Who runs standings.nz
standings.nz is produced by a small, independent editorial team that follows New Zealand and international sport. We are not owned by, funded by, or affiliated with any sports league, club, governing body, broadcaster or betting company. Our only job is to explain results and standings clearly and accurately for readers who want to understand how a competition is unfolding.
Because trust depends on knowing who stands behind the information, every page on the site is written and checked by people, not published automatically. If you have a question about who edited a particular page or where a figure came from, you can contact us using the details further down this page.
What standings.nz does
standings.nz exists to make sports results and league tables easy to read and understand. We summarise what happened in a round or a season and explain how the numbers in a standings table are produced, so that a newcomer can follow along as confidently as a long-time fan.
What you will find on the site
Our content is explanatory and reference-focused rather than promotional. Typical pages include:
- Results summaries — plain-English recaps of what happened in a match, round or tournament.
- Standings and league tables — how a table looked at a point in time, with the context behind the positions.
- How standings work — explainers on points systems, wins and draws, bonus points, goal or points difference, and tie-breakers.
- Season and format guides — how a particular competition is structured, from the regular season to finals.
You can browse the site and find our latest material from the standings.nz home page.
What we deliberately do not do
We keep the site strictly informational. standings.nz does not publish betting tips, odds, predictions or staking advice, and nothing on the site should be read as a recommendation to gamble. We do not carry affiliate links, we do not run paid or sponsored product reviews, and we do not rank or score bookmakers or operators. Keeping those things off the site is what lets us stay neutral and factual.

Our accuracy and editorial policy
Accuracy is the single most important thing we offer. We aim to publish figures and facts that are correct at the time of writing, and to be honest about the limits of any reference page that is not updated in real time.
How we source our figures and examples
We build our pages from primary and official information: the websites and published tables of the relevant governing bodies and competitions, official match reports, and official statistics. Where we use a table or scoreline as an example, we treat it as a snapshot from a specific date rather than a live feed. We prioritise official sources over third-party aggregators, and when sources disagree we follow the governing body or competition organiser.
Why you should always check official sources for live figures
For the current state of any table, always check the official competition site. Standings can change with every match, and a reference page like ours reflects the moment it was written or last reviewed, not the live scoreboard. The official sites listed in our sources section are the authoritative place for up-to-the-minute positions, points, fixtures and results.
Common mistakes when reading a standings table
Standings tables are easy to misread, so it is worth knowing the traps:
- Treating an old table as current. A table is only accurate for the round it covers; a cached or screenshotted table can be weeks out of date.
- Ignoring games in hand. Two teams on the same points are not level if one has played fewer matches.
- Confusing points with position. Tie-breakers such as points difference, goal difference, head-to-head record or bonus points can separate teams who share a points total.
- Overlooking competition-specific rules. Bonus points in rugby, draw points in football, net run rate in cricket and deductions for breaches all change how a table is calculated.
When in doubt, compare what you read here with the official table before relying on it.
Corrections and updates
If you spot an error, we want to fix it. Email us with the page and the detail you believe is wrong, and we will check it against official sources and correct it promptly where needed. We also review and refresh pages over time, and we would rather be slower and right than fast and wrong.
Editorial independence and how the site is run
standings.nz is editorially independent. Because we carry no affiliate links, no operator sponsorships and no paid reviews, there is no commercial incentive to favour one team, league, product or service over another. If that ever changes — for example if a page ever contains sponsored or affiliate content — we will disclose it clearly on that page. Our coverage of any competition is never influenced by betting operators or advertisers.
How to contact us
You can reach the standings.nz editorial team by email at [email protected]. We welcome corrections, questions about our sources, and suggestions for competitions or explainers you would like us to cover. We do not provide betting advice, tips or predictions, so please do not ask us for them.
