The standings management panel lets staff view, validate, and — in rare cases — manually adjust the standings for any division in any season.
Manual point adjustments bypass the normal match result system and leave no automatic paper trail of why a team received extra or fewer points. Always use the audit log reason field thoroughly and announce significant adjustments in the staff Discord channel.

Viewing standings

Go to c3esports.com/admin/standings. Select a season and division from the dropdowns to view the current standings table. The admin standings view shows the same data as the public view, plus:
  • Last recalculated timestamp
  • Per-match breakdown (click any team to see their match-by-match record)
  • Any manual adjustment history for each team

Triggering a standings recalculation

Standings are recalculated automatically every 15 minutes by the cron job. To force an immediate recalculation:
  1. Click Recalculate Standings on the standings management page.
  2. The system re-reads all confirmed match results for the selected season and division and recomputes every team’s points, wins, losses, goal difference, and rank.
  3. The page refreshes with updated standings.
Always trigger a recalculation after manually overriding a match result or making a point adjustment. Do not wait for the scheduled cron job — standings may look wrong to users in the meantime.

Manual point adjustments

Manual adjustments are an emergency tool for situations where the normal match system cannot produce the correct result. Examples of legitimate uses:
  • Awarding points for a match that was cancelled due to a platform error on your end
  • Reversing points awarded by a match that was overturned (if the override mechanism alone was insufficient)
  • Applying a penalty to a team for a severe rule violation (per league rules)
1

Open the division standings

Navigate to the season and division you need to adjust.
2

Find the team and click Adjust Points

Click the three-dot menu next to the team row and select Adjust Points.
3

Enter the adjustment amount

Enter a positive number to add points, or a negative number to deduct points. The adjustment is applied on top of the team’s calculated total — it does not replace it.Example: if a team has 9 points from matches and you add +3, they will show 12 points in standings.Adjust points dialog showing a text field for the adjustment amount and a reason text area
4

Enter a detailed reason

The reason is stored in the audit log and shown to admins viewing that team’s adjustment history. Be specific:
“+3 points awarded to compensate for Week 4 match MATCH-ID which was cancelled due to a platform database error preventing check-in. Both teams present and ready per Discord screenshots.”
5

Confirm and recalculate

Click Apply Adjustment, then trigger a recalculation to see the updated standings immediately.

Viewing adjustment history

To see all manual adjustments made to a division’s standings:
  1. On the standings management page, click Adjustment History.
  2. A log of all manual adjustments is displayed: team, amount, reason, and which staff member made the change.
This is your audit trail for any standings adjustments.

Recalculate vs. manual adjustment: when to use which

SituationAction
Standings look wrong after a match result was confirmedTrigger Recalculate
A match result was overridden by staffTrigger Recalculate
A match needs to count differently from what the result saysManual adjustment
A team needs a penalty point deductionManual adjustment
You want to verify standings are correctTrigger Recalculate and compare
Recalculation does not remove manual adjustments. Adjustments are stored separately and added to the computed total each time standings are recalculated. If an adjustment was made in error, use a negative adjustment to reverse it — do not try to “fix” it via recalculation alone.
