Simple Setup
How It Works
Configure Your Point System
Choose from preset formats like win-loss-tie or points-per-game, or build a fully custom system. Assign point values for wins, losses, draws, overtime wins, bonus points, and forfeits. Different divisions can use different scoring models within the same league.
Define Tiebreaker Rules
Stack tiebreaker criteria in the order that matters to your league: head-to-head record, goal differential, goals scored, strength of schedule, or coin flip. The system applies each tiebreaker in sequence until every position in the table is resolved.
Enter Scores
Input final scores from the admin panel, through the mobile scoring app, or let coaches submit results that you approve. The standings table recalculates in real time with every confirmed score.
Publish and Share
Standings are displayed on your public league website automatically. Embed them on a partner site with a simple iframe code. Export to PDF for posting at your facility or sending to local media.
Capabilities
What You Can Do
Real-Time Recalculation
Every time a score is entered or corrected, the standings table updates instantly. There is no batch process or overnight job. Teams and fans always see current results the moment they visit the page.
Custom Point Systems
Award three points for a win and one for a draw, or create any formula you need. Support for bonus points, deductions, and overtime differentials means any sport or rule set is covered.
Multi-Level Tiebreakers
Define up to ten tiebreaker criteria in priority order. The engine walks through each level until the tie is broken, so playoff seeding is always clear and defensible.
Division and Conference Views
Display separate standings tables for each division, conference, or pool. A combined league-wide view is also available, with a toggle so fans can switch between perspectives on the public page.
Season Statistics
Track goals scored, goals against, differential, win streaks, and any custom stat columns you add. Historical data is preserved season over season for year-to-year comparisons.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do tiebreakers work when three or more teams are tied?
The system evaluates multi-way ties by applying each tiebreaker criterion to the full group of tied teams. If a criterion separates some but not all, the remaining tied teams are re-evaluated from the top of the tiebreaker list.
Can I use a different point system for each division?
Yes. Each division can have its own point values, tiebreaker order, and stat columns. This is common when one league runs both recreational and competitive divisions with different rules.
Are standings visible to the public?
Standings are published on your league website by default. You can also restrict visibility to logged-in members only, or keep them hidden until a specific date in the season.
What happens if a game result is corrected after the fact?
Edit the score in the admin panel and the standings recalculate immediately. A change log records the original and corrected scores for transparency, and affected teams are optionally notified.
Can I export standings to share with sponsors or media?
Export standings to PDF, CSV, or an embeddable widget. The PDF version is print-ready for posting at your facility, and the embed code lets partner websites display live standings directly.
