Step 4
The next step is to increase the number of games in the first round so all teams enter and we can eliminate the number of teams that we want to.
So I need 32 games in the first round rather than 8. I go to the compobj table and I add the extra games like this:
435 | 5 | G8 | | 427 |
436 | 5 | G9 | | 427 |
437 | 5 | G10 | | 427 |
438 | 5 | G11 | | 427 |
All the way down to G32 (game 32).
Go to settings table and you need to add the extra game lines:
433 | num_games | 1 |
434 | num_games | 1 |
435 | num_games | 1 |
436 | num_games | 1 |
437 | num_games | 1 |
For all games that we added to compobj
We need to increase the number of games in the schedule so go to schedule table…
Mine currently has this:
427 | 313 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1945 |
427 | 314 | 1 | 4 | 10 | 1500 |
427 | 315 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 1600 |
Change it to one line so all games are played on the same day and time and increase the number of games so that all 32 games can be played:
Go to standings table and you need to add a standing 0 and 1 for each of the new games like this:
We also need to advance the teams from the draw into these new games. To do this go to the advancement table.
I am removing the lines that currently start with the draw (mine is 426).
I am now inserting 64 new lines. The first column for the new 64 lines should be my compobj ref for the draw stage (426). The second column is the slot number 1-64 for my slots in the draw.
I need to add to the third column the compobj reference for the game number they are put into:
The fourth column is the position in the match (1 or 2 / home or away).
Mine now looks like this:
426 | 1 | 428 | 1 |
426 | 2 | 428 | 2 |
426 | 3 | 429 | 1 |
426 | 4 | 429 | 2 |
426 | 5 | 430 | 1 |
426 | 6 | 430 | 2 |
426 | 7 | 431 | 1 |
426 | 8 | 431 | 2 |
426 | 9 | 432 | 1 |
426 | 10 | 432 | 2 |
426 | 11 | 433 | 1 |
426 | 12 | 433 | 2 |
426 | 13 | 434 | 1 |
426 | 14 | 434 | 2 |
426 | 15 | 435 | 1 |
426 | 16 | 435 | 2 |
…and so on
Now we save, import the compdata and test again!
We are only testing round 1 for now. You should see the tournament appear and have more games now.
