Welcome to Tournament on Exercism's PHP Track. If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out HELP.md.

Instructions

Tally the results of a small football competition.

Based on an input file containing which team played against which and what the outcome was, create a file with a table like this:

Team                           | MP |  W |  D |  L |  P
Devastating Donkeys            |  3 |  2 |  1 |  0 |  7
Allegoric Alaskans             |  3 |  2 |  0 |  1 |  6
Blithering Badgers             |  3 |  1 |  0 |  2 |  3
Courageous Californians        |  3 |  0 |  1 |  2 |  1

What do those abbreviations mean?

• MP: Matches Played
• W: Matches Won
• D: Matches Drawn (Tied)
• L: Matches Lost
• P: Points

A win earns a team 3 points. A draw earns 1. A loss earns 0.

The outcome should be ordered by points, descending. In case of a tie, teams are ordered alphabetically.

Input

Your tallying program will receive input that looks like:

Allegoric Alaskans;Blithering Badgers;win
Devastating Donkeys;Courageous Californians;draw
Devastating Donkeys;Allegoric Alaskans;win
Courageous Californians;Blithering Badgers;loss
Blithering Badgers;Devastating Donkeys;loss
Allegoric Alaskans;Courageous Californians;win

The result of the match refers to the first team listed. So this line:

Allegoric Alaskans;Blithering Badgers;win

means that the Allegoric Alaskans beat the Blithering Badgers.

This line:

Courageous Californians;Blithering Badgers;loss

means that the Blithering Badgers beat the Courageous Californians.

And this line:

Devastating Donkeys;Courageous Californians;draw

means that the Devastating Donkeys and Courageous Californians tied.
