Okay, this one is tricky because it’s unique, but here’s how to do it.
First the basics:
o Each team is in ONE league
o Each League is in ONE sport
o Each Sport’s standings are calculated in ONE way
o Each Sport’s standings are displayed in ONE layout & format
Now, the plugin is designed to support ‘normal’ standings with a league (NFL) perhaps with conferences (AFC, NFC) and divisions within conferences (NFC East, West, North South, etc). By ‘normal’ I mean that conference and/or division standings are computed based on ALL league games (because this is what makes sense, otherwise the non-conference or non-division games are exhibitions or friendlies; really non-league games).
You essentially have one league with two division – men and women. And that would be a piece of cake, EXCEPT you want the division standings to be calculated and displayed based on the division games only, and you want the league standings to be calculated and display all league games. The league don’t really count, it’s ‘just for fun’ or comparison. Phew!!
Looking back to the basics, if you want the league standings to be calculated and displayed differently than the division standings, they have to be in different sports. (That’s weird!) Here’s what worked for me (But I believe there are a couple of ways to get the results you want.):
Create 3 leagues – mens, womens, and all, say – and put them in three separate sports – Boys Tennis, Girls Tennis, and Tennis, say. The mens teams in both the mens and all leagues. Put the womens teams in the womens and all leagues. Put the mens games in the mens league, marking them a conference games, the womens games in the womens league marking them a conference games, and the mixed games in the all league, not marking them a conference games.
Now set up the standings for the mens and womens leagues (Settings screen) to be computed based on CONFERENCE games (win %) or whatever, and display the conference records, win %, points, whatever. Create the standings for the all league to be based on the overall records, %, etc.
Display the three standings tables using the normal shortcode with the appropriate league and season.
I think you can figure it out from there, but let me know. I can post some screenshots from my dev box if necessary.
