About The Project

This program was created to calculate CFC ratings for our members. A future implementation would be in embeding this information onto a web service that will automatically calculate ratings. Another idea is to build a HHCC rating system to let our members play each other in-person.

This program runs by calculating CFC ratings from the publicly accessible CFC algorithm viewable on the CFC handbook. It also allows a user to visualize cfc ratings, calculate norms, and titles, and check ratings.

A future goal is to use the public CFC API to connect to user's CFC ID and run various algorithms to automate the finding user data aspect.
