2 points, not 3
In setup, set a win to 2, a draw to 1 and a loss to 0. Tie-breakers: points, goal difference, goals scored. That is the usual handball table. Leaving football's 3 points in place builds the wrong order.
Handball tournaments on 2 points, with age groups and referees.
In handball a win is 2 points, not 3. You set that in setup, put each age group in its own division, and assign the referee in the planner.
Typical format
A division per age group
Scoring
2 for a win, 1 for a draw
Match length
2 × 10 to 2 × 15 min
How you set up the handball tournament
Age groups, beach, referees
Each age group is a division, with its own groups. The dressing-room number sits on the team and stays off the public page. For beach handball, switch scoring to sets and enter 2:0 or 2:1. One referee is stored per match. Name a second official in the public info text if you want them listed.
Typical tournaments
Youth tournament
One division per age group, short halves in the planner, and the referees assigned next to the throw-off.
Pre-season tournament
Groups only, one court, 2 points for a win. The day's table is the result.
Beach handball
Scoring on sets. You enter 2:0 or 2:1. Each sand court is its own field.
How to set it up
Four steps and the basics are in place.
- 1
Set points to 2 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. For beach handball, switch scoring to sets instead.
- 2
Tie-breakers: points, goal difference, goals scored. In set mode the difference is the set difference, if you enter 2:1.
- 3
Add a division per age group and build groups only inside that division.
- 4
Put the dressing room on the team. Add referees and assign them in the planner.

How do I set the 2-point rule?
In setup: 2 for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss. Tie-breakers: points, goal difference, goals scored. Leaving 3 points in place, as in football, builds the wrong table.
How do I score beach handball?
Switch scoring to sets and enter 2:0 or 2:1. Count the shoot-out as a set won. The throws stay on the sheet at the court.
Can several age groups run in one event?
Yes. Add a division per age group. Teams pick theirs when they sign up, and you build the groups inside that division. They can share one hall.
How do I assign referees?
Add them and assign one to each match in the planner. A second official can be named in the public info text. Whoever has the whistle can enter the score through their own link.
What do spectators see about the dressing rooms?
The room number sits on the team, for the organizers. The public page shows the team name, the throw-off and the table. Email addresses stay private.
