Google Sheets standings alternative
Stop wrestling with Google Sheets formulas. Simple Standings is a free, shareable standings, schedule, and stats tracker built for league organizers.
Why Simple Standings
Google Sheets works until it does not — broken formulas, permission headaches, and standings that look terrible on a phone. Simple Standings gives league organizers what they actually need: tables you type into and a link you share. The three tabs you would have built by hand are already there — standings, the game schedule, and player statistics — so you can turn on the ones you use and ignore the rest. No IMPORTRANGE errors, no accidental edits by players, no formatting marathons.
