So I’m going off of memory here but I believe the RANKING only takes effect when you are using RECORDS and not AUTO-FILL. AUTO-FILL works off the game results and RANKING plays no role there. As I recall, RANKING allows one to make the standings however you want them manually when the available options just won’t work. (There have been some strange cases over the years! LOL) Then you have to update the standings manually, which kinda sucks, but you can do whatever you want with them.
BTW, anything involving Goals/Points scored is being avoided in the US to discourage any reward for “running up the score”.
As far as the code snippets, the place to look for what’s available is under FILTERS in the documentation. I don’t think other options can be added to what’s there; that wouldn’t be simple. BUt I like the idea!!
I hope that helps a little.
