Standing Points Override Per Match
What is a standing points override?
By default, Score7 awards a fixed number of points for each match outcome — for example, 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss. But some sports and rulesets use variable point systems where the points depend on how the match was won.
The standing points override lets you set custom points for each participant on a per-match basis, replacing the default allocation.
Common use cases
| Sport | Standard system | Override needed |
|---|---|---|
| Volleyball | Win = 3 pts | 3-0 or 3-1 win = 3 pts for winner, 0 for loser. 3-2 win = 2 pts for winner, 1 for loser. |
| Handball | Win = 2 pts | Same, but some leagues give extra points for large margins |
| Forfeits | Win = 3 pts | Organizer may want to give 0 points for a no-show win |
| Custom rules | Varies | Any scenario where the default point allocation doesn't fit |
How to set it
- Enter the match result as normal
- After saving, expand the Standing Points section below the score
- Enter the custom point value for each participant
- Save
The override applies only to that specific match. All other matches continue using the default win/draw/loss point allocation.
Allowed range: Any integer value between -1,000,000,000 and +1,000,000,000 (including negative numbers for penalties).
How it differs from point modifiers
| Feature | Standing points override | Point modifiers |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Per match | Per participant (applies to overall standings) |
| Where | Inside the match result dialog | In the Standings section |
| Use case | Variable point systems (volleyball, etc.) | Penalties, bonuses, manual adjustments |
| Premium? | No | No (free since recent update) |
Both features affect the standings table, but they serve different purposes. Use the override for sport-specific point rules, and point modifiers for one-off adjustments.
Availability
Standing points override is available for round-robin and group stage matches only (formats where standings are calculated). It does not apply to knockout matches, which determine advancement by match result rather than accumulated points.
