The first release of the Web Interface for Generate Full Tilt Summaries is now live at this location. You can use the search form on the page or if you know the tourney id that you are looking for you can use this URL formatting:

http://www.mattahfahtu.com/generate-full-tilt-summaries-tournament-lookup/[tournament id]

For example the following URL will show you FTOPS Event #3

http://www.mattahfahtu.com/generate-full-tilt-summaries-tournament-lookup/15942234

I have a basic caching system in use for the tournament summaries. I’m sure the load on my box is going to skyrocket if this gets heavy use. I have two boxes writing data to the database and this website reading from the same db. So if the load gets really high, I may have to introduce a tiered setup.

Here is a sample screen shot:

Most Tournaments will have the Full Tilt Client screen shot. Most of the earlier tournaments will not have them. Sometimes the FTC screen shot has another window blocking the full screen shot. It wont happen that often, but some of them will be mucked up. Suggestions? Please reply in the comments to this post.

Here is my short todo list:

  1. If the FTC Screen Shot is available, OCR and update the Tourney name, start and end times.
    Right now, gocr is giving me hopeful results, but not perfect. Tourney 18468812 is ocr’ing to:

    $6 + $O.50 Sit & Go (T4rbo)
    Game: Hold’em (Turbo) _o Limit Status: Completed
    Bu_-In: $6 + $O.50 Started: may 16 09:33
    Entrants: 9 Ended: may 16 10:15

    When it should read
    $6 + $0.50 Sit & Go (Turbo)
    Game: Hold’em (Turbo) No Limit Status: Completed
    Buy-In: $6 + $0.50 Started: May 16 09:33
    Entrants: 9 Ended: May 16 10:15

    Like I said, very close, but I may need to massage the data after executing the ocr pass.

  2. An offsite location to gather the tourney results. - this would be nice, but may never happen.

Here is the SnG filter that I am using:
