This program is designed to manage a Football Death Pool game. In this game, participants choose one team per week that they believe will win their game. If the chosen team loses, the participant is eliminated from the pool. The game continues until one participant remains.
- Initialize a new game with participants and their initial picks
- Update weekly game outcomes
- Check for participant elimination based on weekly game outcomes
- Output updated participant list and their status
- Web interface for easier management and display (optional)
- Python 3.x
- Pandas library
- Openpyxl library (for reading Excel files)
- Flask
- Flask-WTF for forms
- Install Python 3.x from here.
- Install required Python packages:
pip install pandas pip install openpyxl
- Install Flask and Flask-WTF:
pip install Flask pip install Flask-WTF
- Prepare an Excel file (
PlayerList.xlsx) that contains the list of participants and their picks for each week. - Place this file in the
./data/directory.

python DeathPool.py - The program will read the
PlayerList.xlsxandWeeklyGameOutcome.csvfiles to update the game state. - The program will output updated CSV files with the current state of the game.
