arocca1/fantasy-sports-backend

The backend of a fantasy sports application. The goal is to support any sport, and support any database/file system backing. This is just a set of APIs. A front-facing app is required separately

fantasy-sports-backend's Issues

Support waiver claims

Claiming to teams should not be immediate in certain cases. Support delayed adding of players to teams

Base initialization data

Add in really basic sport and real league data to add in a basic data starting point.

This does not include any players.

Support direct payouts

A lot of fantasy leagues are for money with different payout structures, like person that finishes first in league during regular season gets their money back or championship winner gets 70% of pool. Need to support this.

Also, support integrations to Venmo / Paypal

Division support

Be able to create divisions in a league / season
Being able to assign teams to divisions and identify which team is in which division

Reporting of team and bench

For a user, must be able to return their full team. Must also note the distinction between a "starter" and "bench" player, while supporting being able to move people into / out of starting lineup

Player draft

Be able to generate a full draft ordering
Be able to return the "current" user to draft at a given position
Record old drafts
Once draft executes, assign players to teams.
Support draft "import"

Add / drop player support

Must be able to add / drop player from an individual's team

Player and team scoring

Every player needs to be able to have a score associated with them, per week and per season.
There must also be records of scores from previous seasons.
Projected scores per week are a requirement.

Must also be able to support customizable scoring, i.e. PPR in football, etc

There must also be a way to make this available on a full team level

Division and league standings

Explicitly support returning league and division rankings.

Package into a library

The objective of this project is to make this a library that other individuals can use to support the backend for some fantasy sports application. This project will have no UI so it needs to be linkable / referenceable.

Generate schedule

Generate season schedule for matchups

Support creating sport / leagues / seasons

Need some way to create support for a new sport, probably through import. Need way to create new teams and players through this

Need way to generate a new league and add teams to it.

For existing leagues, we need to be able to create new seasons.

Support trades

Users will be able to trade players and / or assets

Customizable playoffs / rankings

This is associated with the creation of divisions, but a league may want to have division winners with a bye week, or other similar things.

In addition, the playoffs may end up deciding things like who gets the first pick in next year's draft. Must support this.

Updating of projected points / scores

What data source has this? How often should they be updated?
Does this add new players as well? How are they added?
