Standings and brackets, on autopilot

Nobody should be rebuilding a league table in a spreadsheet on a Sunday night. Mark a game final and the standings recalculate, the tie-breakers apply and any tournament bracket advances — so the table families open in the app on Sunday morning is already the real one.

How Standings & Brackets works

Automatic standings

The table updates from results as they land. Wins, draws, losses, points, goal difference and the tie-breakers you use are all calculated from the games already in the system, so there is no weekly re-entry and no argument about whose version of the standings is correct.

Tournament brackets

Run a knockout, a group stage into a playoff, or a full multi-day tournament. Seed the bracket from your standings or set it yourself, and winners advance as results are recorded — so the next round is posted while teams are still packing up rather than that evening.

Public in the app

Families do not have to ask where their team sits. The current table and the live bracket are in the app for everyone following your organization, updated the moment a result is final, which cuts out most of the questions your staff would otherwise field on a Sunday night.

Competition formats you can run

Different seasons need different shapes, and the table or bracket follows the format rather than forcing one on you.

League seasons

A round-robin division with points for a win and a draw, ordered by the tie-breakers your competition uses. The table moves as fixtures are played.

Home & awayPointsTie-breakers

Playoff brackets

Take the top teams from the table into a knockout, seeded automatically or by hand, and let the bracket advance itself as games go final.

SeedingSingle eliminationFinals

Group stage to knockout

Run pools first, qualify teams into a bracket, and keep the whole format in one competition instead of two disconnected systems.

PoolsQualificationRounds

Multi-day tournaments

Lay a weekend event out across venues and rounds, with the schedule, the results and the bracket all reading from the same fixtures.

Standings & brackets: common questions

Do standings update automatically? +

Yes, from results. When a game is marked final, the table recalculates — there is no separate standings sheet to maintain and no weekly re-entry.

Can I set my own tie-breakers? +

You can. Competitions differ on whether goal difference, head-to-head or goals scored comes first, so the order is yours to set rather than fixed.

Can I seed a bracket from the league table? +

Yes. Take the qualifying teams straight from the standings into the knockout, or set the seeding by hand if your competition decides it a different way.

What if a result is entered incorrectly? +

Correct the game and the table and bracket recalculate from the corrected result. You are not unwinding a spreadsheet by hand.

Can families follow the table in the app? +

Yes. The current standings and the live bracket are visible in the app to everyone following your organization, so they see the same table you do.

Can I run more than one competition at a time? +

Yes. Divisions, age groups and tournaments each keep their own table or bracket, so a club running several competitions at once is not merging them into one list.
