Points table generator

Your league table, with the net run rate done properly.

Type in the results. Overs are read as base six, a side bowled out is charged its full quota, and a washed-out match shares the points without touching anybody's rate.

The three rules

Why most points tables are slightly wrong

Overs are base six. A score of 17.4 is seventeen overs and four balls, which is 106 balls. Dividing runs by 17.4 treats it as a decimal and gives a rate roughly 8% out, by a different amount for every score. It is the most common net run rate bug there is, and it is invisible until a team misses a semi-final by a hundredth.

A side bowled out is charged the full quota. Forty all out in eight overs counts as forty from twenty overs, not forty from eight. Without that rule, collapsing cheaply would improve a team's net run rate, which is plainly the wrong incentive.

A no result contributes nothing. The points are shared, but the overs bowled before the rain are not comparable with a completed match, so they move nobody's rate.

The arithmetic here is the same module the product's own statistics use, so this page and a live CricketOrganizer tournament can never quote different numbers. Why a team is above you on equal points covers the tiebreak order itself, and the net run rate calculator works out a single side's figure. For the players rather than the table, there are calculators for batting average and strike rate and for bowling economy.

Points table questions

Points

How many points is a win worth in cricket?

Two for a win and one each for a tie or a no result is the most common league convention, and it is what this generator starts with. It is only a convention: plenty of competitions use four for a win, and some award bonus points. Every figure here is editable, because applying one league's rules to another league's table is the quickest way to publish a standing that is wrong.

Net run rate

How is net run rate calculated?

Runs scored per over faced, minus runs conceded per over bowled, across every completed match. Two details decide whether the answer is right. Overs are base six, so 17.4 means seventeen overs and four balls, which is 106 balls and not 17.4 of anything. And a side bowled out is charged its full quota of overs rather than the balls it actually used, otherwise being dismissed cheaply would improve a team's rate.

Does an abandoned match affect net run rate?

No. A no result shares the points and contributes no runs or overs to either side, because a rain-shortened or abandoned game produces figures that are not comparable with a completed match. This generator enforces that: mark a match as a no result and it moves the points without touching anybody's rate.

Does a super over count towards net run rate?

No. The scores finished level, and that is what the rate records. Whether the super over decides the match itself is a competition rule rather than a fact about cricket: franchise leagues usually say yes, and plenty of local leagues leave the tie standing with the points shared. Both are a setting here, and the extra over is excluded from the rate either way.

Tiebreaks

What happens when two teams finish on equal points?

Your competition decides, which is why the order is configurable. The common sequence is more wins, then net run rate, then the result between the two sides. A team that has not both batted and bowled has no net run rate at all, and this tool leaves it blank rather than printing 0.000, which would rank it above every side with a negative rate.

Using it

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored on a server. The table lives in your browser, and the share link carries the whole tournament in the address itself, so you can send it to a group chat and the table opens exactly as you left it.
