Updating tournament standings manually after every match can become complicated, especially when sets, games and tie-breaking criteria matter. Sportento uses the tournament scoring rules to calculate standings from recorded match results.
📊 Create a tournament with standingsStandings points depend on the tournament rules and are not the same for every sport. In a padel tournament, for example, points are awarded based on the outcome of the match and on winning or losing the deciding set; in a tennis tournament the rules can be configured differently. That is why the standings should always be read together with the event regulations.
| Pos | Team | MP | Sets | Games | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rossi / Bianchi | 3 | 6-0 | 36-12 | 9 |
| 2 | Verdi / Neri | 3 | 4-3 | 30-26 | 6 |
| 3 | Gialli / Blu | 3 | 3-4 | 27-28 | 3 |
| 4 | Marroni / Grigi | 3 | 1-6 | 14-38 | 0 |
Illustrative example: the points depend on the rules configured for the tournament.
When two participants have the same points, the ordering criteria come into play. Set difference compares the sets won and lost in the tournament; game difference compares the games won and lost. They are useful indicators to understand not only how many matches you won, but also how convincingly.
If points, set difference and game difference are still not enough, the next criteria set by the regulations are used. The typical order is: head-to-head results, set difference, game difference. Sportento applies the criteria configured for the tournament, so the standings order stays consistent and easy to explain to the participants.
The standings can be viewed on the public tournament page, designed to be shared with a link. Players see position, matches played and differences without having to ask the organizer for clarification.
