    scoring system

    Thanks for the great plugin, works better than others I've looked at.

    Your scoring system though is much the same as other such programs. Rather than the simple x for a correct score, y for correct result I'd sooner see a method which rewards the accuracy of prediction.
    For example, if a game result is 3-3, a player who predicted 0-0 often better rewarded than the player who predicted 3-2. This appears wrong to me - the prediction which was 6 goals away should not be seen as "better" than the prediction which was wrong by a single goal.

    My preferred option would be something like ...

    No prediction = 0pts

    Incorrect prediction = 5pts minus (difference between predicted and actual home score)+(difference between predicted and actual away team score)

    Correct prediction = 7pts + Bonus*
    *Bonus: If prediction is correct and (homegoals+awaygoals) >2 a further bonus of (hgoals+agoals)-2 is added.
    (This is to promote more adventurous predictions)

    Written down it looks far more complex than it is!

    Examples;
    result 2-1
    prediction 2-1 = 8 points
    prediction 1-0 = 3 pts
    prediction 1-1 = 4 pts

    result 3-3
    prediction 0-0 = (minus) 1 point
    prediction 3-2 = 4 pts
    prediction 3-3 = 11 pts

    Is it possible to enter a formula rather than an integer into each of the correct/incorrect result/score parameters for a league?

    If it was possible I could create my scoring method that way.

    Hello

    thank you for your kind words, we will consider your request in future release , but this change is possible to be made by changing the core code. The code responsible for the score system is located at <joomla directory>/components/com_multileague/models/standings.php

    in the function getStandings()

    if you decide to make the change by yourself we could help you in some parts.

    I'm no php coder, but I may take a look at getStandings() to see if I can configure a solution.

    (or of course anyone else reading this who likes the idea?)
