What is the table saying?

Several views of the same box.

The results grid

Every pairing in the box at a glance. Each row reads from that player’s side, so their wins are green and their defeats are red or amber. Every match shows up twice, once in each player’s row, but it is one fixture underneath. A diagonal-striped cell is awaiting confirmation, and the blocked-out diagonal is where a player would meet themselves.

  • Green, won the match
  • Amber, lost but won a set
  • Red, lost without winning a set

On a phone the grid scrolls sideways and the names stay pinned to the left edge.

Standings

Bonus counts matches lost after winning a set. Ties are settled by head to head first, then set difference, then game difference. A score awaiting confirmation does not count yet. Games and Sets columns are hidden on a phone; tap a player’s name for the detail, or turn a laptop on it.

Share

One button on each of the three cards, and what it offers depends on where you are reading. Copy as image renders that card as a picture, ready to paste straight into a group chat. Send hands the same picture to your phone’s share sheet, which is WhatsApp, Messages or mail, whichever you pick. On a laptop there is no share sheet, so Send is not offered.

Saving the results as a file

Owners only, and it is in the same Share button. It saves an Excel workbook with a tab for each box, a tab for the club ladder, and an All results tab with everything on it. Each row is one match. The date, the box, both sides, the score game by game, and whether it was a walkover, a retirement or a match that ran out of time. Scores awaiting confirmation are left out, because an unconfirmed score is not a result yet. A box nobody has played in yet still gets its tab, so you can see that it is empty.

It is also what you upload somewhere else. If your club reports to a national rating like SquashLevels or DUPR, this is the round in one file instead of one evening of typing. Open the tab you want and use Save as to write it out as a CSV. The file carries player names, not accounts on those sites, so whoever uploads still matches people up at the far end.

Still to play

Sorted by who owes the most matches. Tap a player to see exactly who they still have to play, then tap one of their opponents and it opens the score form for that match directly. Usually the fastest way in: someone posts a result in the group, tap their name, tap their opponent, type the score.

Results

Newest-first log of every score, confirmed or awaiting confirmation. A row awaiting confirmation carries a Confirm and Reject pair right there for whoever is entitled to act on it, meaning the opponent or a box admin.
