What are Live Results?
Live Results allow league members and fans to see match scores as they are entered, before the results are finalised.
When a score is entered as a Latest Score, it appears on the Live Results page so people can follow matches while they are happening. These scores are considered temporary and do not affect standings or official results until they are confirmed as final.
Once the result is changed to Final Score, it becomes an official result and updates league standings.
Live Results Overview
The Live Results page displays the most recent scores entered for matches across your league.
This allows players, organisers and supporters to:
Follow matches as they are played
See scores before results are finalised
View all matches taking place on the same day
Scores entered through the LeagueRepublic administration system can be marked as either:
Latest Score - a live update while the match is in progress
Final Score - the completed and official match result
How Latest Scores Work
When entering results, you can choose to record a score as a Latest Score.
Latest scores:
Appear on the Live Results page
Show the current progress of a match
Do not affect standings or official results
Only when the score is changed to Final Score will the result:
Appear in official results listings
Update league tables or standings
This prevents incomplete or temporary scores from affecting the competition standings.
Result Approval
Some leagues require results to be approved before they become official.
If your league requires approval
Results must be approved by a League Administrator
Approved results appear in official results lists
Standings update only after approval
If your league uses automatic approval
Results become official immediately when set to Final Score
Standings update automatically
Approval settings help leagues control when results become official.
Which Matches Appear on the Live Results Page?
A match will appear on the Live Results page if any of the following apply:
A Latest Score has been entered

The page also displays other matches scheduled for the same day within the same division or tournament.
This allows viewers to see the full list of matches happening that day in one place.
