I'm trying to write a plugin that would help my local little league manage their league, and though I've read the New Table vs Post Meta question, it's still a bit unclear and I'm hoping someone here might be able to help.
I have the CPT's (Teams, Players and Matches) as well as the taxonomies (seasons, divisions and positions) created, but my main concern is historical data and querying that data.
Is the best way to store player statistics and things of that nature in a separate database table? Is there a scenario anyone could envision where storing that in post_meta would be superior?
