Penalty shootout results not counted in standings #1

Open blackmage37 opened 4 years ago

blackmage37 commented 4 years ago

I posted about the issue on the NSS discord. When scorinating Association Football matches and you leave "Allow draws" unchecked, any match that goes to a penalty shootout is not counted as a win for the winning side or a loss for the losing side. It also awards points to every team involved in a shootout, regardless of whether they won or lost, points equal to that of a draw as if they had drawn.

Scorination

I searched the Scorinator thread on NSS on NationStates and found a user bringing up a similar issue and asking if there was a fix for it, to which Commerce Heights respond that there not one at the moment. However, this post was from July 2014. So I don't know if that has any bearing on this issue now or not. Thanks for looking into this!

at a glance, I would say this is working as intended, and should probably be labelled as an enhancement; the reasoning being that matches that go to extra time and/or penalties are counted as draws by most authorities IRL.

to do otherwise here will require the addition of a new option in the UI along the lines of "count shootout results as draws" which would then allow us to either maintain the current logic (true) or implement a different logic that parses out the actual winner of the shootout (false)
