Dartsfederatie Kempen

This project was carried out in collaboration with my fellow student Syan Delbart (website). We reached out to Dartsfederatie Kempen (DFK) to understand their current challenges and requirements. It quickly became clear that their existing website no longer met their needs and required a full redevelopment. Our goal was to create a modern web application that would cover all aspects of their organization management and improve their administrative workflow.

Functionalities

The key features we developed include:

• Management of players, teams, and clubs, including creating, editing, and deleting these entities.
• An integrated competition management system allowing users to set up competitions and automatically generate match schedules.
• The ability to enter scores for each player and match on a specific match day through an online scorecard.
• Automatic calculation of rankings and individual rankings, based on the entered match results.

Project Execution

We started by creating prototypes in Figma to provide a visual overview of the new web application and received approval from DFK. We then began development in Next.js, chosen for its scalability and excellent performance. For styling, we used TailwindCSS, which helped us design a modern, responsive, and visually appealing interface.

The backend of the application was built using Cloudflare's serverless architecture, including workers and key-value storage. This ensured a fast and reliable infrastructure that could scale to meet the federation's needs.

In the project, we divided the responsibilities. My contributions included both front-end and back-end development. I designed and implemented the user interface and worked closely with my teammate to ensure that the front-end was consistent and user-friendly. For the back-end, I implemented features to manage players, teams, and competitions and ensured seamless integration of these components.

Conclusion

The final result is a robust and fully functional web application that meets the needs of Dartsfederatie Kempen. The new application has significantly simplified their administrative processes, while enabling them to manage matches more efficiently and track statistics. Both we and the DFK team were very satisfied with the achieved outcome. This project allowed us to enhance our technical skills and deliver a valuable solution that positively impacts the federation's operations.
