Configuring Equations

To configure your equations go to SportsPress Settings > Configure.

If you chose an existing sports preset, all of the sports configurations for your event outcomes, team results, player performance, table columns, player metrics and statistics will show here. This should give you a good starting point to edit or add even more equations to your website. If chose “Custom” from the sports preset list, you will need to add your own variables.
