    Hi there, I would really like to use Your awesome plugin for my new site, but I am a little lost, I would like to use it for a specific sport – speedway. There are two types of events, classic league events – team vs. team and individual tournaments. In this case I would need to configure the system for two types of events. What steps should I take to do it? I am a little lost to be honest with creating formulas and set everything right.

    First event – team vs. team has this rules – every rider scores points for his team, the points are summed in the end and who was more points wins, winner takes 2 points to the table, looser 0, 1 point for each in case of tie. Looks easy but I don’t know how to create the formula for this correctly (couldn’t find some good tutorial for it)

    Second event – individual tournament – every rider scores points for himself, on the end the rider with most points wins, or there is additional extra heat which will decide a winner (not necessary the one with most points). In case of 2 riders have the same amount of points, there are some additional rules to point out the better one. Would it be possible to set something like this in SportsPress?

    Hi!

    Thanks for reaching out and I’m sorry for the trouble.

    My name is Roch and I’m going to help you with your support issues.

    It is certainly possible to have different formats (team vs team and player vs player), and even some slight point variations.

    But regarding your tournament, is it something similar to a round-robin tournament? If yes, it’s very likely that you’ll need our Pro version as the free doesn’t have this feature.

    If it is just a regular competition, please let us know how it works overall so we can help you with your setup.

    Thanks!

    Hi, thank You for reply. I managed to configure team vs. team format as it is similar to soccer, but I am not sure if I’ve got the points formula right. I’ve used the one from soccer demo. There are 2 points for win, 1 for tie and 0 for loss, no other combination, no extra time or something like this, how to create proper function for this? Current formula is “win x 2 + tie” but I am not sure if it is right. It is counting wins properly but I am not sure about tie, didn’t test it yet.

    the second format is really simple, it is one-time individual tournament, where riders score points, the one with most points wins. In SportPress I can create this kind of tournament, I can add riders (players), I can fill their names with scored points, but I don’t know how to create a function to sort them from the best to the worst. There are usually about 16 riders.

    Hi!

    Thanks for your reply.

    ” Current formula is “win x 2 + tie” but I am not sure if it is right”
    That’s correct. The event outcome returns 1 for the outcome you had and zero for the others. So if you had 10 wins, 2 losses and 3 ties, each of these variables are going to return these numbers. Since your points formula is 2 * win + tie you’ll get the right amount of points (20 + 3).

    ” I don’t know how to create a function to sort them from the best to the worst.”
    If you mean in the event results page, we don’t have this function indeed. You’ll need a bit of custom code to achieve that.

    If you mean in a league table or similar, you’ll probably need different event outcomes for the player vs player mode (add event outcomes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd… 16th) and when adding the event you’ll select the outcome each player had. This way you can also use these in the points formula (and league tables).

    You can hide / show columns for each league table separatedly so each table (team vs team and player vs player) would have the correct columns for them.

    Thanks!

    I think I managed to configure it all as I wanted, within the possibilities of the SportsPress system. But I am still missing some possibilites to sort the results (points) of “players vs. player” event in event page. Now the results in event page are sorted by the players names, but It would be nice to be able to sort it by the result or points.

    One more thing, I noticed when I create PvP event and use the countdown widget and and event list widget, there is a photo of one of my “players” in front of the name of the event instead of the event featured image, is it possible to turn it off or choose some other thumbnail for PvP event? With Team vs. Team it is working fine and I would like to keep team logos.

    This is my PvP event test page: http://test.speedwayclub.sk/archiv/event/medzinarodne-majstrovstva-slovenska

    This is my TvT event test page: http://test.speedwayclub.sk/archiv/event/speedway-club-zarnovica-vs-ak-marketa-praha

    Language of the page is Slovak.

    One last thing, is it possible to hide “zeros” from the collumns without 0 value in the table?

    By the way thank You very much for the awesome support. Helped a lot.

    Hi!

    Thanks for your reply. I should have

    “Now the results in event page are sorted by the players names, but It would be nice to be able to sort it by the result or points.”
    That requires some custom code in your theme, unfortunately.

    “is it possible to turn it off or choose some other thumbnail for PvP event? ”
    We can turn it off via CSS. Changing it would require some code adjustments. I’ll also send this to our dev team ( @savvasha ) so they can check as well. Add the following code in your custom css field ( Wp admin > SportsPress > Settings > General > Custom CSS ) and let us know how it works:

    .td_block_template_8 .sp-countdown-wrapper .team-logo {
    	display: none;
    }

    “One last thing, is it possible to hide “zeros” from the collumns without 0 value in the table?”
    We can hide some columns, but we can’t dettect their values, unfortunately. If the same column is going to have a zero value that would be an easy task. Could you confirm if that’s the case for you?

    Thanks!
