Why is it worth using QBStatGen reports?
Ease of Creation
Creating a QBStatGen report requires inputting the location of the SQBS Data file and the mySQL databse information; that's it! After that, the webmaster just places the PHP files in any directory and the site is ready to run.
Ease of Use
The QBStatGen page resembles the standard SQBS report, so users will have no trouble adapting to a new interface. QBStatGen reports link nearly every piece of information, so from team information, one can instantly access data about an individual, game, or opponent.
User Options
With QBStatGen, any table can be instantly sorted by any column! Neg Prizes, Bonus Conversion comparisons, Powers-per-neg rankings; all can be instantly created on the user-end!
Webmaster Options
The appearance of QBStatGen reports is completely customizable! Included in this release is a default CSS style sheet, but any webmaster can create their own stylesheet to give their reports a distinct feel, and additional official stylsheets should be released shortly.
Accessability
In recent years, web accessability has become more and more important. The QBStatGen report is XHTML 1.1 compatible, and meets all WAI AAA accessability guidelines, so that any user can view the site, regardless of a disability.
