    Tip:For Team players on Player settings page we have assigned a role for each Team player

  3. For Goalies we created non composite Sum type items: SA, SV, GA without assigning it to any parent item
  4. The SV% item is non composite but countable item - result of dividing SV into SA and without assigning it to any parent item

  5. So on Match page the Box Stats for Goalies has the following view

  6. For Skaters we created non composite Sum type items:G, A, +/-, S, PIM, H, BS, TA, GA without assigning it to any parent item
  7. For Skaters we also created Composite item Faceoffs
  8. And assigned it as parent item for non composite Sum type items FL(Faceoffs lost) and FW (Faceoffs lost)
  9. For creating Countable item FW% (Faceoffs win percentage) first we need to create Faceoffs total countable item - as sum of FL and FW

    NOTE

    We made it invisible on front-end so this item will not be displayed

  10. FW% that is the result of FW/Faceoffs total, so Skaters Box Score stats has the following view on Match page:
