To show “points behind” is certainly possible, but it would take some minor work to put the logic in (basically, appoint a variable as the winner total, then subtract each team’s point count from that variable).

If you’re splitting each of your mini-games into individual entries, again, that’s possible to automate for the “add score” page, but I have no quick code for you.

I will fully explained what type of format I am scoring
maybe I am missing something to do that's simple

FOR EXAMPLE PURPOSES ONLY
A nightly match consist of each team having 5 players
they play 15 games, who wins the night means nothing in the standings
Only the amount of games they win count in the standings,

Its simple, EACH GAME COUNTS AS ONE POINT

a typical score sheet would read 9 games to 6 etc
In this case one team would get 9 points, the other 6 points

the standings would show the team leading has 9 points,
and the team with 6 would be 3 games behind, with the pct field showing
theie game win loss pct results etc

Thanks

Just thought about it, I could get the display result I need by entering every game won during a match as a lets say one would add lets say one baseball game, but I would need to enter every match 10 times every time, is there a way to put a drop down menu or something like team A beat so and so 10 times or lost 5 times etc? that way I could use the Orig win/loss fields because they work with everything already.

Thanks

Yes Pete! that is what I have done thanks for pointing that out

I am currently in the process of trying to remove everything on the standings.php but team name, the RF field, winning percentage and points in that group, but I keep getting parse error's

also is there a way to get games behind, and winning percentage from the RF field instead of the Orig win loss fields?

Thanks
Sonny

In that case, I believe you can just rename the "runs for" column to "points".

The difference is the losing team
would still get points for every match won

example team 1, beat team 2, 3-2 for the night

team 1 would get the night win and 3 points
while team 2 would get the lost, but also get 2 points

Thanks

Regarding the “points per match” — how is that different than the “runs for” total?

The math anti-spam feature is actually built in to the forum software. There's also a similar plugin for WordPress called "did you pass math?" and my combined captcha math anti-spam effort.

Is there a way to get your script to award points per match instead of the win or lost per game?

If anyone has a fix for this?

I understand PHP enough to edit code and make make minor changes on my own but no enough to do this

PS that match required version is 1000 times better then any visual captcha
I have ever seen, I really like that anti spam feature. where can I get that, I would like to implement that into some things

Regarding the sign-up question, I've purposely disabled registration on this forum to keep things simple :) If there's a compelling reason to enable it down the road, I'm certainly open to that!

I sent just you a reply, thanks

is there a way to give a team a point for every match they won
in baseball terminology a point for every run they score even if they lost?
and have a points behind instead of Games behind

Thanks
Sonny

PS is there a sign up lin for the forumk anywhere?
