Table Tennis rules
Hi, I'm loving your application and would like you to add some table tennis rules to the table tennis tournaments.
What am i requesting is this:
Let's assume we have two stage tournament - Group Stage and Single Elimination second stage.
The group stage is the problem here.
Example:
The groups are round-robin (players play only once between each other).
1. Player 1
2. Player 2
3. Player 3
4. Player 4
1st round :
1. Player 1 - Player 4 (3:0)
2. Player 2 - Player 3 (3:1)
2nd round:
1. Player 1 - Player 3 (3:1)
2. Player 2 - Player 4 (0:3)
3rd round:
1. Player 1 - Player 2 (3:0)
3. Player 3 - Player 4 (3:0)
So we have a tie between 3 players.
Now in your app if you choose tiebreak #2 as game/set win and #3 as points scored the table looks like:
1. Player 1 - 3-0-0 - 9 sets wins
2. Player # (whoever got the most won points)
3. etc.
But in reality the table tennis rule in a case of 3 man tie (or more) excludes the one that has won all the matches.
So it counts only the matches BETWEEN the players tied:
Player
- Player 2 - Player 3 (3:1)
- Player 2 - Player 4 (0:3)
- Player 3 - Player 4 (3:0)
So according to the rules, second in the group would be Player 3
because the game/set wins tiebreaker rule gives him 4 sets won/3 lost
and Player 2 3 sets won/4 lost and Player 4 3 sets won/3 lost.
As well, if there was a tiebreaker #3 (let's say all players were sets 3 won/3 lost) the points ONLY BETWEEN THE PLAYERS TIED count.
So whoever has the most points won against the TIED players, he tops the tied situation. :)
I hope you implement this :) Good luck.
