Google Sheets standings alternative
Stop wrestling with Google Sheets formulas. Simple Standings is a free, shareable standings 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: a standings table you type into, a link you share, and nothing else. No IMPORTRANGE errors, no accidental edits by players, no formatting marathons.
