If you're running a local league, organizing school tournaments, or managing any competitive event, you need a way to show standings that people can actually access. This guide covers how to create standings tables using Leaderboarded.com.

Why Not Just Use League Management Software?
Platforms like TeamSnap, Sports Engine, and LeagueLobster offer full league management — scheduling, registration, team communication — but they come with steep learning curves and fees ranging from $15 to $50 per team per month. If all you need is a standings table, that's overkill.
Leaderboarded fills that gap: create a professional-looking standings table, share it with a link, and update it when needed. No paying for features you won't use.
Two Ways to Build Your Standings Table
Option 1: Web Interface
The simplest approach. Click on a team, enter the new numbers. Works on desktop and mobile, so you can update scores from the sidelines.

This works best if you:
- Want to update scores right after matches
- Prefer using your phone
- Need multiple people helping with updates
Use our multiscore leaderboard for this approach:
Option 2: Excel Upload
Already tracking your league in a spreadsheet? Upload it directly and the standings table is created automatically. When standings change, update the Excel file and re-upload. Good for leagues with complex scoring calculations.

Customization
The appearance matters — especially if you're sharing with parents, players, or sponsors. Pick from sport-specific themes, adjust colors, and add your logo with a premium account.
You can control exactly what's displayed. Read the customization guide for details.
Sharing Your Standings
Sharing options for a standings table
Click Share in the toolbar and you'll see several options — a presentation link for easy distribution, embed codes for your website (premium), and QR codes. Whatever method you pick, the standings update in real time as soon as you make a change.
