Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Matchball – Standings & Tables for SAMS version 3.0.1 as active, updated 17d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Matchball – Standings & Tables for SAMS provides two Gutenberg blocks for sports websites:
Standings block (league table)
Results block (finished matches)
Data is fetched from a SAMS API source and cached via WordPress transients. A 5-minute WP-Cron sync keeps data fresh, while fallback cache protects frontend output during API issues.

External service usage:
This plugin connects to a SAMS REST API endpoint configured by the site administrator.
The official SAMS REST API documentation is published by the provider at: https://wiki.sams-server.de/wiki/REST-API-Schnittstelle
According to the provider documentation, API keys are issued by the relevant association support contact for intended API access.
Requests include an API key in the HTTP header X-Api-Key.
The provider documents a general rate limit of 5 requests per second and a daily limit per key. The plugin reduces request volume by using transients and a 5-minute sync interval.
No visitor personal data is transmitted by default.
Service terms and privacy:
Use of the external SAMS service is subject to the policies and operating rules of the respective association or operator.
Site administrators are responsible for using valid API credentials and complying with the provider rules for the configured endpoint.
