Design Choices

1. Flask Framework: Chosen for its simplicity and flexibility, making it suitable for a project of this scale.
2. SQLite Database: Used for its ease of setup and integration with Flask. It is sufficient for the application's needs.
3. Session Management: Implemented using Flask-Session to manage user sessions and maintain login states.
4. Password Security: Passwords are hashed using Werkzeug's security module to ensure user data is protected.

Features

• User Registration and Login: Users can create accounts and log in to the application.
• Profile Management: Users can view and update their profile information.
• Event Registration: Users can enroll in multiple sports events.
• Admin Dashboard: Admins can create new events, manage existing events, and download participant data.
• CSV Download: Admins can download filtered participant data in CSV format based on selected criteria.

Challenges

One of the challenges faced during development was ensuring the integrity and validation of user input, particularly for phone numbers and passwords. The application enforces a strict format for phone numbers and a minimum length requirement for passwords to enhance security and user experience.

Future Enhancements

• Email Notifications: Implementing email notifications for event registrations and updates.
• User Roles: Expanding the admin dashboard to include more granular user role management.
• Enhanced Analytics: Adding more detailed analytics and reporting features for admins.
• ability to remove admins by having a super admin

This project has been a great learning experience, and I am proud of the features and functionality implemented. I look forward to further enhancing the application based on feedback and user needs.
