The standings table is where you can quickly see how teams are placed during the season. It updates automatically whenever you enter match results, and shows each team’s position based on their points and other key details.

How standings are updated
As match results are entered, the standings table is refreshed automatically. The team with the most points appears at the top. Some competitions may use bonus points or penalties, which will also be shown in separate columns. If needed, manual adjustments can be made, which display in an ‘Adjust’ column. Teams who lose by default will see this on the table, along with ‘Byes’.
Note: When using a phone or small device, some columns may be hidden to keep the view tidy.
Points templates
You can choose from several standard systems, called points templates, for awarding points in each grade. These are set in phase settings or from Organisation Settings > Grade Defaults > Points template.
IMPORTANT: When a points template is changed mid-way through a draw, the new template will be applied to all fixtures - including games that have already been played.
If you require a different template please contact Sportsground.

- Goal Difference (GD)
- Points (PTS)
Teams are ranked using these steps in order of priority:

Note: the 'Differential with Goals For' ladder calculation is designed for Football and Futsal but is also available to other sports.
