Calculate places based on stats entered

@GTWeaselMay 11.2007

It’s math so I know it can be done, I’m just not sure how.

You can see the script I have now here:
~~[URL=”http://volstatecup.bravehost.com/groupA.js”]~~http://volstatecup.bravehost.com/groupA.js[/URL]

Right now I would have to manually adjust the table rows so that each team is in the right spot. What I want my script to do is calculate the places for me.

First place is the team with the most points (pts#). If there is a tie, largest goal difference (gd#) wins. If there is still a tie, most goals for (gf#) wins.

Once I figure out how to rank the teams I’ll have the first place team info switched to A (e.g., var ptsA = pts2), and then I’ll change the vars in the output section.

I’m tired and I hope this makes sense to someone that’s willing to help.

Thanks in advance,
GTWeasel

@JMRKERMay 11.2007 — #Did your script work as submitted?

It didn't work for me, but I changed it as follows.

NOTE: It still does not do what you asked, but at least you can see some results.

I will work on it some more, but in the meantime do you have any real test data.

I understand you plan on editing the numbers manually, but for testing it would be nice to see the data formatted with something other than zeros as in the final version.

@JMRKERMay 12.2007 — #Here's a major modification to your script.

The JSON portion can be put into a separate text file.

(I hope the teams don't get mad at me for the W,L,D values) :rolleyes:

Should automatically change order with stat changes.

Post your final product as it was an interesting challenge.

Good Luck!
