In Slams you don't assemble the columns of the standings by hand. Slams sets them automatically based on the format (ladder, league, americano, and so on) and the sport. This way the standings always match the rules of that part, and your players, the TV screen and the printout all see exactly the same columns. So there is no button to switch individual columns on or off, or to change their order. Below you'll read which columns you get per format and what you can steer.
Which columns do you see per format?
Every format has its own set of columns. The most important ones:
- Ladder: position, team, played, won, lost, points and a rating column (the average team rating).
- League / groups: position, team, played, won, drawn, lost, games difference and points. With groups you get a separate standings table per group.
- Americano and Mexicano: position, player (or pair for fixed duos), played and points. Here the points are the number of games won.
- Beat the Box: position, player, played, won, lost, difference and points.
- Team Clash: position, team, played, won, drawn, lost and points.
- King of the Court: position, pair, wins, king rounds and played.

The difference column: games or sets
For formats with a difference column, Slams uses a games difference by default (games won minus games conceded). The set difference serves as the second tiebreak. This too is part of the format and isn't something you set yourself. If you enter results per set (for example 6-4 6-2), Slams automatically derives the sets and the games from that. See entering scores.
The rating column follows the sport
This is where the sport comes through most clearly. In a ladder, the rating column shows the rating that belongs to the chosen sport: padel, tennis singles, tennis doubles and pickleball each have their own rating per player. You make the choice of sport and discipline when you create the part. More on this in the DSS rating explained.
What you can change yourself
You don't change the columns themselves, but you can sometimes change the content:
- Points system for a league: in the settings of a league part you set the number of points for a win, a draw and a loss. That directly changes the values in the points column and therefore the order. See league and groups in Slams.
- Correcting a wrong value: if a figure isn't right, adjust the result or use a manual correction. See correcting a result and adjusting standings manually.
In short: the columns select themselves automatically based on the format and the sport, so the standings are correct for every type of play. If you want a different column setup, in practice you choose a different format that suits your setup.
