Help Me / Export Tournament Results as HTML
« on: July 22, 2015, 01:00:23 AM »
I know I use to be able to export the tournament results to an HTML file, but I do not see it anymore.  I thought I use to go to the Game tab and hit export, but there is no option for HTML.  Has it been moved?

Looks good to me, but for those not too familiar with the formula system, that last comma will cause an error:

switch(r, 1, 100, 2, 75, 3, 63, 4, 55, 5, 50, 6, 45, 7, 40, 8, 35, 9, 30, 10, 25,)

So just remove it:

switch(r, 1, 100, 2, 75, 3, 63, 4, 55, 5, 50, 6, 45, 7, 40, 8, 35, 9, 30, 10, 25)
Is there a way to have it remove the lowest score when do the standings?  We are playing 11 tournaments with only the top 10 results counting in the standings.

Help Me / Re: Prize Changing
« on: March 21, 2013, 07:18:04 PM »
I have a template I use for the prizes, we use it every tournament and never had a problem with TD 2.  I really don't understand why it would just change when someone is knocked out repeatedly???? I don't really understand what you guys were trying to say either.

Will this be fixed in the future?

Help Me / Prize Changing

So found another problem...

Everytime someone got knocked out of the tournament this past weekend, the prize list would change and go from the template I was using to saying there was 6 payouts.

Any idea why?  I Had to fix it everytime someone was knocked out.

I sure can take a look at it for you. Tell your buddy to search ONLY first OR last name, not both. Unless you have 1000s of names, going by one or the other should show results on one screen, or at worst a small scroll to check and enter. Should always use add player.

Send it to me at michael.brinkley@hotmail.com and I can fix it up for you. I've got plenty of time to kill tonight :)
I have the latest.  Will send it right now.

Thanks so much, really appreciate it.  Will have him read this post again.

The question is, how are you getting duplicates?  At buy-in or tournament setup are you entering new players that are already in the database?  Doesn't the software warn you that there is already a player with the same name?  Or are you entering different names for the same people that are already in the database?  Are you importing players from a file?  The software should also warn you at that time that the players have the same names as players already in your database.

Because now I have multiple players in the standings listed twice AND they are already listed as being merged.

What do you mean "they are already listed as being merged"?

There are a couple of methods for eliminating duplicate players, but it will depend on what information in the database is important to you.  The player database serves 3 purposes, mainly: (1) as a place to store player personal information (address, phone, email, etc; items beyond their name); (2) as a way to uniquely identify players and collate them across saved tournaments; and (3) as a means to divide players into leagues and divide tournaments into seasons.

If you don't mind losing that personal player information, you can easily (well, sort of easily) rebuild a database by deleting all of the players in the database and loading each of your saved tournaments and adding the players to the database or merging them with existing players.

Magic_fubu's answer is a really succinct way of putting it, and is what I would recommend.  To give a concrete example, let's say you have 3 players in your database named "Joe", but they all represent the same player, so you need to eliminate two of them as duplicates.

(1) Pick the "best" Joe in the database.  That is, pick the one with the most up-to-date personal information.  If it doesn't matter, then pick one at random.  Delete the other two.
(2) Load your first tournament.  Go to the Players tab.  See the players listed italics?  Those were players you deleted from the database.  That is, those were "attached" to the wrong database player.  Press the Merge Players button (or, on version 3, press the Database button and then press Merge players in your current tournament...).
(3) This allows you to match each italicized player with the corresponding player in the database.
(4) Save the tournament.  Repeat with all saved tournaments.

Instead of doing this one player at a time, in step 1 delete ALL of your duplicate players, leaving only one of each player in the player database.  In step 2, merge ALL italicized players.

Once you've made one pass through all of your saved tournaments, you should be done.  Make a backup.

Wow, is this as confusing as it sounds?

I really have no clue why this keeps happening.  If I sent you the league database, would you be able to look at it and tell us why it happened so we make sure it doesn't happen again?  

I'll back it up right now and try what you said to see if that helps.

Just spoke to my friend who ran the tournaments and had him read this post.  He said:

"i had to add alot of people since they werent in the database thats why they came up again i used "new player" "

When you register people, are you using "new player" or "add player"? If new, that would be the issue right there. Only thing I can think of off hand.

I am not sure.  Is there a way to merge them all together tho?

I don't know why but we are always having duplicate players in out database.   Just purchased and upgraded to the newer version hoping this would fix the problem, but it seems to have only gotten worse.  Because now I have multiple players in the standings listed twice AND they are already listed as being merged.  I can't find anyway to merge them or fix this.

Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix this?

Help Me / Computer Crashed, Restoring from Tourny Files?
« on: May 04, 2011, 08:24:00 PM »
Well, unfortunately my computer crashed a couple weeks ago and I lost most of my League Files...

What I do have however, is the 6 tournament files from this current season.  I can load each game without a problem, but the players are not showing up in the database and when I go the stats screen I am not seeing the standings for the year. 

On the game menu I do have league set to our league name, the season is set to this season.

I am not sure what else I should do to get this working.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

See if this is works for you.   It's a little verbose but I think it's what you've described.

assign("lowRank", ceil(0.8 * n))
assign("upper80", round(8 * (sqrt(n) / sqrt(r)) * (1 + log10(bc + 0.25))))
assign("lower20", round(8 * (sqrt(n) / sqrt(lowRank)) * (1 + log10(bc + 0.25))))
assign("step", (lower20 - 10) / (n - lowRank))
if(r <= lowRank, upper80, 10 + ((n - r) * step))

I think it works fine.  Is there a way to round the bottom numbers tho?  Looks like this:

10
12.83
15.67

Think I got it!  Looks right:

assign("lowRank", ceil(0.8 * n))
assign("upper80", round(8 * (sqrt(n) / sqrt(r)) * (1 + log10(bc + 0.25))))
assign("lower20", round(8 * (sqrt(n) / sqrt(lowRank)) * (1 + log10(bc + 0.25))))
assign("step", (lower20 - 10) / (n - lowRank))
if (r <= lowRank, upper80, 10 + round((n - r) * step))

Just take out the "IF".  As it is, the formula is specifying that the top 80% get the results of the inner formula, while the bottom 20% get 10 points.  Basically, you just want everyone to get the results of the inner formula:

round(8 * (sqrt(n) / sqrt(r)) * (1 + log10(bc + 0.25)))
Me and my friend were talking who run the league about what we want to happen with the bottom 20% of people in the league.

Is it possible to add to the formula that lowest person in gets 10 points.  After that, we want the bottom 20% to go up in an increment to what the formula calls for.

For example, we had a 33 person tournament tonight.  The old formula calls for 27-33 to get 10 points.  What we want in the new formula would be the bottom person gets 10 points.  But now you subtract the last person who got points which is place #26 who got 27 points.   So subtract 27-10 and you have 17 points.  Now divide the 7 people left into 17 and you would get 2.42.  So now the bottom person gets 10, then next to last gets 10+2.42 then the next position would get 12.42+2.42 until you get back to the guy with 27.

I am sure I did not explain this great, but I hope you get the idea of what I am trying to do.

Thanks!

To take out the ten points, I believe that you would take out the 10 in ...(bc+0.25)), 10

But, that's just based upon a quick glance, and looking back at the post made with where you got the formula from. If that doesn't work, respond back and I'll do some testing once I get back to my computer with TD installed on.
I tried that, just taking out the 10 and the bottom people get 0 points. 

Isn't that what you wanted?
No, sorry if I confused everyone. I want the formula to continue to the bottom, not give the bottom few the same amount of points.
