Updates for the 2011-2012 season

[Spencer Condie]

I hate feeling like I am beating a dead horse, but I just wanted to get a little feedback as I prepare to make all of the necessary updates to the app. In addition to updating all the relevant information for individual state championships, team championships, numbers of place winners per school, streaks, and family information, I have been wanting to include a final page that I would simply call "searchable database" wherein one could look up whatever you wanted. For example, you don't remember his name but you are certain that a guy from........Moorcroft placed in the top 4 back in the late 60's, but somehow he came up in a conversation, and you think he might be a brother to someone else that your brother wrestled at state 2 years later. All you would need to do would be to leave all search areas blank such as first name, last name etc, but search FOR, 1968, Moorcroft, and it would then bring up all place winners from Moorcroft in 1968. Or you wanted to find out if so and so could have been a state champ somewhere for some other school but he lived in Greybull that year when he couldn't make varsity. You would just search for 132 pounds, in 1987, and leave all other fields blank and it would list all place winners (18 names, 6 per weight at 3 different classes) at 132 in 1987, or you could narrow it down to all 1st place winners at 132 in 1987, and it would give you the names of the 3 state champs.

Anyway, I was told that it would cost me a little bit more than just updating everything else if I wanted to include this "searchable database" so I wanted to hear from you about doing this before I actually went to that extra expense. So I guess what I am saying is, rather than having what it normally has had, the app would now include EVERYONE who ever PLACED AT STATE, PERIOD, regardless of what place that was.

Let me know.
