Table Lab
How Table Lab works, what the columns mean, and how to prepare data.
Table Lab builds rugby-specific league and performance tables from imported fixtures, final scores, match events and SDMS team stats.
Tables never invent data. Each result shows confidence, fixture coverage and warnings when inputs are missing.
Standard league tables share a common column set. TF, TA, TBP and LBP appear only when the underlying data or competition rules support them.
Use the glossary below when reading exports or comparing Full, Form and Hemisphere tables.
High — required inputs are present for the selected scope (e.g. all teams have hemisphere values, scores complete, tries available where expected).
Medium — partial gaps such as unknown hemisphere teams or missing try stats.
Low — major missing inputs or no rows could be built.
Unavailable — the table type cannot be calculated for the current filters.
Competition and season define the fixture pool.
Full and Form tables support All / Home / Away views.
Form table uses each team's last N completed matches (venue filter applied before slicing).
Hemisphere table adds match type, neutral venue, include-unknown and summary vs breakdown modes.
Import fixtures and final scores for the competition season.
Import SDMS team match stats for tries and detailed metrics.
Set team hemisphere, country, region and team type in team admin for Hemisphere tables.
Sync standing rows where a table definition lists standing_rows as a data source.
TF, TA, TBP and LBP are shown in the table UI and exports only when try data or competition bonus rules are available for the selected scope.
