• Hi all,

    I try to setup Tennis team format.
    Basically it’s like the tennis Davis Cup format :
    1 team = 5 players
    1 event = 5 tennis matchs = 4 simple (player vs player) + 1 double (2p vs 2p)

    Championship tournament start with “group round” 4 to 5 teams in the same group, and then continue by direct elimination events.
    Each time an event is 5 tennis matchs.

    I try to setup Sportspress for this format but :
    I can’t have match result and team result on the same event. I mean I can’t have player vs player result for each match of an event and then the team score for each event.

    If someone can help me in this setting or give me coding sample to do it.

    Thank you.

    Furthermore, a double tennis match is also something like a team of 2 players…
    I would like to know which players have played the double.

    Hi!

    Thanks for reaching out!

    In your case you have 2 options:
    1) The easiest, create one championship for each of the matches and a parent championship for the competition itself. This way you can add single and double events for that championship-day and still take them into account for the main one (parent)

    2) Ignore that these are multiple matches inside of a event and add them all as player stats / results. So most of your data will be lost, but the outcome of the team vs team faceoff will still be recorded.

    Hi,

    Thank for your answer.
    I try to setup solution 1… not so easy to understand.

    If I understand correctly solution 1 will look like this :

    ————————-
    My competition
    – Adults
    — Women
    — Group A
    —- Simple
    —- Double
    — Group B
    —- Simple
    —- Double
    — Group C
    —- Simple
    —- Double
    — Men
    — Group A
    —- Simple
    —- Double
    — Group B
    —- Simple
    —- Double
    — Group C
    —- Simple
    —- Double
    ————————-

    * Is this ok ?

    If yes, I need to use “matchday” parameter. I don’t really understand how it works.
    Please help… I try different tests without success.

    * Do I need to use “player vs player” in that case ? (For the moment I use team vs team)

    * I don’t know who will play the match in advance. It could change just before the match.
    Could I create event without player and add it when I get the results ?
    Is it better to create only team vs team event, and add match player vs player when I get results ?

    * Next step will be to display calendar for each team/global, detail result of a team competition day…

    Furthermore, I have to manage 12 local teams (my club) > 12×5 tennis matchs = 60 matches per week-end.

    > So I need to create 60 Events per week-end !!! One event per match !

    5 “group rounds” (5 week-end) before the 2 bests per group are going to elimination round.
    And there are 5 teams per groups, so 15×5 = 60 teams.

    Lot of data to add into the system…

    Thank you for your help.

    PS : Sorry, I don’t know if I translate correctly the “group round”.

    At the end I would like a team week-end event resume like this :

    Hi!

    Thanks for your reply!

    The Competition would be more like this:
    Competition
    > Adults
    > > Women
    > > > Group A
    > > > > Match 1
    then you’ll add the 5 matches with this competition (4 singles, 1 double)
    > > > > Match 2

    > > > > Match N

    and carry on for the others. Each match will have its own competition.

    “* Do I need to use “player vs player” in that case ? (For the moment I use team vs team)”
    You’ll need to use team vs team for this one, otherwise you won’t be able to add the double matches

    “* I don’t know who will play the match in advance. It could change just before the match.
    Could I create event without player and add it when I get the results ?”
    I’m not sure if this is possible unless the teams are fixed (for example you add a match for team A vs Team B and afterwards you add the players inside of the match data)

    “* Next step will be to display calendar for each team/global, detail result of a team competition day…”
    This would probably require some custom code. We do have the matches on the team page but I’m not sure if this is going to be as you wanted

    “> So I need to create 60 Events per week-end !!! One event per match !”
    Yes, that is correct.

    “Lot of data to add into the system…”
    You do have a lot of data, so you’ll need to add it. Unfortunately the system (and any system) needs the correct data to work with.

    In your case I believe it’s very feasible to have some custom code to automate parts of it, or adjust the system to make it more friendly for your goals.

    But keep in mind that we have sportspress for free, so it has its limitations 🙂

    After tryout, it seems too much complicated for me.
    I will wait for upgrade when event could manage multiple matchs at the same time, for the same team.

    Please try to keep in mind my need “tennis team format (like Devis Cup)” for futur feature !

    Hi!

    Thanks for your message!

    This will probably require a bit of custom code, but you may want to add it in our ideaboard:
