duplicate fixtures in a one match cup

[budakkuno]

Hello. So I was trying to edit someone else's database to fix their error in Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup. The way it works is that it takes top Malaysian league against winner of Malaysia Cup—and the most important part is that this one fixture counts as league point meaning that whoever wins it will get 3 points in league and also win the cup. The problem with the database I was editing is that it doesn't do that and I'm trying to edit to make it work, however even after copying the default FM database's layout of the cup, it still doesn't work. As I've been dabbling with it, it seems that I have two issues.

 

• There is two fixtures as attached below(the default database would only play the second one as Malaysia Super League/Sumbangsih Cup)

• The winner isn't recorded. Whoever wins the one match, points will be added/deducted accordingly into the league but when you go to the cup overview—it'll say that the cup is still in progress, the fixture hasn't been played(there's also no date for the fixture if you go to matches section of the cup), and winner isn't recorded.

So how do I fix the problem? Would appreciate any help. As I said earlier, I tried copying the default database layout and what seems odd to me is that there is two stages as shown below when there should only be one. I tried copying it but it still doesn't work. I attached the file in case anyone is willing to take a look. Thank you.

I'm guessing that's some hard-coding from SI. You can do it the way you described, but you'd do it with just one stage (just the cup as normal with normal cup rankings), and then I think in "other league stage flags" you send the results to the other competition. Then in the league itself, you "get fixtures from other stage" with max 1 from the Sumbangsih Cup. I'm guessing you'd also have to add 3 points for extra-time win and 3 points for penalty win to the league settings in case a team wins it that way. I don't have time now but can take a look later if you need a hand
