Club League
Club League
Embedded Files
To make things interesting, you can have recreational or competitive internal leagues through out your club season.
A sample club league:
- Players are divided into 2 groups (Gold & Silver). The initial division could be random.
- Game scores are entered in the "Club League" section of the app.
- Players get 1 point for every win.
- Club "season" is divided into several "innings". Most common practice is one innings per month.
- Every game day is a new "round". So, if you have 2 game-days per week, you have 2 rounds per week and thus at least 8 rounds per innings (month).
- At the end of a innings, club admin does shuffling: N number (2 or 3 usually) of players from the bottom of Gold group is swapped with N number of players from the top of Silver Group. This keeps the excitement going!
- A new innings is created and the loop continues.

Shuffling: End of current Innings, Start of a new one.
At the end of a innings, super user can start a new one. This would lead to "shuffling", in which N bottom players of Gold group will be swapped with N top players of Silver group. The number of players to shuffle "N" is configurable and the user will be asked to input the same during shuffling.
Make sure that you are on wifi or got reliable data connection while you do this operation.
Settings -> Start new Innings

Enter number of players to be shuffled (3 by default)

New Innings created.
Once the shuffling is completed, new innings is created. Points from previous innings are accumulated in the Season column.
On the next game day, follow the routine: create a new round and enter the game scores. Cycle continues: Innings points add up and at the end of the running innings, go ahead and start a new innings (shuffle the players again)
Understand Shuffling : A complex example!
Understand Shuffling : A complex example!
Lets go through an example to understand the shuffling done at the start of a new innings.
Example case:
- club1 has 4 players each in Gold and Silver groups.
- At the end of an innings (named "forth"), the super user of club1 starts a new innings (named "fifth").
- When asked on the number of players to be shuffled, user selects 2. So, this club will be moving the two bottom players from Gold to Silver and the two top players from Silver will be moved to Gold.
- Let us see how that goes...
Before shuffling
Initial Scenario at the end of "forth" innings is captured here. Look at the "Innings" column:
- George is the top player of Gold group.
- Gita & Susan have 4 points each, but Gita has got a better win percentage (57%)
- Tao & Sindhu top Silver group with 10 points each.
- Li dan is a close 3rd in the list with 9 points. But, he holds a trump card! He has the highest win percentage (60%) among all the players in this club.
- Note: For the highest win percentage to come into play, the player with the highest win % should have played at least a configured number of games in that innings. By default, it is 12 games and can be configured from the Settings screen.
Gita's statistics
Gita edges over Susan in Gold group due to her win% of 57%.
Susan's statistics
Susan has the same point (4) as Gita, but lesser win % of 50%.
Li dan's statistics
Li dan is 3rd in the Silver group list, but he has the highest win %.
Shuffling time!
Super user of club1 starts a new innings from Settings. He selects 2 players to be shuffled. Below is how the app does the shuffling:
- Susan & Bhuvan (bottom 2 of Gold group) are swapped with Tao & Sindhu (top 2 of Silver group).
- Once this initial shuffling is done, app checks if the player with highest win% is now in Silver group. Eligibility has to match (12 games by default).
- In this case, that is Li dan. He has the highest win % of 60%, but he is in Silver group. So, Li is swapped with George (lowest win% in Gold group).
After shuffling
Once the shuffling is done, the new innings "fifth" is started and the club members can continue with their next game day (which will be the first round of the new innings).
On the left, you can note the below:
- Innings points are reset.
- Sindhu, Tao, Li dan & Gita will play games in the Gold group.
- George, Bhuvan, Susan & Ying will play games in the Silver group.
- ...........until the start of the next innings.
