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:

  1. League Points (most points first)
  2. Wins (most wins first)
  3. Point Differential (highest difference first)
  4. 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
