glensmad Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I notice the new layout of the West Region website appears to have a flaw in the league tables. Where teams are level on points, goal difference and goals scored, everybody knows that the league placings are decided alphabetically. However, in the Super Premier League they have Kilwinning above Cumnock, despite them both losing 0-2. In Super League Division One, they have Yoker and Shettleston above Irvine Vics and Kilsyth, who all drew their opening games 2-2. In Central Division One, they have Rossvale above Cambuslang Rangers, despite them both winning 3-2, and similarly Lesmahagow above Bellshill despite them both losing 2-3. In the Central Division Two, they have Vale of Leven above Dunipace, and East Kilbride above Ashfield. I know this will not be a big issue as the season goes on because it's unlikely teams will be exactly equal very regularly, but it is strange. During the Sectional League Cup, they had Rutherglen Glencairn above Cambuslang going into the final games despite our records being exactly equal. Perhaps some tweaking of the software is required, but it's best to note that the league tables are all incorrect, apart from the Ayrshire District League which doesn't have any teams equal.

Marshmallo Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 This would suggest someone is inputting it manually rather than basic Excel. Some boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-german exile Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 League placings are NEVER decided alphabetically. Equal teams may be listed alphabetically, but that's just semantics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 League placings are NEVER decided alphabetically. Equal teams may be listed alphabetically, but that's just semantics. Sorry, but it's nonsense to say that league placings are never (in unnecessary capitals or not) decided alphabetically. When teams have been level on points, goal difference and goals scored, then alphabetically has been the deciding factor for as long as I can remember. It does not decide who wins the league, of course, but mid-season it has been the way it has always decided for every league table I've seen.

Shannon Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Anyone else find it a pain in the arse to copy tables and fixtures from West Region website since the change now? Any tips on doing this more easily? Really annoying for updating website and programmes etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different if leagues are decided by the beaks in the way they show the tables but if it comes to the last day of the season and to title / relegation crunch then teams will know exactly where they stand.

Yeh I know, it's not really a big issue, but it's a flaw in the new website system that means the league tables that people copy and paste are not correct.

Does it really detract from your understanding of the tables?There is so much wrong with the sjfa website update that stop fans accessing info they need that random ordering of teams in the table after one game is the least of its problems.

I wouldn't disagree with that, to be fair. The website was fine as it was, but it's now much slower to use and its layout is like a dog's dinner.
