Count your league table the way your federation does.
Some leagues give a point for every match won, others give points for winning the team fixture, and some add bonus points. SetMatcher offers six common ways to count a league table, so you can pick the one your league already uses.

How it works
A season has divisions ranked by strength, each division has teams, and each team has a squad. Say what one team fixture is made of, such as two singles and a doubles, and SetMatcher makes the fixture list with home and away matches balanced. Every match within a fixture is an ordinary match, with its own score confirmation and rating.
Once the season starts, its divisions are locked, so nobody’s table changes halfway through. A player can be in only one team per division, and every division needs at least two teams before the season can begin.
A team that is short of players gives up the last matches, not one from the middle.
Leaving a gap in the middle of the line-up is a way to hide a weak pairing, so it is not allowed: a team that is short gives up the last matches in the order. An unplayed match gets the score your sport’s rules set for it, and a match neither team could play counts for nobody. Once a fixture is decided, the remaining matches can be skipped or stopped, but not while the result can still change.

Leagues are run by national federations, so the way a table is counted differs from country to country. Here is how some of them do it.
USTA League ranks its divisions on team matches won and has no promotion or relegation at all: teams enter again each year. The LTA’s National League ranks on match points and uses rubber points as the first tie-break, so a 5-1 and a 4-2 win are not worth the same. England Squash gives one point for every game won plus five for winning the fixture. The Dutch federation counts only rubbers, so two drawn fixtures are worth as much as a big win and a big loss. The world federations leave all of this to the national ones, which is why each division in SetMatcher chooses how it counts.
