How ranking points work

Every point on the ranking comes from this formula. Nothing else is added by hand.

What counts

A result scores only when the tournament, the season, and the result are approved, and the result is verified.

Pending, removed, and unverified results score nothing. A player scores only through an approved public profile that is not a demo. A name typed on a roster does not rank by itself.

The same player is counted once on a result, even if the roster and a player link both name that profile. Teams are grouped by name across seasons.

Placement and level

Points = placement × level weight × recency, rounded to two decimals.

1st or champion
10
2nd or finalist

Medium, or handicap 8–14
× 3
Low goal, or any other handicap
× 1
No level and no handicap
× 1, and only in Any level

Recency

The date is the season end. If there is no end date, we use the start. If neither exists, we use 1 July of the first year in the season. A future date still counts in full.

The last 12 months count in full. Months 13 through 24 count at half. Older seasons, and seasons with no date, count at a quarter.

The 12-month and 24-month windows hide the older lines. All recorded seasons keeps them at a quarter. The default table is the last 24 months.

Excluded results

An admin can leave a result off the ranking. The reason stays on the record and is not published. The result can still appear on its tournament page.
