In this thread, I'm going to show you how to make tables using Lorenzi's Game Boards and explain every step of the process.
If you don't feel like reading, or you just want a video demonstration instead, please watch Aaron's video tutorial! It covers pretty much everything written in this tutorial.

The Basics
When you first visit the website, it'll look like this:
The box on the left is called the "edit box". This is where you enter all the players, teams and scores.
The box on the right is the actual scoreboard. It is generated from the data in your edit box. It's black right now, but that's because we haven't added anything yet.
First, let's add a player named "saturn" who scored 72 points. To do this, type the following into the edit box:
Now that we've added our first player, we can add more players in the same way:
As you can see, the table will automatically be sorted.
Now, let's add flags next to the players, so we know where they're from. To do this, we're gonna put a country code in [square brackets] in between the player and their score, like so:
Next, we want to split up the players' scores into multiple columns, to represent each GP they played. To do this, we're going to use the vertical bar "|" to separate each score into a new column, like so:
Finally, let's add a label to our table and color it light blue with a hex code. To do this, go to the first line of the edit box and type the following:
That covers the FFA format, but what if we wanted to make a table for team formats instead?
Let's split up these players into 3 teams: A, B, C. We can give each team a unique hex color as well.
First, separate the players by adding new lines with the Enter key.
Now, let's add the teams A, B, C on each new line we just made:
As you can see, this will group players into teams, and create a nicely sorted table of the match they played.
Let's say Team B got a -20 penalty for trolling. Additionally, Jupiter from Team A got an individual -20 penalty.
For the team penalty, we're going to add a new line under Team B that says:
For the player penalty, we're just going to add -20 at the end of their score:
That's it! You've successfully learned all the basics of making tables.

Free For All #bae1ff
