Why Move Your Standings Tables Online?
If you've ever tried to manage a sports league, you've probably encountered platforms like TeamSnap, Sports Engine, or LeagueLobster. While these tools offer comprehensive league management features - from scheduling to player registration and team communication - they often come with steep learning curves and monthly fees ranging from $15 to $50 per team. For many organizers, this is overkill when all they need is a simple way to display standings.
This is where keepthescore.com fills a specific need: creating professional-looking standings tables without the complexity of full league management software. No need to pay for features you won't use. Just create your standings table, share it with a link, and update it when needed.
Two Ways to create Your Standings Table
When creating your standings table on keepthescore.com, you can choose between two convenient methods:
1. Web Interface Updates
Our web interface provides a straightforward way to update standings directly online. It works smoothly on both desktop and mobile devices, making it easy to update scores right from the sidelines.
The webinterface for editing the standings table
The interface is intuitive - simply click on a team and enter the new information. This method is ideal if you:
- Want to update scores immediately after matches
- Prefer using your phone to update standings
- Need multiple people to help with updates

For the web interface, please use our "multiscore" leaderboard.
2. Excel Upload Method
If you already manage your standings in Excel, this method is perfect. Simply upload your existing spreadsheet and the standings table will be created automatically. Whenever you need to update the standings, just modify your Excel file and upload it again. This is particularly useful if you:
