# Rugby Standings Widget

## Add a rugby competition table to a post.

The **Standings** widget displays the current table for a rugby competition and season, grouped by stage, directly inside your article.

The fastest way to add a Rugby widget: hover any block and click the **Rugby** icon directly — no need to open the full block picker and search a category list.

### Preconditions

- Your project must have the Rugby feature enabled. Widget categories are switched on per project, so if **Rugby widgets** does not appear in the block picker, ask your administrator to enable it.
- You need permission to create or edit articles.
- The competition you want must have at least one season recorded.

### Adding the Rugby Standings Widget to a post

To set up the widget:

1. Open an article for editing, or create a new one.
2. Hover over a block in the article body. A row of icons appears, one for each sport enabled on your project — the **Rugby** icon is highlighted here.

3. Select the **Rugby** icon, then choose **Standings** from the widget list that opens.

4. Set the widget options. **Competition**, **Season**, **Stage**, **Highlight teams** and others control what it shows.
   
   ![The Standings options panel as it first opens.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/widget-screenshots/rugby/standings/03-options-panel.png?width=691&name=03-options-panel.png)
5. Check the options are the ones you want. Some fields depend on others, so a list can be empty until you set the field above it.

6. When done, select **Save Block**.

7. Hover the widget block and select the preview control to see the real widget.

### Rugby Standings Widget options

- **Competition** *(required)* — The competition whose data you want to show.
- **Season** — The season within the chosen competition. Options depend on which competition you selected above.
- **Stage** — Limits the widget to a single stage of the competition, such as a group phase or a knockout round.
- **Highlight teams** — Emphasises one or more teams in the results so readers can find them quickly.
- **Limit** — The maximum number of rows to display.
- **Offset** — The standings position to start from. Combine it with Limit to show a slice of the table rather than the whole thing.
- **Display widget header** — Shows the widget’s own heading above its content.
- **Refresh time** — Controls how often the published widget refetches its data. Leave empty to use your project’s global refresh setting.

### What the Rugby Standings Widget shows

Rugby tables use the same column set as most team sports, since a rugby match can end in a draw:

- **MP** — matches played: how many matches the team has completed
- **W** — won: matches the team won
- **D** — drawn: matches that ended level
- **L** — lost: matches the team lost
- **GD** — goal difference: points scored minus points conceded (labelled provisional in the underlying data)
- **PTS** — points: competition points earned

### Preview of the Rugby Standings Widget

The widget shows a stage selector, then one table per group with a row for each team.

### Good to know

Only the preview shows the real widget. The collapsed block and the options panel show a CMS summary card instead — always check preview before publishing.

- The preview area is narrower than a published page, so the widget uses its compact layout there and may hide columns that the published version shows.
- The widget always renders whichever version of the sports widgets library your project is on. There is no version to set.
- This covers Rugby Union and Rugby League alike — which competitions and matches are available depends on your project’s data, not on the widget itself.
- If your development team integrates this data directly through the API rather than through this CMS, the sport key to use is rugby\_union, not rugby — the CMS handles this translation for you automatically.
