 * [@reaser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reaser/) Player Performance refers
   to the box score in events. Examples of performance are: Goal Attempts, Goals,
   Fouls, and Assists.
 * Player Statistics are calculated from Player Performance, Player Metrics, and
   Event Results. Examples of statistics are: Goal Percentage (100 × Goals ÷ Goal
   Attempts) and Fouls Per Game (Fouls ÷ Events Played).
 * Generally, simple values that are calculated as totals over time should be performance,
   and values that are calculated by combining other values should be statistics.

 * Okay sorry I’m still a little lost on how these should be used.
 * Here is what I want.
    Team Roster page with list of all players Team Stats page
   basically lists the rosters with total stats from the competition. Player profile
   I want to have a history of all stats from all competitions.
 * So I have the team roster player list built with custom metrics. Completed
    Team
   Stats page is where I’m getting stuck. Do I create a new player list then add
   the Statistics only that I want used? Which then pulls from all the events in
   parameters I’ve set?
 * Seems like a basic concept but I’m just getting confused with teh Performance
   Section and where it’s actually used.
 * I love this plugin it literally is 100% customizable but that also creates some
   confusion until I completely understand each feature and how it works.
