Customizing standings columns

The difference column: games or sets

For formats with a difference column, Slams uses a games difference by default (games won minus games conceded). The set difference serves as the second tiebreak. This too is part of the format and isn't something you set yourself. If you enter results per set (for example 6-4 6-2), Slams automatically derives the sets and the games from that. See entering scores.

The rating column follows the sport

This is where the sport comes through most clearly. In a ladder, the rating column shows the rating that belongs to the chosen sport: padel, tennis singles, tennis doubles and pickleball each have their own rating per player. You make the choice of sport and discipline when you create the part. More on this in the Slams rating explained.

What you can change yourself

You don't change the columns themselves, but you can sometimes change the content:

• Points system for a league: in the settings of a league part you set the number of points for a win, a draw and a loss. That directly changes the values in the points column and therefore the order. See league and groups in Slams.
• Correcting a wrong value: if a figure isn't right, adjust the result or use a manual correction. See correcting a result and adjusting standings manually.

In short: the columns select themselves automatically based on the format and the sport, so the standings are correct for every type of play. If you want a different column setup, in practice you choose a different format that suits your setup.
