Points Table & Ratings

Ranking points, ratings, and all associated info will be regularly updated. The rating table tabulates only player performances in the past 2 competitions for each title. For the King of Force competition, this means how the table looks at the moment once a title match has concluded. For independent rated games, only results from the past 2 years will be included.

Table last updated: January 21st 2022, 18:00 UTC

Potential increase listed in red

Rankings List Tiebreakers:

1. More ranking points.
2. More main titles held (Daimyō, Bosatsu, Seiō).
3. More lesser titles held (Phoenix, Raijin, CSL Open, CSL Masters)
4. Higher Daimyō League placement.
5. Better head-to-head performance (last 2 years).
6. Better head-to-head performance (lifetime).
7. Higher rating (rounded to nearest tenth).

Ranking points are updated, if a following condition is met:

• advancement in a knockout tournament (potential IRG adjustment)
• achieved new guaranteed minimum placement in round-robin tournament
• guaranteed IRG score
• deduction for non-participation without due prior notice, proportionate to amount of games not duly played, relative to what points would otherwise be awarded
• deduction for violation of rules of conduct

Actual participation is required in a tournament/round to win ranking points for that tournament/round.

When a tournament result replaces the result in that tournament from 2 years ago, that calculation is done per round for the matching round. If the number of rounds is inconsistent, then the number of rounds away from the potential final round shall be taken. The relevant calculation is done as an addition/subtraction for the points earned only in that round.

For round-robin tournaments, updates are only done when either: the minimum potential score exceeds the score from 2 years ago; or the maximum potential score becomes lower than the score from 2 years ago.

Seeds for King of Force participants are locked in 24 hours after the final title match game has been completed.

The ratings used to do postgame rating change calculations are the players' ratings at the time when the game has concluded. If a player has finished multiple rated games within 1 day of each other, those games will retroactively be taken together and consider the same initial rating.

Example: Player A (rated 1300, k=40) wins a game against Player B (rated 1270) on day 1 at 00:00 , loses a game against Player C (rated 1340) on day 1 at 08:00, and wins a game against Player D (rated 1200) on day 2 at 06:00. Games 1 and 2 are calculated together, but games 2 and 3 must also be calculated together. To avoid double-counting, the average change for a single game is used if counted multiple times. 

• Game 1: R 1300, Xscore 0.543, change +18.277
• Game 2: R 1300 Xscore 0.443, change -17.708
• Game 2: R 1318.277, Xscore 0.469, change -18.751
• Game 3: R 1318.277, Xscore 0.664, change +13.443
• Game 3: R 1305.569, Xscore 0.647, change +14.103
• Total change: G1 +18.277, G2(avg) -18.229, G3(avg) +13.773; new rating = 1313.821

For a title match, all games will use the ratings of the players at the time of the first title match game to officially conclude.

Provisional ratings can freely be changed by @dax00 for any player with 0 or 1 recorded rated games. Once a player has recorded 2 rated games, their rating is locked in and can only be changed through play. If you wish to contest a provisional rating, please send a private message to discuss.
