How to read and adjust the standings

The standings rank each division’s teams from their final pool play scores, using the rules from your event’s settings (see how to set up standings). On game day you can read them, settle a tie the rules can’t break, put teams in an order of your own, and add or take away points.

Before you start

• You need to manage the event, or have a role that can finalise its results.
• Only final scores count. See how to enter scores.

Read the standings

1. In your event’s planner, click Standings in the sidebar’s Event day group.

   

2. With several divisions, pick one at the top. Teams are listed in ranking order. W, L and D count the games won, lost and drawn, and GP the games played. SW and SL add up the scores a team made and let in, and SD is the difference. PTS is the points: a win earns the Points per match won from your settings, a draw 1 point. Hover a heading for its full name.

   

When the division ranks by group, choose By group or Overall above the table. The overall table is the seed order the groups produce.

Settle a tie

When teams are level on every criterion, the standings can’t order them. Once the division’s pool play is over, a Tie Group box above the table names them, marked Unresolved. Break the tie the way your rules say, with a coin toss or a sudden death game, then record the result.

1. Click Resolve Tie.

   

2. Drag the teams into the order the coin toss or game decided, then click Save. The box then reads Resolved, and the table puts the teams in that order.

   

Reorder by hand

Use this when the standings have to differ from what the scores give, for example after a protest. Saving pins every team in the table to its place: later scores, settled ties and point adjustments don’t move anyone until you reset the order.

1. Drag a team by its handle to its new place.

   

2. Click Save new order in the bar that appears, then confirm. Cancel drops the change instead.

   

3. To go back to the order the scores give, click Reset to default, then confirm.

   

When the division ranks by group, reorder each group’s table on its own; the overall table follows the groups.

Saving or resetting the order also places the teams in the playoffs again once pool play is over, unless the playoffs are held or locked, or a playoff game of the division has started. See how to release the playoffs and sync the seeds.

Add or take away points

Point adjustments, such as a penalty for a late team, are added on your event’s page, where a team’s row opens its details.

1. In the planner’s sidebar, click View event page. The event’s page opens in a new tab.

   

2. Click the leaderboard icon (Standings) in the bar at the bottom of the event’s page.

   

3. Click the team’s row.

   

4. Open the Adjustments tab.

   

5. Enter the points in Points (e.g. -1 or +2) (a minus sign takes them away) and why in Reason / Penalty Details, then click Add.

   

6. The team’s PTS now include the adjustment, shown in brackets beside them, and the ranking follows, unless you’ve saved an order by hand. Anyone who opens the team’s row on the event’s page sees the adjustment and its reason.

   

To remove an adjustment, click the bin beside it in the same tab and confirm.
