When you face a series of sport tables in a print product, the first thing to do is to build the list of cases, for which you will create appropriate formats and table types.

If you look at the screenshot in Examples of sport tables, you may notice that all the tables in that example have the similar structure: the first column with left aligned names, and the other columns with right-aligned results. All the table headers are in the same font as the results.

The differences are:

•The total width of the tables vary.

•The width of the first column vary.

•The fonts and type sizes vary: each combination requires a separate format.

•The number of result columns vary: from 2 columns to 7 columns.

•Column headers vary: each requires a separate table style. Follows the list of the headers in the example:

•Result columns width vary: some columns require space for 3 digits, other for 2, other for 1. Each combination requires a separate table type.

•The first column have trailing dots or not.

•In sequences of sport tables, some tables have the same number of columns.
