Club Ratings Manager 1.1 - DOWNLOAD NOW!

The club ratings manager, coded by Toly Zharkikh, is a useful tool that allows chess clubs of any size to establish their own local ratings. It provides an easy way to report scores, calculate new ratings, and keep track of the club ladder. It is based on jsp and MySql. To see what it looks like, click here. I have decided to make it open source and now it is finally available to download.

And before you leave, be sure to check out my astronomy photo archive. Almost all those have been taken in Salt Lake City with a Starlight Xpress M5C CCD camera.
