# What are points rules?

> The win / loss / tie / default / per-end points a league awards, set per round and division, and how the right row is chosen for a game.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * A points row holds **Win**, **Loss**, **Tie**, **Default win**, **Default loss** and **Per end won**. Win, Loss and Tie are always required together; Default win and Default loss fall back to Win and Loss when blank; Per end won defaults to 0.
  * Rows exist per round × division. The most specific match wins: round + division, then round only, then division only, then the league-wide row.
  * Saving the grid **re-scores every recorded game** — the toast says "Points saved — N recorded games re-scored".
</Note>

In CCM, league standings were driven by *points awarded* rather than by curling scores — two for a win, one for a tie, and so on — and the points could differ by round and by division. Uplifter Curling reproduces that with points rules.

A game's points are worked out as **outcome points + (per-end points × ends won)**. The outcome is a win, loss or tie, or a *default* (a forfeit), which can carry different points from a played result. If a league records numeric scores instead, the same rules still turn each result's win/loss/tie into standings points.

The grid on **League Setup → Points** has one row for **All rounds × All divisions** (the league-wide default), one for each round, one for each division, and one for each round × division pair. Leave a row blank to inherit from the more general one. Values run from 0 to 99.99 with up to two decimals, so half-points work.

If a points-mode league has **no** matching row for a game, result entry is refused until you add one (see [How do I enter game results?](/club/points-and-standings/how-do-i-enter-game-results)). A scores-mode league without a row falls back to 2 / 0 / 1.

The words "round" and "division" follow your club's terminology setting. Also available in the classic view as the **Points Listing** screen, with CCM's columns **Points for Win / Loss / Tie / Default Win / Default Loss** and **Points per End Won**.
