Configure Your Standings
Scoring Method
Game
This scoring method means your standings will be based on games won or lost as determined by points scored. This is typically used for sports where a single game is played to determine the winner based on the final score; e.g., 80 points to 75 points.
Match
This scoring method means your standings will be based on games won or lost based on matches won or lost. This is typically used for sports where the outcome is determined over a number of matches where the winner has won the most matches; e.g., 3 games to 2.
Rankings options
You have three options on how rankings are based:
- Point differential: How many points are assigned based on the game's outcome.
- Winning percentage: Percentage of games played that resulted in a win.
- Cumulative Match Based Winning Percentage: Total number of matches won (not games)
You can also configure how a winning percentage will be displayed on standings pages.
Point Values
You are able to adjust the point value given to each outcome. For example, you can have a win worth 3.0 points rather than 2.0 points. You can also give values to overtime wins and losses, or deduct points for a forfeit.
Tiebreaker Rules
Tiebreakers rules can be settled in three stages: Primary, Secondary, and Fallback.
You can choose a different option on how a tie is settled for each stage. Even though your standings may be based on winning percentage, your tiebreaker rules may be based on points or vice versa.
- Team with more points: The team that has scored more points will win the tiebreaker
- Team with more wins: The team with more games won will win the tiebreaker (typically used if you have points-based standings)
- Team with less point scored against: The team who has allowed fewer points scored will win the tiebreaker
- Team with more standings points for: The team with the higher amount of points as defined by Point Values will win the tiebreaker (typically used if you have winning percentage based standings)
- Team with the higher points scored differential: The team with the higher value when subtracting points scored against from points scored will win the tiebreaker
- Head to head: The winner of the game with the two tied teams will win the tiebreaker
Preferences
You also have a number of preferences that can determine the outcome of your standings. Configure these to your liking.
Fields to Display
You can toggle each individual field based on what you'd like to show up on the public-facing standings page for each program. You'll want to hide the fields that have no bearing on your standings rules.
- Points Scored = Number of points scored in the game.
- Points Scored Against = Number of points scored by opposing team in a game.
- Points Scored Differential = Difference between the scores above
- The Points For section is related to your Point Values section.
- Points For = Number of wins multiplied by the number of points for a win.
- Points Against = Number of deductions (points deducted for a forfeit, penalty, etc)
- Points Differential = Difference of the points above.
