Additional Notes

edit

There is no need to bold the name of the winning team and the score as that task is automatically performed through the template.

The inclusion of the recap# parameter, where # is equal to the game number, overrides the corresponding time# for the same game.

If the series ends before 7 games have occurred, the remaining parameters may be left out and the result will be the absence of those unnecessary games in the table. Leaving date#, where # is equal to the game number, will remove that line from the template.

To switch who has home court for any game, enter the parameter home#, where # is equal to the game number. Then, the parameter just needs to be set equal to the team number that has home court for the given game.

So, for example, in the current NBA finals format where the higher team has home court for games 1, 2, 6 and 7 and the lower team has home court for games 3, 4 and 5, one would simply set home5 to 2, and home6 to 1.

Also, any of the following parameters are also completely optional:

  • bg1, bg2
  • stadium1, stadium2
  • time1, time2, time3, time4, time5, time6, time7
  • recap1, recap2, recap3, recap4, recap5, recap6, recap7
