## The easiest way to track handball standings

Whether it is team handball or beach handball, Simple Standings gives you a clean league table. Track wins, draws, losses, goals, and points — then share a link with your league. 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 goals, assists, and points. Enable any combination — all three sit on the same shareable link.

## How handball standings work

Handball has traditionally used **2 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss**, and most club leagues still do. Some tables show points as a pair — points won and points lost, such as 18:6 — which is the same information as a win-draw-loss record written another way.

Games are high scoring, with each side regularly reaching the twenties or thirties, so goal difference is the natural first tiebreaker and spreads out quickly. Beach handball is scored differently, by sets, and is usually run as its own competition.

## A worked example

Four teams, double round robin — six games each, one of the twelve drawn:

| Team | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | PTS |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Vikings | 5 | 0 | 1 | 172 | 150 | +22 | 10 |
| Lions | 4 | 1 | 1 | 168 | 149 | +19 | 9 |
| Bears | 2 | 1 | 3 | 155 | 160 | −5 | 5 |
| Ravens | 0 | 0 | 6 | 140 | 176 | −36 | 0 |

Written the traditional way, Vikings are 10:2 and Lions 9:3 — every game hands out 2 points, so the two numbers always add up to twice the games played.

Ravens lost all six but by an average of six goals. In handball, that is a team losing close games, not a team being overrun.

## Common handball tiebreakers

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

1. **Head-to-head** — points, then goal difference, in the games between the tied teams.
2. **Goal difference** over all games.
3. **Goals scored.**
4. **Drawing of lots.**

Many handball competitions apply head-to-head before overall goal difference. If yours does not, say so in the rules.

## How handball seasons are scheduled

- **Double round robin** for club leagues, home and away.
- **Tournament weekends** with groups and placement games, common in youth handball.
- **Leagues by level**, with promotion and relegation between seasons.

## Setting up handball standings in Simple Standings

Pick Handball when you create a league and the standings start from the Simple preset — W, L, D, and PTS — or from Advanced: W, L, D, GF, GA, PTS, and GD, with GD worked out as `GF − GA`. New handball 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.

Points are `W × 2 + D`. For the points-lost half of a 10:2 table, add a computed column: `L × 2 + D`.

Box scores come set up for two halves, and the statistics table is prefilled for goals, assists and points.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I create handball 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 handball 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 handball 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 handball stats?

Yes. Check Statistics when creating and you get a stats table with the columns already prefilled for handball — goals, assists, and points. Add computed columns for anything you work out with a formula, and sort by whichever column matters.

### Is Simple Standings free for handball 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 handball 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.
