Leagues tables wrongly computed

[Patroklos Papapetrou]

Hey there We recently purchased the plugin and the add-ons.

We have the following setup.
2 leagues 20 teams ( some teams participate in both leagues )
we entered games and their scores for both leagues.
we enabled the auto-calculation of league standings.

Issue: The standings ( league tables ) are calculated for all games ( not only for the games associated with the league ) which leads to wrong results.

Is this a known issue? Thanks in advance

Hi Patroklos,
Thank you for posting here. The Standings order (and tie-breakers) can be computed based on several metrics, which can be changed on the Settings page. See https://shoalsummitsolutions.com/lmao-settings/

Let me know if this fixes your problem.

Thanks, Mark for the quick response

Yeah, I’ve been through the different available settings but none of them is actually doing the trick.

It seems that we need to add the same team again and again for each league.
Here’s our case. We are building a website for a sports club. This club is the same team in various leagues ( men, women, under16 etc. ) and in each league, there are games against opponents – some opponents might be the same in different leagues.

We don’t need anything related to divisions, conferences etc.
All we need and it seems there’s no way to do it is to have each league standing compute the matches that are related to this league and only this league. Right now all matches are computed even if the match is assigned to another league ( but the team is the same in both leagues ). 🙁

Hi Patroklos,
I tested this on my dev sites (with version 2.8 of both plugins, but nothing changed from 2.7 in this area). It works fine. So I reviewed and thought more about your question and you have a “league set-up/configuration” challenge. It can get confusing and if you don’t set things up right from the get go …. Anyway, I’m sort of thinking out loud here, but maybe some of the following thoughts will help.

The SCHOOLS might help you. [Think of a SCHOOL as a CLUB, whatever.] So you create one school, say “My Club”. Then when you create teams, you assign each team to “My Club”, which simplifies data entry, especially for logos. Say my club has 3 teams – Women’s Soccer, Men’s Soccer, and Junior Soccer. They are going to be in 3 different leagues, they are going to have different schedules. So yes, of course you need to create 3 separate teams.

Here’s another way that might work for you. (Again, you have to think through your site structure before you wade into this swamp.) Create a team called “Opponent Club”, put it in the leagues where the club has teams. This could work for your own club teams as well.

Now let’s talk about the opposing teams (and clubs) you will play. You could create “schools” and teams for them as above. But if you do not care about tracking (displaying) their schedules or tracking them in standings you could create one league for them “Junk League” and assign it to ALL SPORTS. Then you will be able to use the teams in that league as ‘non-league’ games against your club teams. In fact, you could create just one team for each club if you just want to show the club name in your schedules.

I had games designated and league and non-league but the standings just used overall percentage to rank the teams. I wanted to rank by league percentage and then overall percentage to break ties.

so here is what i did.

I made all of the league games also conference games (check mark in manage game or 1 in the csv column). Then set standings to be calculated by conf% first and then overall %. And I display my records team_name, conf_rec, ovrall_rec, GS, GA.

That works for me on the first league I put in. Now jsut have to repeat for about 20 more leagues.

Okay, that sounds like it will work. It all depends on how you set up your DB structure (leagues, teams, sports, etc). Whatever the approach, when you have 20 leagues it’s going to be some work.

If you have other questions, just ask.
