You can use the code tab to get a monospaced font which can help retain layout

Code:
column1     column2
a           b
a           b
a           b

Or you can use a table tag to make an actual table:

col 1col 2
ab
ab
ab

The 3 buttons above the 3 rank cards will make a table, a new row and a new cell.

Press the quote button to see how it's done.

Then give up and post the messed up formatting! :P

aha chimpy but....

wot about calculating the new totals (currently manually)
and then cut/pasting individuals up/down the league to reflex total score

and then there's the (potentially) numerous updates that need applying to the individuals for each and every fantasy team

and then there the current  month table

all in all if the league tables were all in a linked spready it could do all the calcs automatically, then sort by score then copy/paste into blonde
gotta be easier imo
