About this Website...

The NorthWest Colts League website has been developed by a team of people - Entice Design (Visual appearance), CVW Web Design (CSS and framework code) and Double 6 (HCL® Domino® development) - to provide a simple to navigate, mobile friendly site which will display data from the RFU's Game Management System (GMS) utilising an Application Programming Interface (API) developed on behalf of the RFU by First Sports.
The advantage of this approach is that fixtures and results are only entered once directly into GMS by the various League Secretaries. In fact in a recent update of technologies RESULTS are input Directly to GMS from the EMC's (Electronic Match Cards) submitted by Team Managers. This data is then made available by the API for the League's server to collect on demand and display within the website.
Most of the site is displayed dynamically from the API and from data, such as Team Contact information, held in the League's back end HCL® Domino® database. Content such as News and Regulations etc has been, and will be, input by the League themselves and is stored in the same database.
