Is there a way or maybe this needs to be in suggestions to add points to a player for a league manually?
What I mean is this...
My league has been running since the beginning of the year and we go year long. The players already have established points for previous tournaments. I know by adding the formula they will start getting points but is there a way to manually put in the points they already have and then create a screen for it displaying the top 10 in points?
You can adjust anyone's points in a particular tournament, so you can, in your next tournament, edit each player on the Players tab and set their current points in the "Adjust points by:" field. So, for example, if player "John" has thus far earned 100 points, set the "Adjust points by:" field to 100.
But I think the best way to fix this is to simply load each of your previously saved tournaments, set the Points for Playing formula, and then re-save the tournament. Changing the formula will cause the points to be recalculated. When you run stats, the entire tournament is re-evaluated anyway, so now that each tournament has a Points for Playing formula, everyone will be awarded points appropriately.
