Standings Incorrectly Calculated

Sorry for my delay in responding…

The short answer is that the baseball sport file hasn’t been touched much… The real answer is that the way baseball standings are currently ranked are by number of wins and then if there’s a tie the secondary sort is number of losses. I’m currently working on the baseball file to clean up some PHP Strict mode errors and to update this rankings issue, so feel free to add your opinion on how you’d like it to work. The ultimate plan is to allow the user to choose their method of ranking and tiebreakers.

I like the idea of users having the ability to change the ranking as you have described. Not sure how hard that would be to implement.

The main issue right now is that the calculations do not go far enough. Wins then losses and then ties are decided based on the team’s group ID in LeagueManager….PCT would be a better ranking engine since different leagues might score W/T/L differently.

Even in the short term if it could be ranked something like”
PCT then
GB then
RF

what is needed to move this ahead?

Hi – has anything materialized on the ranking for baseball? I cannot for the life of me get my plugin to rank based on win percentage and then wins. Ive modified the baseball.php file in the rankteams part to change the ranking to these fields but it doesnt do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

@unimaxx – i like the softball site standings you showed in a previous post – thats what Im trying to achieve but cant figure out what changes to make where.

I’ve got most of the work done with the baseball sport file, but was pulled away for a few days on something. I’ll wrap it up shortly and give you something to test.

That’d be great. I’ve been battling with it. Since it ranks teams with losses descending, it then calculates GB. You can see at the standings page of powerlinebaseball.com. Getting this fixed would be great.

Hi Lamonte,

I tried to reach you on a few threads but have not been successful. Running into a problem with Championship mode. When entering teams in for Quarter final matches, I can add one match, but any time I try to add a second one, I get this Error:

ANY Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
