Creating a pre-match Borrow / Request overlay in TWD ( mostly required for TWBD )

[BIET]

The right one is pretty messy and could be cleaned up by always leaving a blank row between borrow requests and available borrows. And in the case of there being too many requests, it could omit available players altogether.

This layout makes sense to me:
- 2 columns per squad
- sort the players by status then name
- fill the first column first, then overflow into the second column
- you end up with empty slots, like so:

FU INC........... DIVINE...........
A PRESSU R ZIDANE A BRAM.. R EASE
A OGRON. D WARPOR A GUMGY. D AUTO
R MIDOEN -------- R JAMAL. --------
R MIKKIZ -------- R DREAMW --------
R BEAM.. -------- R DWOPPL --------

Then you fill those empty slots, left to right. So if available players are: Apt, Dare, Qan, Rage, TPZ it's like this:

FU INC........... DIVINE...........
A PRESSU R ZIDANE A BRAM.. R EASE
A OGRON. D WARPOR A GUMGY. D AUTO
R MIDOEN X APT... R JAMAL. X RAGERI
R MIKKIZ X DARE.. R DREAMW X TPZ
R BEAM.. X QAN... R DWOPPL --------

I feel like including the available players split between the two squads would be confusing

I think that's cool

Time for other ppl to chime in.

It's not anything fancy, but if you want to play around, and know a bit of javascript, here's an "interactive" version. https://editor.p5js.org/BIET/sketches/OwZFBqipG
