## The easiest way to track cycling standings

Simple Standings is the easiest way to track a cycling race series — road, mountain, or criterium. Enter points and race results, then share the leaderboard with your club or community. It does more than the table, too: tick Schedule to add games with dates, times, and venues that visitors can filter by team, and Statistics to track events entered, wins, and best results. Enable any combination — all three sit on the same shareable link.

## How cycling standings work

Cycling series give **points by finishing place** in each race, usually to a fixed number of places, and the standings add them up. Criterium series often add **primes** — sprint points or prizes on intermediate laps — so a rider who animates the race can score without winning it.

Riders race in **categories** by ability or age, and each category has its own standings. Series ties are broken by **countback**: the rider with more wins goes ahead, then more second places, and so on down.

Track omniums are their own small series inside one day, with points from several races added up.

## A worked example

Five riders, three races, points to the top five (15-12-10-8-6):

| Rider | R1 | R2 | R3 | Wins | PTS |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Max | 3 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 34 |
| Lou | 2 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 33 |
| Kai | 1 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 33 |
| Nia | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 31 |
| Oz | 4 | 5 | 4 | 0 | 22 |

The R columns are finishing places, not points. Max leads the series without winning a race: three podium-level results beat one win and a bad day.

Lou and Kai are tied on 33 with a win each. Countback goes to second places, and Lou has one, so Lou is second.

## Common cycling tiebreakers

When riders finish level, these are applied in order until the tie is broken:

1. **Countback**: most wins, then most second places, then most thirds.
2. **Best placing in the final race.**
3. **Most races started.**

## How cycling seasons are scheduled

- **Weekly crit or time-trial nights** through the summer, each one a round of the series.
- **Stage-race style series** over a few weekends.
- **Categories** racing separately, each with its own standings.

## Setting up cycling standings in Simple Standings

Pick Cycling when you create a league and the standings start with PTS, Races, and Wins. New cycling leagues sort by PTS. Every column can be renamed, removed, or added to. A computed column can read every typed-in column, plus any computed column to its left.

The preset is PTS, Races and Wins. After each race, Add to totals adds that race’s points, a 1 for Races and a 1 for a win. To break ties on countback, add a column for second places and sort with `PTS × 10000 + Wins × 100 + Seconds`.

Keep one league per category, or duplicate one league to set up the next with the same columns.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I create cycling standings?

Sign up for a free account, click "Create new", choose your columns (wins, losses, points, etc.), add your riders, and type in the data. No spreadsheets or imports needed.

### Can I share my cycling standings with others?

Yes. Every standings you create gets a unique shareable link. Anyone with the link can view the standings — no account required.

### Can I make a cycling schedule too?

Yes. Check Schedule when creating and add games with dates, times, venues, and scores. Visitors can filter the schedule by team or venue, so each rider sees only their own games.

### Can I track cycling stats?

Yes. Check Statistics when creating and you get a stats table with the columns already prefilled for cycling — events entered, wins, and best results. Add computed columns for anything you work out with a formula, and sort by whichever column matters.

### Is Simple Standings free for cycling leagues?

Free — standings, schedule, and statistics with no team limits, no game caps, and a public share link included. Public pages carry ads, which is what pays for it; a one-time $9.99 USD removes them from a league, with no subscription and no renewal.

### Do cycling scores automatically update the standings?

Only if you want them to. Typing the table in yourself is the default, and it is what most leagues stick with — no syncing, no broken formulas. You can also enter one game at a time and let it do the arithmetic, report a score and have the standings update themselves, or keep a full box score for each game that updates the standings and every player's totals at once.
