    use a if formula in each cell. if score for first match has player 1 score in A1, and player 2 in A2 then for the where the winner of that match goes do a simple if formula. so lets say winner to go to B1. youll need to add a formula for when to tell if the game is final but once known final. if(a1>a2,a1,a2)

        acemadden1975 when do you know someone won? does the winner have to get to 5 points first? if so then in b7 do below formula

        if(or(a5=5,a9=5),if(a5>a9,a5,a9),””)

        but if you only know the winner when final score revealed then you will need to add a cell you type final score or something so then 

        if(a6=“final score”,if(a5>a9,a5,a9),””)

         

        then do same in b7 but change the a5<a9
