Choose the rules before playing

The default is three points for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. Change those values when creating the league if your competition uses another system. Published competition rules should decide the scoring system, not a convenient default.

Understand score difference

Score difference is total scores for minus scores against. A team that scores 12 and concedes 8 has a difference of +4. This is different from a ratio or head-to-head record, neither of which is silently substituted here.

When competitors are still tied

Rank first by points, then by your selected difference, scores-for or wins measure. Competitors still equal share a rank; alphabetical display does not award a higher finishing position. If your event needs a sole winner, decide a playoff or other published rule outside this first version.

An example points calculation

Two wins and a draw earn seven points under the default system: 2 × 3 + 1 × 1 = 7. An unplayed fixture earns no points. Updating or clearing a recorded result recalculates the table from the remaining recorded matches.

Compare match counts before choosing your format

For n entrants, a knockout needs n − 1 played matches to find a champion. A single round robin needs n × (n − 1) ÷ 2 matches; home and away doubles that figure. A third-place playoff adds one match to a knockout.

Eight teams need seven knockout matches or 28 single round-robin fixtures. Choose knockout for a shorter event; choose round robin when playing every opponent matters. Court availability, rest periods and dependent rounds still affect the schedule.
