Rec League Standings & Stats: How to Track Your Season
Once games are being played and scores are coming in, the standings and stats screens become the heart of your league. Here's how to read them and get the most out of the data.
The stats screen
The league stats screen has three tabs: Standings, Stats, and Playoffs. At the top, you'll find a season selector to switch between seasons or view combined data across all seasons.
Standings tab
The standings table
The standings table ranks all teams in the selected season. Here's what each column means:
- # — Team rank (determined by tiebreaker rules)
- Team — Team name (your team is highlighted and marked with a star)
- PTS — League points (earned from wins, ties, and losses based on the scoring system)
- W — Wins
- L — Losses
- T — Ties
- PF — Points For (total goals/runs/points your team has scored)
- PA — Points Against (total goals/runs/points scored against your team)
- +/- — Point Differential (PF minus PA, color-coded green for positive, red for negative)
If any team has won a championship (bracket finals), you'll also see a trophy column showing their championship count.
How rankings work
Teams are ranked using your league's tiebreaker rules. The default order is:
- League Points (most points first)
- Wins (most wins first)
- Point Differential (highest difference first)
- Points For (most scored first)
Commissioners can customize this order from league settings. The rules are applied in sequence — if two teams are tied on the first rule, the second rule breaks the tie, and so on.
Team record cards
Below the standings table, you'll find detailed record cards for each team showing:
- Team name and W-L-T record badge
- GP — Games Played
- PTS — League Points
- Scoring totals — Sport-specific labels (Goals for hockey/soccer, Points for basketball, Runs for softball/kickball)
- Against totals — How much the team has allowed
- +/- — Point differential (color-coded)
- Per-game averages — Scoring and against averages per game
Your team's card is highlighted so you can spot it quickly.
Stats tab
The Stats tab shows Stat Leaders — the top 5 players in the league for each tracked stat.
What you'll see
For each stat category (e.g., Goals, Assists, Points for hockey), a leaderboard card shows:
- Rank — 1st through 5th (top 3 have gold, silver, and bronze badges)
- Player name and team name
- Total — Total stat value for the season
- /G — Per-game average
Total vs. per game
Use the toggle in the top-right corner to switch between Total and /G (per game) sorting. This changes the ranking order:
- Total — Players ranked by raw stat totals (rewards playing more games)
- /G — Players ranked by per-game average (rewards efficiency regardless of games played)
Sport-specific stats
The leaderboards show different stats depending on your league's sport:
- Hockey — Goals, Assists, Points, +/-, PIM, Shots
- Basketball — Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocks
- Soccer — Goals, Assists, Shots, Saves
- Softball — Hits, Runs, RBIs, Home Runs
- Kickball — Runs, RBIs, Home Runs
The overall view
Select Overall from the season dropdown to see combined data across all seasons. This aggregates:
- Standings — All wins, losses, ties, and scoring totals combined from every season
- Stat Leaders — Career totals across all seasons in the league
The Overall view uses the same tiebreaker rules as individual seasons. Note that the Playoffs tab is hidden in Overall view since brackets belong to specific seasons.
Switching seasons
Use the season dropdown at the top of the screen to jump between seasons. Each season shows its status:
- (Active) — The current ongoing season
- (Completed) — A finished season with locked standings
All tabs (Standings, Stats, Playoffs) reload when you switch seasons.
Tips
- Check the +/- column — Point differential is often a better indicator of team strength than win-loss record alone
- Use the per-game toggle — A player with fewer games might have better averages than the total leader
- Look at the Overall view — It shows which teams and players are consistently strong across seasons
- Standings update automatically — Every time a score is entered, rankings recalculate instantly. You can also view standings from the web dashboard for a full-screen experience
