The easiest way to track rugby standings

Simple Standings supports the rugby table format your league needs — whether it is rugby union with bonus points, rugby league, or sevens. Track wins, losses, draws, points for, points against, and total points. 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 rugby standings work

Rugby union tables run on a bonus-point system. The most common one gives 4 points for a win, 2 for a draw and 0 for a loss, plus a try bonus point for scoring four or more tries and a losing bonus point for losing by seven or fewer. A team can earn both in the same defeat: lose 31–35 with four tries and you take 2 points.

Rugby league is simpler: 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and no bonus points. Many sevens tournaments use 3 for a win, 2 for a draw and 1 for a loss in pool play, so turning up and playing counts for something.

Points for (PF), points against (PA) and points difference sit beside the record. With bonus points in play, the BP column is worth showing separately so everyone can see where each team’s total came from.

A worked example

Five union teams, single round robin, on 4-2-0 plus bonus points:

TeamWDLPFPADIFFBPPTS
Stags40012854+74319
Ravens2119680+16212
Badgers20210192+9311
Otters1127098−2817
Falcons00461132−7122

Stags won every game but took only three bonus points, so one win came without four tries.

Falcons lost all four and still have 2 points, from losing bonuses or try bonuses in defeat. That is the system working: a close loss is worth something.

Common rugby tiebreakers

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

  1. Number of wins.
  2. Points difference.
  3. Tries scored, where the league records them.
  4. Points scored.
  5. Head-to-head result.

How rugby seasons are scheduled

  • Double round robin over a club season, home and away.
  • Sevens tournaments: pools of four on day one, then cup, plate and bowl brackets so every team keeps playing.
  • Leagues by level, with promotion and relegation at the end of the season.

Setting up rugby standings in Simple Standings

Pick Rugby when you create a league and the standings start from the Simple preset — W, L, D, and PTS — or from Advanced: W, L, D, PF, PA, BP, PTS, and DIFF, with DIFF worked out as PF − PA. New rugby 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 a computed column: W × 4 + D × 2 + BP, where BP is a number you type in after each game, since a formula cannot count tries. For rugby league, use W × 2 + D and delete the BP column.

For a tiebreaker sort on wins and then points difference, add PTS × 100000 + W × 1000 + DIFF.

With score reporting, a final score moves wins, losses, draws, PF and PA. Bonus points stay a typed-in column.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I create rugby 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 rugby 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 rugby 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 rugby stats?
Yes. Check Statistics when creating and you get a stats table with the columns already prefilled for rugby — 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 rugby 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 rugby 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.
