1. First of all, navigate to Ninja Tables in your WordPress dashboard’s sidebar. Here, click over All Tables and then click on the Add Table button.

2. Next, give a name and description to the table.

3. Click on the Add Column button to create columns. Then add columns to the table by naming and setting their data types in the pop-up window. Such as columns named Points, Matches Played need to have the data types as Numeric Values. And the column Team Name needs to have Single Line Text Field/Text Area/HTML Field as the data type.

8. Additionally, customize the tables and make them more user-friendly by adjusting the table configurations.
