Template:GetDate/doc
Contents
Usage
General usage is {{GetDate|Season|Week}}. A full list of "week" parameters is below.
{{GetDate|3|2}} will return 2018-10-07, which is the game date for week two of the regular season, season three in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD).
Both parameters are required in order to produce a result. Failure to include a valid Season and Week will result in the template using the "Current Date" values as specified here and here.
Notes
For consistency, it is assumed that the NSFL preseason begins on the 35th Sunday of the year.
The season progresses at a rate of one game-day per Sunday from that point onward, until the end of the regular season.
There is a one week gap between the end of the regular season and the start of playoffs, and another between Conference Championships and Ultimus. The Pro Bowl takes place during the latter.
This means that the playoffs begin on the first Sunday of the following year (53 weeks after the first Sunday of the season's start year), with the Ultimus Bowl taking place four Sundays after that (to account for expanded playoffs and pro bowl)
The template will also automatically adjust for the schedule changes that occurred after season 15.
DSFL specific
DSFL operates on the pre-2031 (S16) schedule for simplicity and you will need to include dsfl=y as a third parameter in the template call, like {{GetDate|23|15|dsfl=y}}, which would return 2039-01-02. This corresponds to the first week of the playoffs under the 14-game regular-season calendar, and therefore returns a date 53 weeks after the first Sunday of the given year.
NOTE: In future DSFL dates may be adjusted to correspond to the Thursday before the same week's NSFL games; I'll have to do some fiddling around before I implement that - 37thchamber a.k.a. The H.N.I.C.approach the throne 16:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
