Build {version 4.5} 'Pinch Hitter Cricsim' is live!.. *create and manage persistent, multi-match competitions*

[Till Valhalla]

I thought about adding stadium, but it actually don't make any difference in the simulation, so i leave that thought behind... Currently I am working on even more exciting features called Leagues ... I want to create something which I wanted to have during World of Cricket...

I want to suggest something like Cricket coach where you can simulate a whole season of a domestic leagues

Version 4.5 of 'Pinch Hitter Cricsim' is live!

Added new LEAGUES tab, allowing you to create and manage persistent, multi-match competitions beyond single exhibition games.

1. Creation: You begin by clicking the + Create New League button. This opens a modal where you define the competition's core rules:
   
   • Name & Format: You give your competition a unique name and choose whether the matches will be 20 Overs or 50 Overs.
   • Competition Type:This is the most important choice, with three options:
     
     • Series: A simple head-to-head competition between two teams over a set number of matches.
     • League: A round-robin format where teams play each other. You can decide if the winner is the team at the top of the points table or if the top teams advance to a Knockout Stage or an IPL-style Play-off.
     • Tournament: A cup-style competition. You can choose a straight Single Elimination bracket or a Group Stage + Knockouts format, where teams first play in groups and the top performers advance.
2. Team Selection: After setting the rules, you are taken to a dedicated team selection screen. Here, you can use drag-and-drop or double-click to move teams from your "Available Teams" list into the competition. If your format uses groups, you can assign teams to specific groups on this screen.
3. Generation & Management: Once you've selected the required number of teams, you click Generate League. The simulator then automatically creates all the necessary components for your competition:
   
   • A full fixture list of all the matches to be played.
   • Points tables for each group or for the main league.
   • A visual knockout bracket for tournaments and playoff leagues.
4. Playing Matches: The main league page will now show a Next Match button. Clicking this takes you to the MATCHDAYtab with the correct two teams already loaded and the match format locked. After you simulate the match and click "Save & Download", the system automatically:
   
   • Updates the fixture list with the winner, loser, and result.
   • Updates the points tables with points and Net Run Rate (NRR).
   • Advances the winning team in the knockout bracket.
   • Updates the leaderboards for Most Runs, Most Wickets, and MVP.
   • Sets up the "Next Match" button for the next game in the schedule.

Home Advantage Button, this feature is located in the MATCHDAY tab and adds a layer of realism to your matches.

• Purpose: The "Home" dropdown menu allows you to give a slight statistical advantage to Team 1 to simulate the effect of playing in front of a supportive home crowd.

---

The STATS tab has been significantly upgraded to provide more organized and meaningful statistics. The key change is the separation of data into two distinct sub-tabs:

1. Exhibition Matches: This section now exclusively tracks stats from one-off friendly matches that you play through the MATCHDAY tab. Any league or tournament matches are completely ignored here.
2. League Matches:This is the powerful new addition. It allows you to analyze the statistics from your competitions separately from your friendly matches.
   
   • League Selection: A dropdown menu lets you choose any league or tournament you have created.
   • Specific Stats: Once you select a league, it displays detailed batting and bowling stats for all players, but only for the matches played within that specific competition.
   • Team Filtering: You can use a second dropdown to filter the stats and see players from just one team within that league.
   • Downloading: The "Download Stats" button in this section will save a formatted .txt file of the currently filtered data (e.g., stats for just one team in one specific league).

Great turnaround time on this added extras and bug fixes. Keep up the great work!

*Note: If you are using the Leagues feature for your leagues or stories, run a full trial from match 1 to the final to ensure everything works smoothly... While the AI has tested it multiple times, a manual check is still recommended...

Just a question with this update, say you run a full season, does it let you progress with the same league for the next season so that it keeps the overall stats but also starts stats for the new season?

No it is one season at a time... No next season option...
But calculating overall stats of multiple seasons can be achievable... 1. We can give all team stats of 2 or more seasons to ChatGPT and tell that to calculate or 2. We can create feature to calculate multiple seasons overall stats...
