There are occasions in which it may be preferable to enter all match data corresponding to one row using one parameter.

Using the {{para|matchrow_XXX}} parameter, only one parameter is needed for the match data per row, rather than a number of parameters equal to the number of players per row. Note that {{para|matchrow_XXX}} data is comma separated, with each value between commas equal to the previously discussed {{para|match_XXX_YYY}} data, with the addition of data for the main diagonal. This value for the main diagonal is a dummy value which is never used and only exists to line matches up so that parameter inputs are easier to read. The dummy value is needed even for the two player special case, when no main diagonal is displayed in the crosstable. For this reason, it is advised that {{para|matchrow_XXX}} not be used in competitions with only 2 players. Additionally, if you use {{para|matchrow_XXX}}, then all match data needs to be changed each time you change the rank of any player. With {{para|match_XXX_YYY}}, no data needs to be changed when re-ordering players. For this reason, it is advised that {{para|matchrow_XXX}} only be used in already completed tournaments, where there is no possibility of changing the order of players.
The parameter {{para|bgcolrow_XXX}} works similarly to {{para|matchrow_XXX}} in that the data is comma separated, except that each value between commas equal to the previously discussed {{para|bgcol_XXX_YYY}} data.
