I was able to add tennis, NASCAR stats. Added an interface, where different sport's game data use different views. The GamesController determines what sport the game is in, the chooses the appropriate view. That was pretty much the only customization in terms of different sports. Everything else is uniform.
A package of my code will be available for download soon. If anything, it should give beginners of Ruby on Rails some insights into using MVC (Model View Controller) architecture. There is also a LOT of code dealing with data scraping using Hpricot and Ruby in general.

One thing I never bothered to do: the server is still run from the standard development WEBrick server. But I don't anticipate enough traffic to justify moving to a production server.
(note for future: the website url may expire in summer 2008 due to Boston College activation/network reasons. If this happens I apologize, all the code is available for download.)

I am a graduate student in computer science at the university of Northern British Columbia. For my thesis am working on building a sports business intelligence system and I came across the Universal sports database paper.
I would like to know if that is the entire thesis or is there any additional work I could find about it to use for my research. It will be really great if you could share me your email or email me at krishnan@unbc.ca on this topic thanks
