The easiest way to track running standings

Whether it is a trail running series, a road race league, or a cross-country season, Simple Standings lets you track points, races completed, and wins in a clean leaderboard — then share it with your running 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 running standings work

A running series turns each race into points, and the season standings add them up. A common scheme gives the winner 100 points and one fewer for each place behind, so a field of any size can be scored. Age-graded series instead score each finish against the standard for the runner’s age and sex, which lets a 60-year-old and a 25-year-old compete on the same table.

Most series count only a runner’s best few races — four out of six, say. Without that rule, the standings reward attendance as much as speed.

Cross-country team scoring works the other way round: add up the places of a team’s first five finishers, and the lowest total wins. The sixth and seventh runners do not score but still take places, pushing other teams’ runners down, and the sixth runner’s place is the usual tiebreaker.

A worked example

Five runners in a four-race series, 100 points for a win and one fewer per place:

RunnerR1R2R3R4RacesWinsPTSBest 3
Tara97991009841394297
Uma9596989940388293
Ruth1009810032298298
Sam991009731296296
Vic98999730294294

Counting every race, Tara and Uma are far ahead, simply because they ran all four. Counting each runner’s best three, Ruth — two wins from three starts — leads the series.

That is the case for a best-of rule. Pick the number before the series starts, because it changes who wins.

Common running tiebreakers

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

  1. Most race wins in the series.
  2. Head-to-head — in races both runners started, who finished ahead more often.
  3. Result in the final race.
  4. Shared place, if the series allows it.

How running seasons are scheduled

  • A race calendar, usually one race a month across a season, at different venues and distances.
  • Age-group and gender categories, each with its own standings.
  • Cross-country seasons of weekly meets, with team and individual standings and a championship at the end.

Setting up running standings in Simple Standings

Pick Running when you create a league and the standings start with PTS, Races, and Wins. New running 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.

Use Add to totals after each race: type each runner’s points and a 1 for Races, and both are added to their totals. Formulas cannot pick a best three, so for a best-of rule keep a column per race and type the points being dropped into a Dropped column; the series total is the sum of the races minus Dropped.

The schedule works as the race calendar — date, venue, distance — and visitors can filter it by venue.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I create running standings?
Sign up for a free account, click "Create new", choose your columns (wins, losses, points, etc.), add your runners, and type in the data. No spreadsheets or imports needed.
Can I share my running 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 running 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 runner sees only their own games.
Can I track running stats?
Yes. Check Statistics when creating and you get a stats table with the columns already prefilled for running — 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 running 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 running 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.
