drawpia

A simple command line tool for performing draws.

features

• Performing a draw between unlimited number of entries with different group sizes.
• Ability to set a restricted level for each entry to be able to distribute such entries on different groups without putting two entries with the same restricted level in the same group (if it's not possible, an error would be raised).
• Ability to set an optional level for each entry to be able to try to distribute such entries on different groups without putting two entries with the same optional level in the same group (if it's not possible, optional level would be ignored).

data

You should first fill this file with real data:

• files/entries.txt: Contains the name, restricted level and optional level of each entry. restricted level and optional level are not mandatory but each entry can have them if needed.

  These combinations are possible for each entry:

  • Name
  • Name + Restricted Level
  • Name + Restricted Level + Optional Level

  Note that if you only want to have optional level without restricted level, you can set a unique restricted level per each entry to make it non-effective.

  There are four sample files which can be used to get familiar with the data structure:

  • files/samples/entries.sample1.txt: Contains a sample data with only name.
  • files/samples/entries.sample2.txt: Contains a sample data with only name + restricted level.
  • files/samples/entries.sample3.txt: Contains a sample data with mixed entry structures.
  • files/samples/entries.sample4.txt: Contains a real sample data for drawing 16 football teams in groups of 2.

drawpia's Issues

Fix records with optional level distributed on the same group

Fix records with optional level distributed on the same group.
It could be done after the draw has been finished by checking each group and their available optional levels.

Add another layer of restricted level

Add another layer of restricted level.
it could be specified at the end of the line, after the optional level.
it should have the same criteria as first restricted level, not to be bigger than total groups count.

Allow each level to be empty and ignored

Allow each level to be empty and ignored. this way each entry can have any combination of levels.
Note that the order of each part should be kept intact.
for example:
Germany[][][***]Restricted_Level_Layer_2
in this example the entry only has restricted layer level 2 but it does not have restricted level and optional level.
