Biography
I am currently embersed in A-levels, studying Further Mathematics (More Maths than just Maths, and a bit quicker), Physics, Chemistry and Economics.
I am a sports fanatic. I love English sports, such as Snooker, Cricket, Soccer (or football as we call it). But I have grown to like American sports, mainly through the EA Sports Series. I particularly like the NHL; I only wish Britain were any good at Ice Hockey.
Outside of sports, I am the captain of my school's chess team. I am the third best in the school, and captained the team to Third in Division II of the Birmingham & District Junior Chess League. I have won the school's UK Chess Challenge Heat, and the Warwickshire Megafinal (that's good - it means I am the best Under 16 in Warwickshire (although I know I'm not)).
To update this for the first time since September, I am now well into my A Levels (Further Maths, Economics, Physics and Chemistry), and take exams in them all in May/June.
This site inspired me to start my own wiki, based on chess for my school. To see my handy work, click here, but don't sign up, since it's a school only thing.
My Projects
Complete
Ongoing
- Cricket - A working progress, this could take years to complete such is the scale of the game. Help with this would be very appreciated.
- PGA - I have a biography, sort of thing, of the best British courses. I will write that up, then I will put hole diagrams up (when I can find them!). At least Royal Liverpool was easy enough. I might have to wait until the end of the year to get the diagrams for the following year off opengolf.com. Let me know if you know of a better source.
- Detroit Red Wings Player Stats - I am going to try to put the stats on each page.
Proposed
- Rugby - Just got to get time to get around to it.
Running
- Snooker - I did practically the entire snooker section, with a bit of help from the administrators that put the pages in place. It is nearly complete, and the last touches will be done over the next few weeks. I will do news/opinions based on it as time passes.
- England - A page which shows everything about English sport. I know a few of my friends are going to help with some red links, but feel free to put in some of them yourself.
- Formula One - Is going to take a while, by "a while" I mean several years. I have to write reports for over 800 Grands Prix, then put driver and constructer profiles in place. Good old wikipedia has the results and GrandPrix.com has reports (that I reword to avoid copyright laws, unlike wikipedia, which copies and pastes them directly...) My aim is to complete the historical section within the next... 10 years. I promise that is not likely to happen. If you would like to help, I plead with you to do so.
- ArmchairGM Fantasy Sports Leagues - Or at least the soccer and hockey bits.
Proposing
- ArmchairGM Hall of Fame - The idea was approved, and we seem to have worked out the workings amongst ourselves. Now we need to wait for voting technology to be available to work it. Looking forward to that... Awkwardly, I took that title when I outlined my idea, but I'm sure the administrators can get around it. Still, the link shows you the discussion the community had.
Contact/Challenge Me
If you know of a source I could use, or would like to help with any of my plans, then leave a message on my talk page. Leave a message on there if you would like to challenge me to a showdown.
