How it scores

Win is 3. Everything else is 0, 1, or −1, except blow lead to draw (−0.5) and draw from behind (+0.5). Flags stack. Win by 2 / win by 3+ are cumulative on the final margin.

Leads and deficits are anytime in the match. Blow-lead docks only if the game is drawn or lost. If a side comes from behind to win or draw, the comeback counts and the blow-lead docks are wiped — look at the game in totality.

Updated 22 September 2026. Unplayed fixtures stay blank; they are never scored as 0–0.
