Ties in League Standings

  • We have a number of games that have ended in a tie. The league standings table isn’t reflecting that, since it only shows wins and losses.

    So, I tried to fix this myself. I went to SportsPress, Customize, and created an Outcome called “Tie”, variable of “tie”, abbreviation of T, and a condition of “Equal R”.

    Then I scrolled down to Table Columns, Add New, Label “T”, Equation “tie”, Description “Ties”.

    The League Table looks like this:
    [league_table id=”124″ title=”AAA League Standings” number=”-1″ columns=”t,w,l,pct,gb,rs,ra,diff,lten,strk” show_team_logo=”1″ show_full_table_link=”1″ align=”none”]

    PROBLEM 1: The count for ties is wrong. I know that a certain team has 2 ties, but it’s showing as 1.

    PROBLEM 2: It’s showing as Ties, Wins, Losses, no matter which order I put it in the short code. It’s confusing, since people want to see records as Wins, Losses, Ties.

    Is there something wrong with what I did, or is there a bug in the code?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi!

    Let’s fix one issue at a time.

    First regarding the wrong ties, please set all events as drafts. This way you’ll have no data in your table. Then set them back as published one by one, this way you can see which ones have the wrong outcome, so you can fix them.

    Kind Regards,

    For the problem with Ties showing first, go into SprortsPress -> Configure -> Ties and make sure the Order is set higher than Win and Loss

    Roch… I did what you said. Thanks for the tip- I found it. The third game, score was 9-9. Changing it from Draft to Published, and the Ties did not increase. I can’t see anything wrong with it. I manually changed the outcome to Tie for each team instead of auto, and it works now. However, I still want to fix it, because there are 42 teams, and I don’t know if there are problems with other scores.

    Gator8, that worked perfectly. Thanks!

    Hi!

    Probably there are some mistakes in the data input. You could try recreating the events for example to make sure that no metadata (hidden fields) has been lost and that everything is set as it should in terms of clubs, competitions, season..

    So, I’ve got it to show wins first column, losses second column, and ties third column, but L10 (last 10) is showing T-W-L. I can’t find where to change that.

    I have a question about League Standings. So, Ties seem to be giving me a problem. In our league if a team has a 2 – 2 – 1 record it is position lower then someone that has a 2-2 record. Now, If the team that has a 2-2-1 record beat the team with the 2-2 record, they should be above them in the standings.. But, it has them below them in the standings. Hopefully this makes sense, but I am trying to figure out a way to make this work.
