Your gateway to YaleIMs, the homepage offers an intuitive and visually engaging introduction to the platform. Designed by Asya Tarabar (with contribution from Lily Lin and Naomi Ling), the page provides a clear overview of where each of Yale’s 14 colleges stands, with detailed stats and dropdown options for all-time and prediction standings. Implementation was handled by Ephraim Akai-Nettey, Brian Di Bassinga, and Anna Xu, ensuring a smooth and responsive experience.

Scores Page

The scores page provides up-to-date game results in a sleek and functional interface. Designed collaboratively by Lily Lin, Naomi Ling, and Asya Tarabar, with additional contributions from Anna Xu and Ephraim Akai-Nettey, this page ensures easy access to past matches from the fall season.
