Optional Settings

League Details - Team Names
* If you enter the team names in your FC, OD, BT20 leagues, then these will be displayed on the schedule page.
* If you don't enter the team names, then the schedule page will just show 'Team 1', 'Team 2' etc.

League Details - Rank
* If you enter a ranking for teams in your FC, OD, BT20 leagues, then the schedule page will show matches against higher ranked teams in Red and matches against lower ranked teams in Green.
* If you enter ranks, then your Predicted Finish will appear on the Data Entry page.
* You can enter national rank or world rank as displayed on team pavilion pages, or you can enter your own rankings.
* It is not a good idea to use national rank in BT20, as this could give incorrect Red/Green predictions.
* If you don't enter ranks, then the schedule page will base the ranks on the starting positions. (eg Team 1 will be ranked #1, Team 2 will be ranked #2 etc)
* You can enter the word 'Bot' for bot teams.

League Details - Country
* If you enter a country for teams in your BT20 leagues, then the schedule page will show the starting time for all matches.
* If you don't enter countries, then starting times will not be displayed.
* If you are going to enter countries, only use these abbreviations:

AUS - ENG - IND - NZ - PAK - SA - SL - WI
AFG - BAN - CAN - IRE - KEN - NL - PNG - SCO - USA - ZIM

Ground Details
* If you enter the size of your stadium, then the schedule page will show approximate gate takings for each week, based on home and away matches in that week.
* The gate takings are not meant to be accurate. They are just displayed to allow you to identify weeks where you may have high, average or no income.

Attendance Weightings
* The gate takings displayed on the schedule page assume that you are filling your ground for OD games.
* If you are not filling your ground for OD games, then you change the attendance weighting accordingly. (eg if your stadium holds 10,000 and your attendance is 7,500, then adjust this weighting to 75%)
* FC and BT20 attendance is calculated as a percentage of your OD attendance. Over the last five seasons, my average income for a FC match has been 139% of an average OD game, whilst the average income from a BT20 match has been 32% of an average OD game. If you find that your ratios are different, then you can adjust these to suit.
