The Youth Bowling Clubs Association (YBCA) is a loose group of children’s ten-pin bowling clubs that compete with inter-club competitions regularly throughout the year. It is run on an amateur basis, and each week volunteers from each of the clubs present at a competition provide a referee and scorer for the competition. As the clubs are affiliated with bowling alleys, each club takes it in turns to host the competitions, and there is a rule that no club can have a scorer or referee at a competition they are participating
The Youth Bowling Clubs Association (YBCA) is a loose group of children’s ten-pin bowling clubs that compete with inter-club competitions regularly throughout the year. It is run on an amateur basis, and each week volunteers from each of the clubs present at a competition provide a referee and scorer for the competition. As the clubs are affiliated with bowling alleys, each club takes it in turns to host the competitions, and there is a rule that no club can have a scorer or referee at a competition they are participating in.
The Managing Committee of the YBCA have been organising the competitions informally for many years, and now want to put the officiating on a formal basis, which will be auditable by the Australian Bowling Association (ABA). They have passed a set of by-laws, and to ensure that the process works properly, and is fair, they have decided to commission a computer system – Official-Eze.
The Committee wants the Official-Eze system to automate the process of assigning referees and scorers, so that volunteers can have advance notice of when they are officiating at a competition, where the competition will be held, and the role that they will play there (scorer or referee). This will combine calendaring and scheduling with a
Official-Eze needs to maintain information about the volunteers, including whether they have had training in refereeing and/or scoring, have a government clearance for working with children, and have a current first aid certificate. Obviously, it also needs to keep track of the various matches to be played throughout the season.
Official-Eze should send out text messages a week before a competition, and reminder messages the day before and the morning of the competition. Ideally it should enable a call on a GPS system (such as Google Maps) to show where the competition is being held and how to get there. If a scheduled official is unavailable for a match, she or he will be able to send a notification to Official-Eze, which will then call on remaining volunteers to assign a substitute.
(a) List the stakeholders for the proposed Official-Eze system, and in each case explain what their interest in the system is.
(b) List and briefly describe the functional requirements for the Official-Eze system as identified in the description.
(c) Using the FURPS+ categories, identify and briefly describe several non-functional requirements for Official-Eze. Address all of the categories (URPS+): if you consider that any of them are irrelevant, explain why.
