Ratings: Possibly Add "Next Scheduled Bout" field?

[Eric the Viking]

One thing that I've always found frustrating when perusing the Boxrec ratings is the lack of a quick way to check for upcoming bouts for fighters - you either have to review the separate schedules of upcoming fights, do a search, or click on a particular boxer to see if he's got anything coming up.

Would it be terribly difficult to add a "Next Scheduled Bout" column to the fighter ratings tables? Contents could be date/venue/opponent/opponent-ranking . The rankings tables (at least as I see them in Firefox) leave plenty of room in terms of width, so I don't think a few extra inches of column width would hurt the page display.

Thanks for your consideration.

The issue wouldn't be how difficult it would be, but more likely how much of a strain it would be on the server.

I have come to realize John can do absolutely anything we ask of him. But the load it might bring on the server may make it something that wouldn't happen.

PM him and see what he says.

A related request:

Would it be possible at all (I think anyway it shouldn't hurt the server too much) to have in the scheduled section a search by continent. As in, like Europe, but with categories for South America and Africa in particular?

[alarmakool]

It is already there. If a country has a scheduled bout, it appears in the dropdown menu. From the schedule page.

Yeah, but I mean grouping togather countries' schedules.

For example, you can search a schedule in Germany, Italy etc, or you can hit the "europe" option to see all the fights scheduled in the entire continent.

So I was wondering whether the same could be done for, say, Africa. So as well as viewing bouts scheduled in South Africa, Kenya etc, there would be a 'whole of Africa' option?
