πŸ”’ How do league standings work?

Learn how to set up your league standings, and how they're calculated.

League standings track season-long performance across your singles events. Here's how to set them up, how points are calculated, and what to do if something looks off.

Setting up standings

  1. Go to League tools β†’ Standings tab

  2. Set your date range β€” include the start and end of your season. This can be updated anytime without affecting past standings data.

  3. Set how many rounds to keep β€” if a player plays more rounds than this number, only their best rounds count toward their points total.

  4. Set the minimum points for participating β€” all players receive at least this many points for completing an event.

  5. Set the points depth percentage β€” this determines how many players earn standings points at each event. For example, at 50% depth with 18 players, the top 9 earn points on a curve, and the remaining 9 receive the minimum participation points.

  6. Tap Save

Tip: Update your start and end dates at the beginning of each season β€” you don't need to create a new league each year.

Note: Standings are only supported for singles events. If your league runs both singles and doubles, only the singles events contribute to standings.

For admins: Standings points (the season-long points race) are calculated using raw total score. If handicap scoring is enabled, you'll also see a separate Handicap tab showing rankings based on handicap-adjusted score β€” many handicap leagues use this tab, not the points race, to crown their season winner. See Handicap Leagues – FAQs for players and admins for more on how the two views differ.

How points are calculated

The player who finishes first receives points equal to the total number of players at that event. Points are then awarded along a decaying curve down to 2 points for the last player above the depth limit. Everyone below the depth limit receives 1 participation point. Players who finish as DNF receive no points.

Standings points can't be adjusted manually. Want to experiment with the numbers? See the League Points Explainer.

What happens in a tie?

Points for all tied positions are added together, divided by the number of tied players, and rounded down. For example, if players in positions 2, 3, and 4 are tied, and those positions are worth 13, 10, and 8 points: 13 + 10 + 8 = 31 Γ· 3 = 10 points each (rounded down).

How divisions affect standings

Points are awarded per division and don't carry across divisions. If a player competes in GEN one week and a custom division the next, their points appear separately under each division β€” they don't combine.

GEN is the preset division for all events β€” you don't need to add a division unless you're using custom divisions. If you've used different division names across events (for example, GEN in some events and a custom division called "AM" or "Gen" in others), those events will appear under separate divisions in your standings view. Use the division dropdown at the top of the standings page to view standings by division.

Important: If custom divisions were used in past events, this can't be changed retroactively. For future events, keep your divisions consistent β€” using GEN across all events is the simplest approach unless you need custom divisions.

How players view standings

Once standings are enabled, players can tap your league in the app and tap League info, or visit your league page directly. From there they'll tap Standings. This can also be viewed using the link at the bottom of your league event leaderboard in the app.

Troubleshooting β€” event not showing in standings

If a league event isn't appearing in your standings, work through these steps:

  1. Save your standings settings: Go to League tools β†’ Standings, then tap Save β€” even if you haven't changed anything. This refreshes the standings calculation. Check your standings again to see if the missing event now appears.

  2. Check your date range: Make sure the event date falls within your configured season dates. Events outside the date range won't appear in standings.

  3. Check the division: If you used a custom division for that event, the results will appear under that division β€” not GEN. Use the division dropdown at the top of your standings page to view standings by division.

  4. Check the event format: Only completed singles events count toward standings. Doubles, teams, and incomplete events won't appear.

  5. Check event completion: Events are automatically completed 48 hours after the event end time. You can also manually complete an event from Event tools β†’ Leaderboard β†’ Complete event.

If none of the above resolves it, ask to talk to a person in the chat and describe what you've already tried, along with the name of your league (or league URL).
