Manual Adjustments

The Adjustments table lets you add or subtract a fixed amount from a team's calculated column value without replacing the automatic calculation entirely.

When to Use Adjustments

Common use cases:

  • Deducting points from a team as a penalty (e.g. a financial fair play breach)

  • Adding bonus points awarded by the competition organizer

  • Correcting a discrepancy caused by a result that was entered incorrectly and has since been voided

Adjustments are additive. If you need to replace a calculated value entirely with a static number, type directly into the Values table cell instead.

Accessing the Adjustments Table

  1. Open the league table edit screen.

  2. In the League Table meta box, two links appear above the table: Values and Adjustments.

  3. Click Adjustments to switch to the adjustments view.

The adjustments table shows the same teams and columns as the values table, but all cells are empty with 0 as placeholder text.

Entering an Adjustment

  1. Find the team row you want to adjust.

  2. Click the cell in the column you want to modify.

  3. Enter a number. Positive numbers add to the calculated value; negative numbers subtract from it.

    • 3 adds three points to the team's calculated total

    • -3 deducts three points

You can enter adjustments for multiple teams and multiple columns at the same time.

  1. Click Update to save.

How Adjustments Interact with Calculated Values

When the table is rendered — in the admin Values view or on the frontend — the adjustment for each cell is added to the equation result for that team and column. The result is formatted to the column's configured precision.

Adjustments apply to all equation-based columns. They do not apply to columns using the special preset equations $streak, $form, $last5, $last10, $gamesback, $homerecord, or $awayrecord.

Verifying the Result

After clicking Update, switch back to the Values tab. The greyed-out placeholder values reflect the adjusted totals. The frontend table also reflects the adjustments immediately after saving.

Removing an Adjustment

Return to the Adjustments view, clear the value in the cell (leave it blank or enter 0), and click Update.
