[TBA]: Team Scoring Data Function

Other The Blue Alliance
1

Here is the completed function I have been working on. It asks for 4 parameters.

  • $teamnumber: Any FIRST
    assigned team number.
  • $year: Any year TheBlueAlliance has data for (2006-present currently).
  • $highscore: Any number you’d like. (explained below)
  • $average: Set to TRUE or FALSE DEFAULT = TRUE
    (averaged score based on match score and total matches played, or just total points scored for the team’s alliance in matches they’ve played in.)

This function serves two purposes. Basically it outputs an array of data (“score” and “bigmatches”).
“Score” is (like said above) Averaged score over the year, or total points scored.
“bigmatches” takes the number set as $highscore and looks at all matches the team has played in. If the teams alliance in each match has a score higher than $highscore the counter goes up 1.

Here’s the code:


function getScoreData($teamnumber, $year, $highscore, $average = true)
  {
      $competitions = array();
      $matches = array();
      $post_comps = array();
      $attendance = array();
	  $bigmatches = 0;
      $event_weeks = array("Pre-Ship", "Week 1", "Week 2", "Week 3", "Week 4", "Week 5", "Week 6");
      $score = 0;
      $events = make_array(get_events(null, $year, null));
      foreach ($events as $event) {
          if (in_array($event"week"], $event_weeks)) {
              $attendance = make_array(get_attendance($event"eventid"], $teamnumber));
              if (count($attendance) > 0) {
                  $competitions] = $event"eventid"];
              }
          } else {
              $post_comps] = $event"eventid"];
          }
      }
      foreach ($competitions as $compID) {
          $matches] = make_array(get_matches($teamnumber, $compID));
      }
      $record = make_array(get_official_record($teamnumber, null, $year));
      foreach ($matches as $match) {
          foreach ($match as $match) {
              $matchid = $match"matchid"];
              if ($match"red1"] == $teamnumber || $match"red2"] == $teamnumber || $match"red3"] == $teamnumber) {
                  $alliance = "red";
              } else {
                  $alliance = "blue";
              }
              if ($alliance == "red") {
                  $score += $match"redscore"];
				  	if($match"redscore"] >= $highscore){
						$bigmatches++;
					}
              } else {
                  $score += $match"bluescore"];
				  	if($match"bluescore"] >= $highscore){
						$bigmatches++;
					}
              }
          }
      }
      if ($average) {
          $average_score = round($score / $record[0]"sum"], 0);
      } else {
          $average_score = $score;
      }
	  $data = array('score' => $average_score, 'bigmatches' => $bigmatches);
      return $data;
  }

Here is an example of hows this would work.


$var = getScoreData(330, 2007, 50); 
echo 'Average score is:'.$var"score"].'<br />';
echo 'Matches Over 50 points:'.$var"bigmatches"].'<br />';

Would return,
Average score is: 72
Matches Over 50 points: 22

I will be setting up a live test version on our website sometime soon. Feel free to use it in your own TBA applications.

Thanks to everyone who helped me find those pesky bugs, and help solve them too
