Tombor Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Hi Everybody, I was wondering if anyone knew how to sort playoff teams by record rather than division champion? My experience--or inexperience--led the USFL hack to have three divisions of three teams each. While scheduling keeps the original league's integrity--two divisions--I sometimes find that a club gets a bye because they won the "middle" division despite another team having a better record. I've played around with the code that determines division champs and wild card teams before, but I haven't had any success. Anybody know how to get the rom to sort based on best record?

bruddog Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 @Tombor its doable but not a simple fix. This would be a complex hack that requires re-writing the playoff logic. And possibly the memory structure for saving the playoff teams Tombor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombor Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Thank you for the explanation, that aligns with my experience playing around with it. I would guess eliminating the third wild card winner--having it recognize only two division champs, sorting the third best team--would be of similar complexity? That seems to be the issue--i.e., Tampa Bay (sitting in the NFC East) finishes 13-5 and gets a bye, but 12-6 Memphis--narratively the second place Southern Division team--gets the other bye because they "finished" first in the NFC Central--where they're placed--over Baltimore, who "wins" the NFC East with a 9-9 record, when Baltimore "should" get the bye from a narrative standpoint. Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
