Excel standings tracker alternative
Replace your Excel standings workbook with a free online tracker — standings, schedule, and player stats. Share a link instead of emailing files.
Why Simple Standings
Excel standings templates are everywhere — and they all have the same problems. Formulas break when someone adds a row, nobody can view them easily on a phone, and you end up emailing updated files every week. Simple Standings replaces the whole workbook, not just the standings sheet: a standings table, a game schedule, and a player statistics table, each with columns already set up for your sport. Type in your data, share one link, and everyone sees the latest version.
