    Sorry, only developing locally at the moment so no live site to look at!!

    Anyway, I have been asked to develop a site for a local Lawn Bowls association. They have teams that play in two leagues (fours and triples), each with two divisions. My conundrum is that the points scoring system is different for each of the two leagues and I can’t seem to see a way of achieving this at the moment. Is it possible?

    Hi @jezzerp,

    You mean that for the one league each WIN counts for 3 points and for the other league counts for 2 points for example?

    Thanks,

    Thanks for getting back to me Savvas. Yes, that’s exactly the sort of thing. I just can’t see a direct way to do it, but thought I might be able to use the conditional operators to achieve the e d result?

    Hi!

    Thanks for your reply.

    We do have some topics on this, but the search feature for the forum is not the greatest (even when I know that there’s a topic sometimes it’s hard to find it).

    But in short, one of the ways that you can use for this is different outcomes for each point system.

    So you’d have a win3 for 3 point wins and a win2 for 2 points win. And you need to manually select which one should be in your event outcomes.

    Another idea is using event results fields and conditional operators. So in addition to goals, you’d have a stat called “alternate system”, for instance.

    Then you add this as one in your first event for that competition (you can add more as it doesn’t affect our logic). Then in your points formula you’ll use:

    ( alternatesystem > 0 ) Win * 2 + ( alternatesystem == 0 ) Win * 3

    This is just an example so you’ll see how it works. If there’s this stat you’ll use the alternate system, otherwise it uses the 3 points system.

    Thanks!

    Thanks!! Thats great….will have to try both out and see which would be easiest for the team captains to manage when it comes to entering match results.
