Template:GetDate

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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 ISFL 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 then 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 and after season 22, as long as the relevant season number is supplied.

DSFL specific

DSFL operates on the pre-2031 (S16) schedule for simplicity, except it uses Thursdays as matchday rather than Sundays. To use it, you will need to call a related template: GetDateDSFL, like {{GetDateDSFL|23|15}}, which would return 2039-01-13 . This corresponds to matchday fifteen – or the first week of the playoffs under the 14-game regular-season calendar – and therefore returns a date 53 weeks after the first Thursday of the given year.

Accepted params

These params are also accepted for "GetDateLong", and the outputs are shown for both templates below. Just replace "GetDate" with "GetDateLong".

Timings

Each of the above parameters corresponds to a specific number of weeks after the first Sunday of the given year. These numbers will vary depending on the season, but there are three calculations. One for the original 14-game regular-season format, one for the 13-game format, and one for the 16-game format. The timings for each are outlined below.
