i personally can't, i have way too much lined up. However if you watch my tutorials and the urban realms tutorials you should have enough knowledge to make the game.

I feel that you should first watch halls tuts then ask for help. your biggest problem will be with the formulas.

Watch the "crons" video. You could actually make all games run at 8pm through them. Just watch all the videos, and by the end, you should have enough experience to make it. While I do have a programming background, I learned enough to make an entirely different kind of game after watching the first 6 videos.

Like jack said you run the crons. And to avoid user interference you can set it up that all users are logged out for the commencing of the daily updates.

Or, what would be even more fun (but would require a ton more coding) would be to just lock the players out of the team-management page before the start of the games, and then have a series of crons go off that calculate the games in "waves". This way, players could refresh their browsers to see their team's progress while the game is running "live", kind of like refreshing on ESPN.com to watch the score of a live game.

I already have my first problem ^ ^

The first thing I did today worked on the league table and they also got ready what was not very difficult. Then I wanted to make the match schedule, but I have no ideas how I should do that(round robin). Maybe someone could give me a help for the beginning
