MLS conferences - only games between teams in the same conference count

[Mom's_Spaghetti]

Hi, so I'm soing sort of a transplant of Portuguese teams to the MLS, trying to keep rules, drafts and all that jazz, and I wanted to know if there is any way I could have the results only between teams on the same conference count for the specific conference. Most of the file was built through reverse-engineering other people's stuff but i can't find anything like this anywhere.

 

As you can see in the picture I annexed, results between teams on other conferences are being counted towards that specific conference. Is there a way to have only results by teams in the same conference counted?

Also, I have been planning to add rivalry cups, MLS style, and i was wondering if it is possible to make a league game that also doubles as a rivalry cup game go to penalties, but it would still count as a draw for the supporters' shield (this is because teams only play each other once and thus cups would end in a tie too often). Probably a bit too much to ask, but would love to see that.

I've also included the editor file if anyone wants to take a look.

Thanks, and good luck with your edits.

I don't believe you could do that penalties thing, short of having every drawn league game go to penalties "just for fun" (with no point difference in winning or losing the shootout, except in the rivalry cups)

Some use weird tiebreakers like "previous season's champion," there might even be an option not to award it in the event of a tie.

As for inter-conference games, throwing off the MLS code is notoriously finicky, but if there's a separate group settings for each conference, that's where you'd change which fixtures count (as well as telling it the conference only lasts 15-20 games now)

"I don't believe you could do that penalties thing, short of having every drawn league game go to penalties "just for fun" (with no point difference in winning or losing the shootout, except in the rivalry cups)" Thanks for the info, it was more of a wacky idea I had, wanted to see if it was possible at all.

I'll look in there, thanks for your help!
