How to Customize the Ranking System or Add Tiebreakers

Customizing the Ranking System in Score7​

Every tournament has its own idea of fairness. That’s why Score7 lets you fully customize how teams are ranked in round-robin stages—including how ties are broken.

Whether you're organizing a local league or a school competition, you can control the logic behind the standings table.

Where to Edit Ranking Criteria​

  1. Open the Standing section in your tournament
  2. Click Update Standing Criteria

This opens a configuration panel where you can:

  • Reorder criteria using drag and drop
  • Enable or disable specific criteria
  • Choose whether each one is ascending or descending (e.g., most goals first vs. fewest)

Available Ranking Criteria​

You can choose from:

  • Points
  • Score Difference
  • Score For
  • Score Against
  • Games Played
  • Number of Wins
  • Winning Percentage

Only Points is mandatory. All others are optional and order-dependent.

Setting Custom Tie-Breakers (Head-to-Head)​

Score7 supports head-to-head mini tables as a tie-breaker if the following conditions are met:

  • All tied teams have played each other
  • Each team has played the same number of matches against others in the tied group

When this happens:

  • A mini table is created using just those matches
  • The same ranking criteria are applied to break the tie
  • The result is displayed automatically—no manual setup needed

Changing the Points System​

To change how many points are awarded per result:

  1. Go to the Overview section
  2. Scroll to Tournament Settings
  3. Set the number of points for:
    • Win
    • Draw
    • Loss

This is useful if your sport uses non-standard scoring, like:

  • 2 points for a win
  • 0 for a draw
  • Bonus points (handled via manual adjustments)

Manual Point Adjustments (Bonuses & Penalties)​

To adjust standings manually:

  1. Go to Standing
  2. Click Add/Subtract Points
  3. Select the team and enter:
    • The number of points to add or remove
    • A reason for the adjustment (e.g., late arrival, tie-break override)

This change is logged and applied directly in the table.
