An option to change the points scoring, especially for the draw game

example
Home Win = 1pt
Draw = 2pt
Away Win = 3pt

Thanks

This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
This is something that I will consider doing in 1.x as long as it doesn't require any major architectural changes, otherwise I won't consider it until a major release (like 2.x) where a lot of code refactoring will happen. It is something that I have on the white board, just hadn't added it to the "to do" feature list.
 
Thanks, no problem I am just throwing out ideas based on feedback i'm getting, Having 3 points for an away win adds a bit of extra risk and makes the game a bit more tactical - thanks

makes perfect sense to me and enhances the addon, so I am all for it. Just need to do a lil R&D before committing it to a specific version of the addon.
 
btw, before I get too much deeper, I wanted to make sure it was OK that I am doing this via the POOL management and not Global Options that apply to every pool. I personally think it would be much nicer to be able to set each pool differently than to be stuck with ONE global option for this.

Yes that makes sense , i agree

Another quick question is how you want the results sorted... by number of correct picks, then by points or by points and then the number of correct picks? I could probably make that a per pool option as well as I can see doing it either way.

Sorting by correct picks, then by points would look like this:

Picks | Points
11 | 14.50
11 | 14.00
11 | 13.75
10 | 14.00
9 | 14.50

This way is useful for leagues that value making the correct pick over points, but then use the points to help determine any tie breakers.

I just made it a per Pool Setting (edit the pool and switch at any point).
 
btw, I should have an update by next week :) Points stuff is all done and working like a charm!
 
down to cosmetics, code clean up and TEST TEST TEST before release. If you are interested in beta testing, let me know.
 
sorry for the delay, ran into a an issue that needed to be resolved first and it took awhile to come up with a "decent" solution. Back to track on beta testing. If I can't get any volunteers, I will have to release as beta (which means no immediate bug fixing support for sites that are running it in production).
