TFC League Player Tracker

You should be able to get a pretty good idea of what this does just by poking around, but basically it is a system designed to show a consolidated set of roster, player & banlist data for the main TFC leagues, along with some reports that present the information in interesting and useful ways.

League admins and clan leaders are likely to get the most use out of this, but it should also be of use, or at least of interest, to a lot of other people. It was created originally as just a fun side-project, but as it grew, the more it became apparent that it could be a great tool for admins & clan leaders to do research, complementing FriedBunny's Steam ID tracker.

Freedom of information breeds accountability, and we have seen a lot of great benefits by having tools like the Steam ID tracker. This tool is completely different than that one; it will not show you IP addresses or histories of clan rosters or anything like that. What it WILL show you is a snapshot of all current ACTIVE league rosters and banlists in the main TFC leagues.

Who Made It:

This was created in April, 2005 by me, Blargh. I'm not the same Blarg that you may have seen on some Gold/1a rosters (I suck far too much at TFC for anybody to really know who I am). I've stayed pretty quiet during most my years playing TFC. I started playing the game sometime in 2001 and fell in love with it. I've developed a few clan websites and helped UGC with their website on multiple occasions, and I work professionally as a programmer, so this kind of work is not new to me. I'm not really sure what inspired me to make this new tracker, but I thought it would be fun to do. I hope you get some use out of it!

Thank you to all the league admins who spend so much of their free time to administer the leagues, to keep them fun and fair and interesting. Being a league admin can be a pretty thankless job at times, but I know how much work many of you put in to your respective leagues, and I appreciate what you are doing for the game and for the community.

Thanks to all the clan leaders and players out there who have managed to keep this game going for such a long time. We all know that TFC isn't as popular as it used to be, and I am very impressed with the way so many of you have stayed around and kept the game alive.

Lastly, thanks to the few people to whom I showed this tool while I was developing it, who gave me encouragement and support (you know who you are). It is much appreciated.
