A quick tour

On first opening the website, you'll be greeted with a striking interactive leaderboard showing the profiles of the Association's top heroes. In the top left corner you'll find a navigation menu. From there you can log in to the administration panel. There you'll find a sidebar listing information that no doubt will be familiar to you as a Hero Association staff member, such as hero and duel listings, as well as completed data submission reviews submitted by your colleagues. Feel free to click around and explore!

You'll find that from each listing, you can access a specific entry to get a more detailed view, which also includes a sub-listing of different kinds of related entries. Each page has powerful actions available at the click of a button, letting you correct data with maximum convenience!

When submitting records of a duel, our state-of-the-art ELO rating system will automatically update the involved Hero's ELO-rating. Say goodbye to tedious pen-and-paper maths!

We of Caped Compiler Commando's software team wish you the best of luck in your work of aiding the Hero Association in its crucial mission of protecting society.
