Overtime Tracking and Tiebreaks: Every Game Tells Its Full Story

A 3-2 overtime win and a 3-2 regulation win are not the same game. They shouldn't look the same in your standings, either. Rosterlytic now tracks how every game ends — regulation, overtime, or shootout — and adjusts standings accordingly.

Here's what's new and how it works.

Overtime Tracking for Hockey and Soccer

Commissioners can enable overtime tracking from the league admin page. Once it's on, every score entry includes a result method picker: Regulation, Overtime, or Shootout for hockey. Regulation, Extra Time, or Penalty Kicks for soccer.

Standings automatically gain new columns — OTW, OTL, SOW, SOL for hockey, or the soccer equivalents — so everyone can see who's grinding out close games and who's getting the job done in regulation.

Sport-Specific Presets

Not every league runs the same point system. Commissioners can choose from built-in presets or set custom values:

• NHL Style — W(2) / OTL(1) / SOL(1) / L(0)
• IIHF Style — RW(3) / OTW(2) / OTL(1) / L(0)
• Soccer PK — W(3) / PKW(2) / PKL(1) / L(0)
• Custom — Set your own values for every result type

The preview table on the admin page shows exactly how each result type earns points, so there are no surprises when standings update.

Score Labels Everywhere

Every score across the app now shows how the game ended. Hockey games display (OT) or (SO) after the score. Soccer games show (ET) or (PK). This applies everywhere — the schedule, dashboard, team detail, public embeds, and even the schedule PDF.

Regulation games show just the score, as they always have. The labels only appear when a game went past regulation.

Overtime Tagging for More Sports

Basketball, flag football, softball, and kickball now support an optional (OT) tag on games. For these sports, an overtime win counts the same as a regulation win in the standings — there's no separate OT column or point differential. It's just a label so your league's history captures the full picture.

Tennis Tiebreaks

Tennis scores got more detailed. When a set goes to a tiebreak, you can now enter the loser's tiebreak points. Instead of seeing "7-6" in the match history, you'll see "7-6(4)" — the standard way tiebreaks are displayed in tennis.

The tiebreak input appears automatically when both set scores reach 6. If you change the score away from a tiebreak situation, the input disappears and the value clears. Old match data displays exactly as it did before — no migration needed, fully backwards compatible.

It's All Opt-In

Overtime tracking is off by default. If your league doesn't need it, nothing changes. No new columns, no pickers, no labels — your standings look exactly the same as before.

When you're ready, flip the toggle on the admin page, pick a preset, and every score entry from that point forward includes the result method. Standings recalculate automatically.
