How Standings Are Calculated in Score7

How Standings Work in Score7​

In round-robin stages (leagues or groups), Score7 automatically calculates standings based on match results using a configurable point system and ranking criteria.

This ensures fairness and transparency throughout the tournament—especially in events where qualification depends on rankings.

Default Point System​

By default, Score7 assigns:

  • 3 points for a win
  • 1 point for a draw
  • 0 points for a loss

These values can be customized in the Overview > Tournament Settings section if your format requires a different system.

Ranking Criteria​

Standings are ranked based on one or more of the following criteria:

  1. Points – total match points earned
  2. Score Difference – goals/points for minus goals/points against
  3. Score For – total goals/points scored
  4. Score Against – total goals/points conceded
  5. Games Played
  6. Number of Wins
  7. Winning Percentage

You can adjust which criteria are used, and in what order, at any time.

How to Customize Ranking Rules​

  1. Go to the Standing section of your tournament
  2. Click Update Standing Criteria
  3. Drag and drop to reorder the criteria
  4. Toggle each criterion on/off as needed
  5. Choose ascending/descending direction (e.g., most points first)

All changes are applied instantly and reflected on the public tournament page.

Tie Breakers: Head-to-Head Logic​

When two or more teams have the same points:

  • If all tied teams have played against each other
  • And each team has played the same number of matches against the others

...then Score7 automatically calculates a mini table using just those head-to-head matches to break the tie.

This mini table follows the same ranking criteria as the main standings.

Manual Adjustments​

In special cases, you can:

  • Override points in the match result (e.g., volleyball-specific scoring)
  • Add/Subtract points manually in the Standing section (for penalties or bonuses)

To do this:

  • Click Add/Subtract Points
  • Choose the team, enter the adjustment, and add a reason for record-keeping
