Hi all,

I’m working on a sport game that needs a timing system with the  
following  
needs:

- The game works on a Season basis. So players will be able to see which  
day  
of the season today is.
- Games will be scheduled according to this Season’s time.
- Length of day can be customized. Not necessarily 24h as a normal day.
- Administrator can start and restart seasons by specifying start-end  
date  
and off-season.

I wonder if there’s any Rails plugin that supports this system, if  
should we  
build one of our own.

I look forward to your reply.

Best,
