Okay I love TD. My players do too, but I know Im not using it to its fullest potential. I run a player of the year ranking system in which the top 10 players in the tournaments receive points based on how they finish 1st=10 points, 2nd=9 points, and so on. I cant use the default n-r+1 formula because sometimes I play with 20 players and using that formula would give everyone points. Unless I can manually put points in within the database to keep records of the players, I have no idea how to do that. I go to database and it wont let me edit player points or anything, however, if I go to the players tab, I can strictly for that tournament.
Use the following formula in the
Points for Playing input on the Game tab:
max(0, 11 - r)Also Im trying to change the layout and it will not allow me to change anything except for the title and descritption. How did you guys do it. I click edit properties (say on round for example) and it will not allow me to edit font, width, etc. I know I am probably doing this incorrectly.
Layouts are complicated, that's just how it is (unfortunately). If you cannot edit Font, Alignment, Dimensions, etc, it's probably because the Property Set is using a Global Property Set. A Global Property Set is a Property Set that any Cell can access. This makes it easy to have the same colors, etc, for multiple cells. If you have to make a change, you only have to change it in one place. If you want to, for example, change the font size of the Rounds cell, you'll see that it is using the "Odd Rounds" Global Property Set. Press the Global Properties button on the Layout tab, select "Odd Rounds" and make the change there. You'll see that every cell using that Global Property Set will update with your changes.
Additionally, I love Bills layout but I know I can not do that. Im one of those people that need a step by step instruction guide. I can not do HTML to save my life. Im trying to keep my league stats too as far as who finished where, and who knocked them out and all that but it seems like it saves it for just the present tournament and then I lose it, even though the players are in my database.
Make sure you save each tournament
as its own file. Let's say you've run your first tournament and saved it in a file named "tourney1.tdt". To start your next tournament, load "tourney1.tdt" then press "Save As..." and save it as "tourney2.tdt". Now you have a new tournament, just like the first one, and you haven't written over the first tournament. Now press the "Reset" button to reset the tournament back to the pre-start state. Now make any other changes you need and save the tournament again (just press the "Save" button now).
Each tournament needs to be saved separately in order for Stats to work. Stats basically works by looking in the folder where you save tournaments, finding all tournament files, loading them, and computing statistics. If you save tournament 2 in (over) the same file as tournament 1, you've lost all of the information from tournament 1.
