Is there a way to select the top two and also anything that ties?
For example if you were looking through stats and you had games that had a scores of 8,6,6,4,3 but i only wanna use the value of the top 2 unless there is a tie so in this case i want to display 8,6,6 but if the scores were 8,6,5,4,3 i would only want to display 8,6.
So now for the first team i wanna show theree highest two scores but there happens to be a tie betweens the two games where they scored 6 . So in this case i need to show them both in my list. In the other game i would just show 8 and 6 because there the top two.
The html would then look like this
top 2 scores 8 vs teamblue 6 vs team red 6 vs team green
I think you could still use the key part I posted above to select unique scores, then as you are writing out each score check for any duplicates
<xsl:if test="count(schedule/game [score = current()/score]) > 0"> <!-- there is a tie, select all with the same score, except the current --> <xsl:for-each select="schedule/game [score = current()/score][position() > 1"> ...info about the tied game... </xsl:for-each> </xsl:if>

<xsl:for-each select="schedule/game"> <xsl:sort select="pts" data-type="number" order="descending"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="position()=1"> <tr> <td>Points</td> <td><xsl:value-of select="pts"/></td> <td>   </td> <td><xsl:value-of select="opponent"/></td> </tr> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="not(position()>2) and pts>0 and position()!=1"> <tr> <td>   </td> <td><xsl:value-of select="pts"/></td> <td>   </td> <td><xsl:value-of select="opponent"/></td> </tr> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise></xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose></xsl:for-each>This is what i already have I only need help with figuring out the tie part please and thankyou.
For the tie part, you could try using XSLT keys to only select unique stats values.
Above your <xsl:template>
Then adjust your for-each loop
That way in your example, you would only get 8,6 instead of 8,6,6.
Would that work?

Oh sorry my question was a little confusing but in my case i want to show 8,6,6 if there is two 6's
<report><game> <score>8</score><team>red</team> </game> <game> <score>6</score><team>blue</team></game> <game> <score>6</score><team>green</team>
</game> <game> <score>5</score><team>yellow</team>
</game> <game> <score>3</score><team>orange</team>
</game> </report>
Here are two examples of the xml for a season of games in any sport for two different teams
<report> <game> <score>8</score> </game> <game> <score>6</score> </game> <game> <score>5</score> </game> <game> <score>4</score> </game> <game> <score>3</score> </game> </report>So now for the first team i wanna show theree highest two scores but there happens to be a tie betweens the two games where they scored 6 .
