Welcome to the foosobsplus wiki!

The following code scheme will allow you to record every possession in a game by just learning what each position in the code designates and learning only a handful of codes. Using these codes, the score and timers can be automatically maintained throughout the match. Each position in the code has from 2 to 10 possible mostly intuitive values. Below is the breakdown of the code.

1st position - team: which team has the ball.

• y - yellow team
• b - black team
• x - command trigger (see below for list of commands)

2nd position - rod: where is the ball:

• 2 - 2 bar or 3 bar goalie rod. These rods are treated as one rod.
• 3 - 3 bar forward rod.
• 5 - 5 bar forward rod.
• g - goal (someone scored)
• o - off table
• d - dead ball

3rd position - action: how did the ball get here:

• c - clear
• p - pass
• s - shot
• d - drop (serving ball after a score or being knocked off the table or after time out called)
• t - time out
• r - reset
• w - reset warning
• x - penalty (see 4th position for penalty modifiers)
• y - ball placement after a technical foul shot has been taken
• e - error (turnover)

4th position - detail: provides more detail for the action if needed.

• b - break - used with pass or shot to designate that the attempt was successful, but only because of a lucky break
• f - stuff - used with shot or pass to indicate shot/pass was stuffed into shooters/passers goal (y3p, ygsf)
• w - 3 walls 5 bar violation - used with 3rd position set to x
• s - spin violation - used with 3rd position set to x
• j - jarring violation - used with 3rd position set to x
• d - distraction - used with 3rd position set to x
• t - too many time outs - used with 3rd position set to x
• p - illegal pass - used with 3rd position set to x
• x - technical foul - used with 3rd position set to x
• r - ready protocol violation - used with 3rd position set to x
• o - other violation - future rules or ones just overlooked - used with 3rd position set to

Examples (this is laid out in the form of an actual game taking place):

• y5d - ball is on the 5 bar of the yellow team who "has the drop" either due to winning the coin toss, ball off the table, or oppenent scored.
• y5d or b5d will always be how a new point, game, and match start out.
• y3p - ball is passed to the 3 bar
• bgs - ball shot into black team's goal (score y=1, b=0)
• b5d - now black team has ball on the 5 from the drop.
• y5xw - ball on yellow 5 man because black team hit 3 walls on their 5 bar possession.
• y3p - ball successfully passed from 5 bar to 3 bar.
• y2s - ball was shot, but missed and landed on yellow 2 bar.
• y5p - ball passed to yellow 5 bar successfully.
• ygp - yellow tried to pass to 3 but was blocked into their own goal (score y=1, b=1)
• y5d - yellow has ball on 5 bar after black scored.
• y5t - yellow called time out, ball still on the 5 bar
• y5d - yellow starts play again from 5 bar
• b3p - pass to 3 bar successful
• b3r - yellow blocking agressively and reset is called
• ygs - ball shot into yellow goal (score y=1, b=2)

To Do:

-Bugs:

• Undo past a XPSM works, but does not show the history. May need to make memento for statsentrypanel
• How to handle an informal timeout (e.g. was that legal discussion)
• Reset All, reset game counts should reset currentGameNumber and repaint game tables. Same with Clear button in team panels

-Impactful:

• Handle Penalties (too many timeouts, 3 walls, etc) - no clue what to do here. Penalty window? or add to Team panels?
• Put Clear stats in Stat History and make undo work for it.
• Write Game Scores
• Add Game Scores file names to files window (maybe make one file to hold entire game table for use in reloading/saving)
• Make Start Match button alternate to End Match and when pressed, it logs match info to database.
• Database??? - https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/java/db-desktop-apps.html
• #10 Show who took time out for parameter number of seconds or until ball back in play

-Beneficial:

• Need 4th character for TimeOut??? (so far no)
• Allow Action Position vs Position Action - paramaterize?
• Settings - Prevent same letter for two mnemonics
• Add legend to Help
• Add Win by last game only parameter and logic
• Incrementing score should unpause match??? since it restarts and unpauses the last score timer. maybe it should not unpause the last score timer???

-Undecided:

• Split out 5 bar passing?
• Aces Stats - how to determine aces - what is an ace?
• Match winner show team name or forward/goalie name - or parameter so user decides - if team names blank, show f/g names and vice versa
• Code Settings Page (allow setting of stat codes if they don't like the default)
• Add handicap match checkbox parameter and Points to win for each team (team 1 - 9 points, team 2 - 5 points)
• change statsDisplayPanel to a table??

-Rejected:

• Add match time to game Table Window Panel - already have match time as separate file and not a nice way to add to table.
• Time since last score - each team: (Reject since already have times as windows)
• c. Write times to files - not wanting to do this - concerns of speed/io issues - but can let filename control (if empty - do not write)
• d. Add filesnames in files settings screen
• Add game winner pointer (similar to LastScored) - game table shows game winners
• Add match winner pointer (similar to LastScored) - game table shows match winner
• Game Time Start/Stop/Reset - Maybe make minutes only for match/game timers?? - Start Game already resets Game time. Pause Match pauses game timer.
