I have some free time at work, not much, but enough to start getting my head around XCode, Cocoa, Objective-C and the iPhone SDK (geek I know).
I've been planning an iPhone app for a while for use by referees, not just for the league, but any games.
I'm still planning the interface and user flow for it, but the basics are.
Team info:
Team Name, player names.
Game settings:
Team 1 and Team 2.
Number of games, 1 or multi game fixture (2, 3, 4, 5 etc)
Golden Goals on/off
Time Limit (0 for untimed)
Goal Limit (5 by default, 0 for unlimited (must be a timed game))
It will remember the last settings used.
In Game View:
Time remaining
Scores for Teams
Buttons to assign goal to a player, which will record the time they scored also (another button needs adding to assign Own Goals).
After the game has completed, it's possible to copy the text at the bottom to the clipboard and auto launch another app such as twitter or facebook to post to there.
If people have any ideas about what could be added, fire away.
There are longer term plans with this, such as linking in with player profiles stored on leagueofbikepolo.com. But that's a fair way off yet.
It could also be used connected to a server running the Greifmasters software (or similar). So a ref at a big tourney can update the scores, start stop the timer etc right from his phone.
