Mr Rich UK Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hi there, I run a site where people play sports games against each other. Now I've been looking to create a system which updates standings automatically and I think I am getting close, but I just needed a little help to get over a few problems. I'm guessing it's sensible to separate the data into two tables, first one probably containing the following, let's call it 'madden_teams' team_id, team_name then have a table for the results, which we'll call 'madden_results' result_id, away_team, away_score, home_team, home_score, week I know this has something to do with joins, and I have looked into it, but I am confused by how you can use the recognition over how one result is larger than the other to get the standings. So onto the query I need to do. Obviously I'm going to have to do something like: SELECT team_name, Sum(W), Sum(L), Sum (D) To get my wins and losses, but how would I go about trying to build the rest of the query to show wins and losses correctly for each team? I feel like I'm stepping up a level here and I don't really understand how you can do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
