I'm not sure creating an event to say there is no event is the way to go.

Is it not possible for you to use some sort of logic that if teams are not present then they have a bye week?

I've deleted the events too BTW.

Yeh I don't really like the idea of listing a non existing event.

We already allow Postponed events, maybe just use that tag?

The issue is that Bye round in some sports count as a win (Aussie NRL). so not having the event at all there is no way of knowing if it has happened yet to count it in results tables etc.

Not to worry, ill hard code into my system the byes

Appreciate the removal of the bad fixture.

Ah, I see the problem. I had no idea that was a thing. Why do they get a win from a bye?

Surely every team gets one in the season and if that's the case then they would just cancel each other out.

yup, they do.


I have no idea why they do it. But their Tables and competitions reflect a 'free win'
