Best way to use players() function

[z-feldman]

I'm trying to figure out how best to implement the players() function. Is this something that would go inside adjust()? An example use would be adjust predictions for NFL games with each team's starting QB. Is that even the right thinking for how the players() function works? Thanks

I've added a brief vignette that should help, but would be happy to answer your remaining questions! Let me know what you think.

I am looking to use the elo.run function to model a 5v5 game. I have a dataframe with all 10 playerids in seperate columns and a column for the outcome of the game. I am getting this error

"Error in mtfrm.default(c("99322214618656216", "99322214241694525", "101389713973624205", :
cannot mtfrm"

when attempting to input more than 2 players in the home or away team. My function currently looks like this

elo.run(home_team_win ~ players(playerid_1,playerid_2,playerid_3) +
players(playerid_6,playerid_7,playerid_8),
data = test_players_run, k = 20)

I have no problem when I only include 2 players in either home or away teams. Is there something that I can fix to allow for more than 2 players to be able to entered into the function? When looking at the vignette I see that you include other examples that use up to 7 players for games like ultimate frisbee.
