Project Description:

***Tournament System Project***
The goal of the project is to create a tournament system backend for a custom .Net application that uses the eCommerce portion of a DNN (Don Net Nuke) portal. Hundreds of video game players will sign up to play in a tournament. They will compete against each other playing online Flash games.

The .Net solution must read from the existing databases to check that a user has purchased a ticket to join the tournament. Then, the backend must match up users based on criteria for four rounds of matches. New database tables will need to be created.

C# ASP .Net 2.0 web application with US English comments

The Developer should use best coding practices, code comment all functions, and thoroughly design and document BEFORE starting actual development. We will do a small proof of concept just to make sure the concept works. The POC is a down-and-dirty hardcoded sample to prove that the project can work at all. The eCommerce function already exists.

I will pay you $50 on top of your bid when the documentation and POC is complete.

***Deliverables:***
The Developer will deliver the following:

1) End to End Proof of concept
This is a working mini-app that we can test and install on the site
The purpose is to test the integration between your application and the existing backend
Use hard coded values not the database
ASPX pages with buttons to simulate the steps of starting and completing the process

!! Please see the attached PDF for an example of what the POC should look like. Pages 1-5 are already created. You do not need to create those pages !!

2) Technical Use Cases (see below)

3) Scope document with technical requirements
List the project features and requirements as you understand it

4) Compiled app for testing
Ready to upload app and dll

5) Source files
The final source code, solution files, and project files

***Estimated Time ***
2 hours for proof of concept
-prove that a user can purchase a tournament and two different users can connect for a match using the existing eCommerce storefront
-integration with DNN
-integration with custom .Net application
-integration from Flash to .Net

1 hours for documentation

5-10 hours programming

1 hour bug fixes
