Ah, I get your point, I didnt know. OT-Results must be counted separately so in the database you would probably really need 2 new metrics besides Wins, Losses and Ties. For example in hockey, an overtime win does not show up at wins. Only at OT-Wins. Nor does a 1 point for ties after regular gametime, and a loss after OT show up for ties.

Game 1: Team A vs. Team B: 5:4 (O.T.)

In the standings it would look like this:
TEAM	GP	PTS	W	OTW	L	OTL	GS	GA	+/-
Team A  1        2      0        1      0        0       5       4       +1
Team B  1        1      0        0      0        1       4       5       -1

So Wins, Losses & Ties do not get a +1, ONLY the new metrics OTW & OTL.
But to make it even more confsuing, I guess this changes from league to league or country. It might be possible, that in some leagues they say that an OT Win DOES count to regular wins. I think an optional checkbox for the user to decide whether or not he/she wants OT-Wins to be displayed as Wins OR as OT-wins would be the best solution. But for the database, I think you’d have to add these new ones.

Hi Mark,
me again 🙂 Sorry, I am buggin you all the time, but I really like your plugin and its an essential part, if not to say the heartpiece on my website. Therefore I really appreciated your effort to place my request concerning the OT-game point calculation in the latest update. However now I have a slight issue: The “pointrules” from the settings screen are not calculated correctly when auto-filling standings correcty.

Same situation as mentioned above:In the League settings (for my hockey league) I set up 3 Points for a win, 2 Points for an overtime Win and 1 Point for an overtime loss, (0 for a normal loss of course). I have the league manager add ons plugin running that does the point calculation automatically and the new checkbox for calculation overtime games is active as well..

However in the standings table (after marking the game as final) it still gives the OT-winner 3 points (instead of 2) and 1 Point to the ot looser (ok).
Therefore also in the standings the winning team gets a +1 in “Wins” (instead of in “OTW”). The loosing team correctly gets a +1 in “OTL”.
I might be missing something, but everything else is set up correctly I guess. Its “kinda” critical because all results (also in archived seasons) and other leagues would get messed up by this (if it was a bug) 😉
Could you please have a look?

Hi Mark, yep that worked. Thanx for your help!

Hi Mark,
the add-ons Plugin you mean? Like I said, unfortunaltey its NOT in my list of plugins anymore at /wp-admin/plugins.php –> only the standard league manager plugin shows up here. Thats why I can not simply deactive and reinstall. Im no coder, so I dont know how to delete it from the database manually… 🙁

[Patrick Schmidt]

Haha! I’m sorry about that. But I think I’m done complaining now 😉 Like the plugin. Even more after the next release

Hi Mark,
thanks for the info and going back memory lane for me:) I did uncheck “auto fill” and helped myself by manually editing records. I highly appreciate your announcement fixing this in the upcoming release though. Can’t wait.
Best regards
Patrick
