The standings are not a separately stored table; they are recalculated from decided matches every time they are opened. When a result is corrected, the table updates by itself. The standings on the public page use the same calculation as the management screen.
Which matches count?
- Decided matches and forfeit results count.
- Postponed matches (including suspended ones) do not count until they are decided.
- Cancelled (“Not played”) matches never produce points, goal difference or statistics.
Points
You set the points for a win, a draw and a loss under Tournament Settings › How It Is Played. Once a stage’s first official match has started, that stage’s point values are fixed; later changes apply only to stages that have not started yet.
Tie-break criteria
Teams level on points are separated by the ranking criteria in order. The default order is: Head-to-head → Goal difference → Goals scored → Goals conceded → Wins → Fair play (calculated from cards). If no criterion separates them, a draw is the last resort. You can change the order and which criteria are used on the same settings screen; this choice is also fixed once a stage has started. The “How was the ranking decided?” section on the Standings screen shows which criterion was applied.
Tie-break draw
If the teams that should advance cannot be separated by sporting criteria, the system does not pick who advances: you are asked to make a tie-break draw on the Draw page, and the next stage cannot be created until it is made.
What you see by format
- League: one table.
- Group stage: a separate table for each group; the teams that advance are decided by the qualification rule.
- Knockout stage: no table is kept; the order is decided by the results of the ties.
- In a multi-stage tournament, each stage’s table is shown separately.
