advise on structure of database

I am creating a mysql database with game stats.

What I would like would be some suggestions on the best way to organise the database. ie, more than 1 table?

There will be:
* 15 rounds
* 10 players
* 8 types of stats (goals, missed goals, intercept, thrown an intercept, stepping, contact, who they played, result)

Once the game is over, stats for that round would not be updated.

The output page would display things like the following:

* team stats for each round plus overall team stats
* player stats for each game plus for overall stats

I was thinking the best way to setup the input page would be to have a drop down menu for the rounds, a drop down menu for the players and then possibly a check box list for options like goals, penalities, etc. Being the stats will always only add 1, I was thinking maybe instead of the check box's to have another drop down with the stat options, like in the drop down menu it would have goal, penality, intercept, etc.

RE: advise on structure of database

Based on what you said, I would do :

php Code:
Original - php Code
  1.  
  2. Table Players
  3. -------------
  4. Player_Id
  5. ...
  6.  
  7. Table Games
  8. -----------
  9. Game_Id
  10. ...
  11.  
  12. Table Rounds
  13. ------------
  14. Round_Id
  15.  
  16. Table Stats
  17. -----------
  18. Game_Id
  19. Round_Id
  20. Player_Id
  21. Stat_Goals
  22. Stat_Missed
  23. Stat_intercept
  24. ...
  25.  
  26. Stats are stored per player, round and game. Cumulative stats are calculated on demand with mySQL GROUP function.
  27.  
  28. Exemple :
  29. Bob' Statistics for a given game
  30. SELECT sum(Stat_Goals) as Game_Goals, sum(Stat_Missed) as Game_Missed, ... FROM Stats WHERE Player_Id = 'Bob' GROUP BY Player_Id;
