In Slams you never have to keep the standings yourself. As soon as you enter a result, or a player does so through the score-entry link, Slams recalculates the standings right away. Only matches with an entered result (status played) are counted. Exactly how the standings are built up differs per format.
League and group tournament: on points
In a league you enter the result per set, for example 6-4 6-2. From that Slams derives both the sets won and the total number of games. In the standings the following applies:
- Points: by default 3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. You set this yourself per part.
- Draws are allowed, a league match does not have to have a winner.
- When points are equal, the games balance decides first (games won minus games conceded), then the sets balance.
The columns in the table are P (played), W (won), D (drawn), L (lost), Games +/- (the balance) and Pts. In a group tournament each group gets its own standings: 3 points per match won, again with the games balance as the tiebreak and then the most games won.
