Key goals were to:

  • Organise and manage fixtures online
  • Improve inter-player communication
  • Monitor the health of the sport
  • Store and retrieve historical fixture results

In meeting these goals, the Fives Online website provides:

  • Fixture Management tools, encompassing a range of different fixture types, and allowing for the publication of fixtures in a central list and by email.
  • A Player Directory, providing a fuzzy-Player Search facility.
  • A Results section including results of scored fixtures, plus an annual Leaderboard providing rankings based on results of "ladder" fixtures.
  • A Courts directory, providing geo-referenced court information
  • A Club directory, providing club statistics, membership listings and player location by postcode in a Google Maps plugin.
  • Automatic emailing of fixture reminders to participating players.
  • General static webpages to be edited in Dreamweaver.
