## The easiest way to track flag football standings

Flag football leagues deserve a simple way to track standings. Add your teams, enter results after each game, and share the standings with your league. No apps, no spreadsheets, no hassle. 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 touchdowns, yards, and receptions. Enable any combination — all three sit on the same shareable link.

## How flag football standings work

Flag football leagues keep a **win-loss-tie record**, and most allow regular-season ties when the clock runs out. That raises a practical question every league should answer: how does a tie rank against a win and a loss? The standard answer is **half a win** (winning percentage) or **1 point against 2 for a win** (a points table). Both put teams in the same order.

Points for and against, and the differential between them, are the usual tiebreakers. Because flag games can get lopsided, many leagues have a mercy rule and cap the differential a single game can add.

## A worked example

Five teams, single round robin — four games each, one team has a bye every week, one game tied:

| Team | W | L | T | PF | PA | DIFF |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Blitz | 4 | 0 | 0 | 136 | 70 | +66 |
| Sharks | 2 | 1 | 1 | 104 | 92 | +12 |
| Jets | 2 | 2 | 0 | 98 | 97 | +1 |
| Bolts | 1 | 2 | 1 | 83 | 101 | −18 |
| Comets | 0 | 4 | 0 | 62 | 123 | −61 |

Sorted by wins alone, Sharks and Jets look level on two. Sharks lost one fewer game, and a points or percentage column shows it: 5 points to 4, or .625 to .500.

That is the case for ranking on something other than raw wins as soon as your league allows ties.

## Common flag football tiebreakers

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

1. **Head-to-head** result.
2. **Point differential**, capped per game in many rec leagues.
3. **Points allowed.**
4. **Coin toss.**

## How flag football seasons are scheduled

- **Weeknight leagues** on shared fields, often two games per team per night so a season fits in six or seven weeks.
- **Odd numbers of teams** mean one bye a week; a single round robin of five teams takes five weeks.
- **Playoffs** for the top half, seeded by record, with overtime rules for tied playoff games.
- **Coed and open divisions**, each with its own table.

## Setting up flag football standings in Simple Standings

Pick Flag Football when you create a league and the standings start from the Simple preset — W, L, and T — or from Advanced: W, L, T, PF, PA, and DIFF, with DIFF worked out as `PF − PA`. New flag football leagues sort by W. 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 sorts by wins. Add a computed PTS column, `W × 2 + T`, or a PCT from the Win percentage template (choose half for ties), and sort by that instead. Advanced already adds a computed DIFF.

Box scores come set up for two halves. With score reporting set up, a tied score goes into T for both teams.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I create flag football standings?

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

### Can I share my flag football 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 flag football 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 team sees only their own games.

### Can I track flag football stats?

Yes. Check Statistics when creating and you get a stats table with the columns already prefilled for flag football — touchdowns, yards, and receptions. Add computed columns for anything you work out with a formula, and sort by whichever column matters.

### Is Simple Standings free for flag football 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 flag football 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.
