I am trying to configure SportsPress so it can handle the scoring for Stoolball,

Hi

I have been playing around with the configuration of SportsPress in an attempt to get it to capture the various details and results of a stoolball match. I thought I was almost there, but having shown the client my progress today, it seems I missed some of the logic of Stoolball scoring(!).

Stoolball scoring is very similar to cricket, and in fact I’m wondering if it would have been better to select ‘Cricket’ for the Sport, rather than Custom, as I have. Could you tell me what would happen if I were to change it from Custom to Cricket, when I’ve configured it in this way already? I don’t want to lose anything, and asking you is easier than setting up another site and trying it out!

I have set up the configuration as per this screenshot: http://support.themeboy.com/attachments/token/Kql9fwR0zbCLUv4UxIcdMcxmO/?name=StoolballLeagueSportsPressConfiguationScreen.png, and as you can see, this configuration allows me to capture information such as the number of Byes/Wides/NoBalls and a handicap, which appear on the score sheet against the team as a whole. The problem is that these actually need to be added to the runs for the team. I understand this is exactly the same as for cricket – how does SportsPress handle this for cricket?

The other problem I have is that all the results appear in one table, so for example, a player would have the following information displayed: HowOut – Runs – Overs – Wickets. However, the client feels that if the number of overs appears right next to the number of runs, then it’s highly likely that anyone reading the scores would assume that they scored, for example, 12 runs in 3 overs, whereas it is actually indicating that they scored 12 runs while batting, and bowled 3 overs, which is completely different. The client would therefore like the batting and bowling scores to appear either in separate tables, or on different rows in the same table, or (and I think this is the most easily achievable) as they do but with a thick bold vertical line separating the two sets of columns. Could you comment on how this is handled by SportsPress for cricket?

I dare say it’s probably worth me setting up a second site and trying SportsPress with the Sport set to Cricket, but if you could come back to me with your thoughts, that would be most helpful.

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

The configuration for cricket is as follows:

Event Outcomes
- Win
- Loss
- Draw
Team Results
- 1st
- 2nd
- 3rd
- 4th
- BP
- Points
Player Performance
- Runs
- Wickets taken
Table Columns
- P = Events Played
- W = Win
- L = Loss
- D = Draw
- T = Tie
- BP = BP
- Points = Points
- Streak = Streak
If you’ve selected “Custom” already and added your own variables, don’t worry — your work won’t be erased. When you select another sport, the presets will be added to your custom variables.

Regarding your client’s concern about separating runs and overs, both options are possible.

1. To display the player statistics via separate tables, create 2 separate Player Lists and select the same criteria in the “Details” section, but different columns to display. The same data will be displayed with the selected columns only visible.

2. To add a bold line between the columns, add the following code to SportsPress > Settings > Custom CSS:
```
.sp-player-list .data-runs {
border-right: 1px solid #000;
}
.sp-player-list .data-overs {
border-left: 1px solid #000;
}
```
I hope this helps! FYI, This community forum is not regularly monitored, so it is much quicker to contact us via our support site for future queries.
