Templates, Layouts and Sounds / Assistance with the pointsforplaying token
« on: December 29, 2006, 07:29:54 PM »
Happy holidays all!! After using a version of TD back in the 1.x days, I recently rediscovered it, and bought the 2.2 version for use in an upcoming league. (GREAT product Corey!! Well worth the price!!)

I've got a question about the display of league points. Some previous posts have somewhat answered my questions, but I still have a few.

Some setup. Our league has decided that for 2007, when a player buys in, they have the option to toss in an additional $2 to earn points for that game in addition to the cash that's up that evening. A player can still play in our game for the night without this extra $2, but they'll simply earn no points.

To that end, I setup TD with a buy-in value of $22, and a per player rake of $2. When we buy a player in and they choose to play for points, we're all set. If a player doesn't want to play for the points, we change the buy-in to $20 with no rake. I built our points formula with as :

if(tr=2,{actual points formula still in discussion},0)

This works perfectly in mock tourneys that I've run so far.

While working on layouts, I decided to show two things, and here's where my questions come in.

1. Pre-tournament, show a list of the current point totals a player would win per final position. From my reading, it seemed like the pointsforplaying token would accomplish this. Our points formula is going to be position based only, with no bonuses, so the calculation should be right on.

However, I am unable to get this token to display anything but '0.00' for every position, regardless of what tournament state I try to view it in.

2. Post-tournament, I wanted to have two sections. First would be the normal cell showing cash prizes, and the second would be a list of all players who participated and their earned points for that tournament only. I am not having any success showing the totals earned for anyone.

And to summarize, the points displayed on the player rankings screen are correct under all circumstances.

So, my questions.

1. Could someone provide some help in the proper usage of the pointsforplaying token to display this data, if what I'm trying to do is possible?
2. Some of what I've read leans me toward thinking that a complete list of earned points won't be possible until the extended rankings token comes in. Am I correct in stating that I can't do this now, or is there a way I haven't come across yet?

Thanks for the help in advance!!
