The main command is the <nowiki>{{#invoke:Sports table|main|style=WDL}}</nowiki> statement which basically calls the module and enables you to set everything up. Then you list the positions of the teams as {{para|team1}}, {{para|team2}}, etc for however many teams you need in the table. You can use full team names there <u>without spaces</u> if you want, but using codes (as in the example) can make it easier. For each team you now define the wins, draws, losses, goals for and goals against by using {{para|win_TTT}}, {{para|draw_TTT}}, {{para|loss_TTT}}, {{para|gf_TTT}} and {{para|ga_TTT}} respectively (with TTT replaced by the team code). If you do not define these numbers, it is automatically assumed to be 0. It is good practice though to include them anyway and to align the columns using appropriate spaces (as in the example), so the code is easy to read. The last step now is to define the {{para|name_TTT}} parameters which determine what name is shown in the table, you can use wiki markup and templates in here as well. See [[#Dating]] to see how to change the update date.

The {{para|showteam}} parameter is automatically forwarded from a template call (see [[#Team highlighting and partial table]]); the {{para|only_pld_pts}} is automatically forwarded to truncated tables, (see [[#Appearance]]); the {{para|show_matches}} is automatically forwarded to control match result visibility, see [[#Matches]].
