Our Scenario

This league ranks its teams based on one piece of information first and if there is a tie it moves onto a second piece of information. The first piece of information is the win percentage. How many games has the team played compared to how many they have won. If that is tied with another team, it then moves onto the point differential. The point differential takes the points they have earned and subtracts the points other teams have earned against them. You can use any information as the first comparison and then the second for tie-breaking, but this is our scenario to give you some context.

Setting Up The Team Standings

SP (Sets Played): First, we have to tally up the amount of sets they have played. We are counting these from the other two sheets we are using to record the scores within the games. The Upper division sheets and the Lower division sheet.

W (Wins): Wins will go through those sets played and see which ones are the winning sets. Our league caps the games at a certain score for time restriction purposes. So we check to see if the first two sets have reached 25. If any of those are 25, that team has won the set. If you aren’t capping your sets, you will have to write the calculation to figure out which team actually won.

W% (Win Percentage): Divide the wins by the sets played to get the teams win percentage.

PF (Points For): Tally the points the team has earned.

PA (Points Against): Tally the points other teams have earned against them. This is a little more complicated depending on how you set up your spreadsheet. In ours, when we record the scores, we require our stats volunteer to enter the number of the opponent in from of each match so we can gather these.

PD (Point Differential): Subtract the Point Against from the Points For.
