User and Administrator Authentication

This is a longer-term goal, but it would be amazing to have user authentication.

• When logged in, players can update their own names and callsigns.
• Administrators and tournament organizers can create new players and update their ranks.

The biggest hurdle will be linking what the TOs put in with how the player signs up.

After some research, the best way to go about this will be to have a unique token assigned to each player in the database. This token is then provided to the player, and they provide it upon signing up for the app.

This will likely end up being each player's first and last name. Though, in the (very rare) case of duplicates, we'll need a database of these unique IDs to check against and make sure it doesn't already exist whenever administrators create a new player in the rankings system.
