You're correct about that, the only way would be to input the number of minutes each goalie played and do a relatively simple division problem (though, I will not admit to being a math genius.) Yeah, it is a little problematic, but you gotta start somewhere.

The other option, which some might prefer, would be to just seperate the two divisions.

Working on this option now.

Cool, I'm hoping that you then take my first suggestion and still include the inter-division games with a "A - UC Santa Barbara" or "B - UC San Diego" on both listings.

Also, to highlight inter-conference games would also be handy. I'd recommend another column that would have "UMLL" for intra-conference games and "WCLL/RMLC" for inter-conference games.

Thanks!

Sorry Monkey Man but your idea won't work. A math equation doesn't translate to real-life situations. Two goalies who split halves do not record five goals allowed each if the team gives up 10, except of course if the two goalies actually DO record five goals allowed apiece -- the opponent scores five goals in each the first and second half. You would actually have to record the time on the clock each goalie was susbstituted for (and perhaps even subbed back into the game himself later) and compare this with the time each opposing teams' goals were recorded being scored. More chores that are beyond the ability of many of our volunteer MDIA table crews to do competently, accurately and competely, at least at present.

^This idea wouldn't be that hard to figure out, just look at baseball ERA's they are basically the same thing that you are looking at.

[Timbalaned]

yeah not that hard to figure out, but to get the input it is. This isn't the MLB where people are paid to sit there and count pitches and know exactly when a person comes in and out. To ask a coach/team to record when exactly a goalie is coming in and out of the game is hard. There is enough of a problem making sure they get the right number of saves down as it is.

The scores page now has links to the various, individual team pages.

nice work, this will be very helpful. thanks all

it may require extra details on the stat line, and we may not have the staff to do it, but it is easy to compute, say goalie A played for 45 min (of 60) and gave up 3 goals:

3/x = 45/60
with cross multipication
180 = 45x

x = 4 GAA (for goalie A)

and goalie B played for 15 min and gave up 2 goals

2/x = 15/60
120=15x

x = 8 GAA (for goalie B)

[Ravaging Beast]

Goalie stats are definately misleading. Some stat keepers count the number of saves. Others count the number of shots and subtract the number of goals. That is incorrect. In order to have a save, the goalie should have to make contact with the ball (body or stick save).

Not sure if this is an error, but if on the scores page you click on the home team, it brings you to the away teams' page.

Just pointing that out.

Another suggestion for this nice new addition -
Can the winning team be put in BOLD type? It'd be a lot easier to scan the list.

That has been corrected.

We have update the SCORES page to make the winning team bolded with a slightly larger font. The readability of the page should be much better now.

Will there eventually be individual player statistics along with just scores to games? I guess that each team will have to update the statistics for its players when and if that happens.
