How Standings Work
Standings track performance across all games in a tournament. During pool play, teams or players accumulate stats such as wins, points scored, and points allowed. The primary metric used to rank participants is usually wins, but this can vary depending on the tournament format and the director's configuration.
Standings update in real time on the live dashboard as scorekeepers enter results. You can check your current position at any point during the tournament.
Tiebreaker Hierarchy
When two or more teams or players are tied on the primary ranking metric, tiebreakers determine who ranks higher. The tournament director sets the tiebreaker order for each tournament, and you can see the configured order on the tournament detail page.
Tiebreakers are applied in order. If the first tiebreaker does not resolve the tie, the next one is checked, and so on down the list.
Wins
Total number of games won.
Win Percentage
Wins divided by total games played. This accounts for situations where teams or players have played an unequal number of games.
Point Differential
Total points scored minus total points allowed. A positive differential means you scored more than your opponents overall.
Points For
Total points scored across all games.
Points Against
Total points allowed across all games. Lower is better, as it means your opponents scored fewer points against you.
Head-to-Head
The result of the direct matchup between the tied teams or players. If two teams are tied and they played each other, the winner of that game ranks higher.
Level Reached
Used in the Level Up format. The highest level a team attained during the tournament. Teams that climbed further rank higher.
Scoring Attribution
Scoring attribution determines how stats are assigned depending on the tournament format. There are three modes:
Solo (Individual)
Your personal stats are tracked across all games regardless of which team you are on. Used in Shuffle and Breakup & Makeup formats where teams change between rounds. Your wins, points scored, and other metrics follow you no matter who your teammates are.
Pair
Stats are tracked for you and your partner together as a unit. Used when pairs stay together throughout the tournament but combine with different players to form larger teams. The pair shares a combined record.
Team
Stats belong to the whole team. Used in the Standard format where teams are drafted and stay fixed for the entire tournament. Every player on the team shares the same record.
Leaderboard & Live Dashboard
The leaderboard shows current standings during and after the tournament. Players can view it on the tournament's leaderboard page or on the live dashboard. Scores update in real time as scorekeepers enter them, so you always have an up-to-date view of the rankings.
Where to find it: Navigate to any tournament page and look for the leaderboard tab, or visit the live dashboard directly. The leaderboard is publicly accessible to all tournament participants.
Season Filtering
On the player stats page, you can filter standings and stats by season. This lets you compare performance within a specific season rather than viewing all-time totals. Select a season from the filter dropdown to narrow results.
