In Slams you never type in standings by hand. The standings roll out automatically from the matches that have been played: as soon as a result comes in, Slams recalculates the table. That prevents calculation and typing errors, but it also means you do not edit the standings as a separate list. You steer the standings by adjusting the underlying data.
How the standings are built
For every format, Slams adds up the matches played into a set of standings. Think of won sets and games (league and tournament), won games as points (Americano, Mexicano, Beat the Box) or the rating (ladder). If you want to understand which columns are added up and how ties are broken, read how standings work and tiebreakers explained.
Steering the standings through the result
If you want a team or player to rank higher or lower, adjust the result that sits beneath it. You correct a set or game that was entered incorrectly at the part itself, after which the standings move along instantly. See correcting a result and entering scores. Please note: for formats that adjust the rating, a correction also changes the DSS rating of the players involved. A league does not count towards the rating, so there you only affect the table.
Adjusting the points system (league)
For a league, you decide for yourself how many points a win, a draw and a loss are worth. The default is 3, 1 and 0. If you change those values, Slams recalculates the whole table. This lets you, for example, give a losing team a point too, or make a draw carry more weight. This is the only place where you adjust the points count directly.
Penalties and bonus points
Slams does not (yet) have a separate field to add or subtract points independently of the matches, for example as a penalty for a no-show or as a bonus. The standings always remain a mirror of the results played. If you still want to see a correction reflected in the standings, that is only possible indirectly through the result, with the caveat that this also moves the games balance (and, for a rated format, the rating). Do you need a real penalty or bonus rule? Let us know via the "Chat with Coen" button in the dashboard and we will put it on the list.
If you only want to choose which columns are visible in the standings, take a look at adjusting standings columns.
