Beach Volleyball on Rankelo
What a beach volleyball league looks like here.
Rankelo is built around a sport abstraction: every sport brings its own scoring rules, and the leagues, fixtures and standings work the same whatever you play. This is what beach volleyball brings.
Sets to 21, the third to 15
Best of three, both regular sets to 21 and the decider to 15, won by two with no cap — the FIVB beach match, checked on entry.
A pair is a team
Name the pair and it competes as a team with its own record all season. No squad wiring, no per-match lineups to maintain.
The same ranking as indoor
Head-to-head, set ratio, point ratio — the federation chain, applied automatically.
League types
- Beach Volleyball— a named pair per side
A team is a name that competes — it carries its own record, and squad size is not modelled.
How it works
From idea to beach volleyball standings in four steps.
- 1
Create a league
Pick beach volleyball, name the pairs, and set how many times each pairing meets over the summer.
- 2
Add the players
A name is enough — they do not need an account. Add an email too and they link to their own match history automatically the day they register.
- 3
Open the league
Rankelo generates the fixtures for every pairing, once or as many times as you set. If the roster changes later the schedule reconciles — matches already played are kept.
- 4
Play
A player enters 21-18, 19-21, 15-12 from the court. The table applies the points rule and the ratios immediately.
Scoring & standings
How beach volleyball is scored in Rankelo.
Beach volleyball is indoor volleyball with smaller numbers and a shorter match: best of three sets to 21, the decider to 15, won by two. Same units, same FIVB ranking chain, same points systems.
A race to a targetEach row is a race to a point target won by a margin, and the row tally decides the match.

Points systems a beach volleyball league can pick from
Chosen per league, and changeable at any time — switch it and every match already played is re-scored.

- 1 for a win, nothing for a loss
- 3 for a win, 1 for a loss
End the beach volleyball season with playoffs.
Any beach volleyball league can finish with a knockout phase: once every round is played, the final table seeds a single-elimination bracket — reorder the seeds if you like, byes go to the top seeds, and a third-place match is optional. Or skip the season and run a straight knockout from day one.
Features
Everything a beach volleyball league needs.
Standings that follow your rules
The FIVB rule by default — three for a straight-sets win, 2-1 when it goes to a third — then head-to-head, set ratio and point ratio.
Automatic fixtures
Every pairing × your chosen number of meetings, generated in one click when the league opens.
Players without accounts
Add someone by name and the league can start right away. They register with the same email later and pick up their matches.
Public standings
Share a link and anyone can open the table — no login, no account, nothing to install.
On your phone, in your language
Enter the score where you played it. The app runs in English and Slovenian, light or dark.
Traceable results
Every entry records who submitted it and when. Corrections go through a league admin, so the table never quietly changes.
Playoffs and brackets
End the season with a knockout seeded from the final table, or run a straight bracket from day one — seeding, byes and an optional third-place match included.
