Abstract

Diamond Cricket Club located at Islamabad offers several activities between team, members for promoting the importance of sports in daily life. Diamond Cricket Club has number of staff who manage the members data, team data, financial records, diamond ground booking data and match scheduling details. This staff includes members, who also play a role of players in team. The current system is totally based on paper work, which causes many problems for storing and retrieving data. The administrator staff faces problems to save paper-based record. It is not adequate approach to store data of members, team and their financial records, winning awards data in form of papers. Therefore, we need to establish a system which performs the club operations in reliable way and maintain records of team, club members and all other relevant details such as financial records, ground booking, member monthly fees, membership dues and payment details of match tickets. A web-based system is introduced to address above-mentioned problems in a structured way and we can also store data in a digital form. The system manages player portfolio, team data, financial records, match scheduling, employee records with their payment details and ground booking records. Administrator, members of club and any free end user can use Duck-Worth Lewis calculator. Administrator can perform queries for making strategic and tactical decisions like selection of members in a team according to their previous history or status. Beside it, this system can be used by administrator as a server side and client can access it through the internet. The clients can get information about club activities such as upcoming matches from the system and he can book match tickets online by entering his details such as email or name etc. The clients can request for membership in club by entering their details later on server side administrator can reject or accept his request based on rules of club. Members and users can send feed-back to club. Only residence of Islamabad and Rawalpindi can send requests for membership and ground booking because initially, we are just taking two cities. The role of coach and cricket tournaments with score sheets are not included. The tools used for developing this system are Dream Viewer, WAMP Server. Three or four languages have been used for constructing web-based system that are PHP (Personal Home Page) HTML5, AJAX, JQuery, Bootstrap and JavaScript. We need internet to access the system. Without the internet users will not access the system. For future enhancement, we will include other operations like diamond cricket academy records such as trials details and each learner details. It will allow sponsors to elect team from club for advertisement. Cricket Academy System will also be included in the system. This system will support the live matches for clients. The graphs based records such as performance of members will be shown through multiple graphs. We will manages the user requests for membership in club and ground booking for more than two city.
