BYE Weeks and OBBLM--single game league results removal
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 3:37 pm
Hi all,
My league uses Bye weeks whenever we have an odd number of players--if a player does not have a match in a particular week, they have a Bye week like in pro sports--it's a week off, so their MNG injuries heal.
Since there doesn't seem to be a way to manually cancel an MNG, I've been logging all the BYE matches as 0-0 ties. Our points formula is:
//Rule #5
$hrs[5]['rule'] = array('-pts', '-td', '-cas'); // Sort teams against: most points, then most TDs and then most casualties.
$hrs[5]['points'] = '5*[won] + 3*[draw] + 1*[lost] - 1*[smp]'; // The definition of points.
So since I made Sportsmanship Points negative, I can just give both the players in the BYE match 3 SMP, and their overall points standings in league do not change.
The only problem is the tie still comes up as part of the record. So a player that has 2 wins, one loss and has already had their Bye shows up on the "league table" as 2-1-1 at 11 points. I'm just curious if there's a way to make the Bye matches not show up at all in the overall records, so in the above example it'd be 2-1-0 (beacuse the Bye doesn't really count).
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
