Fixtures and Standings
The Fixtures and Standings window enables you to see at a glance the current standings of a league, and see the fixtures for both the current season and, if you have the Final Standings report from the league, generate the following season schedule. You are also able from here, to export both fixture lists and standings tables as csv files.
|
| The Fixtures and Standings window |
The main area of the Fixtures and Standings window is the display where both the fixtures and standings are shown. Above and below this are the various options for changing views and setting the data.
 |
| Generating Fixtures |
To be able to use the Fixtures and Standings window you will first have to generate
a schedule for gp_vcon to use. This can only be done using the Final Standings report
from the last regular week of the previous season. For example, to generate the
schedule for the 2003 season, you will need the Final Standings report for the 2002
season for that league.
With this report loaded you will see the Generate button is enabled. By clicking
on this, the following seasons schedule will be created. If you already have already
generated that season previously, you will be warned that doing this again will
lose any results that have been stored.

| The Fixtures |
Once the schedule has been generated you are able to view the fixtures for each week of the following season.
 |
| Updating Results |
By loading in a regular season report for a season that you have previously generated schedules for, you will be able to add the game results by clicking on the Update button that will be enabled. The Update button is only enabled if you have the currently loaded week still to enter into the fixture list. Once the results are updated, the Update button will be unavailable.
 |
| A change of team name |
It is sometimes the case that a team changes names during the post/off-season, and so, by week 1 of the following season, the fixture list that was previously generated with the standings from the season before will need updating to the correct team names. gp_vcon will attempt to verify this on loading a report, and if it feels a team has changed names you will be asked if you want to fix this. It is advised you accept the change.
 |
| Fixtures with Results |
Once the results are loaded you will be able to see them in the fixture list.
 |
| Changing the view |
To switch between the Fixtures and the Standings views, the menus in the top left of the window are used. This is where you can also change the current week to any week of the regular season.
 |
| The Standings |
The Standings display shows the standings for the league in the chosen week of the season.
 |
| The season |
To switch between the current season and the next season, the menu in the top right of the window is used. The "current" season is dependent on the report that is currently loaded, so if you were to load a report of the 2002 season, that would be the current season, with 2003 being the next one, and having a report of the 2003 season loaded would mean the next season would be 2004, and so on.
 |
| Exporting to csv |
Finally, the Fixtures and Standings buttons at the bottom left of the window are to allow you to export the relevant information to csv files. For Fixtures, the whole season is exported to a single file. For the Standings, only the currently selected week is exported, so ensure you have the week you want when you choose to save the Standings.
