Standings Formatting
Control how standings appear on screen and in print.
Access: Options → Formatting → Standings tab (or right-click in the standings view for quick options)
Sort Order
Primary sort — Choose how players are ranked:
- Standings — Score first, then configured tiebreaks (most common)
- Pair number, rating, alphabetical, etc.
- Game wins — For fixed-roster team events where prizes are based on total game points rather than match points
If Standings is not the primary sort, it becomes the secondary sort automatically.
Secondary sort — When primary sort values are equal, choose between pair number order and score (rank) order. This setting also affects the wall chart.
Display Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Order numbers | Number players by standings rank or by pair number |
| Math symbols | Use +, =, - instead of W, D, L for results. Note: editing requires turning this off. |
| Show ID | Display USCF/FIDE ID column |
| Show ratings | Display pre-tournament ratings |
| Final rating | Display estimated post-tournament ratings |
| Show performance | Display performance rating |
| Rounds in progress | Show the most recent paired round even when it is incomplete. Finished games show their result; only games still unplayed show ~opponent. (Off by default — standings normally show completed rounds only.) |
| Show tiebreaks | Choose: never / always / final round only |
| Show prizes | Choose: never / always / final round only |
| Show place | Display standings rank up to the specified player limit |
| TB place (tiebrk sort only) | Show the absolute post-tiebreak ranking column. On by default; only takes effect with the tiebreak sort (see below). |
TB Place is the player’s absolute finishing place after tiebreaks are applied. Because that ranking only makes sense when the grid is actually ordered by tiebreaks, the column appears only when all of these hold:
- TB place (tiebrk sort only) is checked (the default)
- At least one tiebreak is configured and the tiebreak columns are shown
- The primary sort is Standings (with tiebrk)
- The section is not team-based
Outside the tiebreak sort the column is hidden, so it can no longer print a confusing value (such as a 4th row reading “TB Place 8”) against a plain rating sort. It is no longer tied to Show place.
Show tiebreaks / Show prizes “final round only” hide tiebreaks and prizes until the last round. Sections with no configured round count use the latest paired round as the final round, so they hide correctly while a round is still in progress.
Fixed-Roster Team Events
For fixed-roster events, you can sort the team standings by game wins (individual game points) rather than match points. This is useful when prize distribution is based on total game points.
When using this:
- Set tiebreak to Game points in Setup → Tiebreaks
- Enable Show tiebreaks here
