🏆 How DeltaCrown Ranking Works
Transparent, verifiable, and fair competitive rankings
✅ What Counts Toward Your Ranking
1. Verified Match Wins
Competitive matches that have been confirmed by your opponent or verified by admins.
- Confirmed by Opponent: 100% weight (HIGH confidence)
- Admin Verified: 100% weight (HIGH confidence)
- Unconfirmed with Evidence: 70% weight (MEDIUM confidence)
- Unconfirmed without Evidence: 30% weight (LOW confidence)
2. Tournament Participation
Placement in official DeltaCrown tournaments contributes significantly to your ranking.
- Tournament Win: Major score boost (typically 500+ points)
- Top Placements: Scored based on position and tournament tier
❌ What Does NOT Count
• Disputed Matches: If your opponent disputes the result, it has 0% weight until admin review
• Rejected Reports: Matches marked as invalid/fraudulent by admins
• Self-Reported Matches (PENDING): Until verified, they only contribute partial weight
• Casual/Scrim Matches: Practice matches don't affect ranked standing
🔢 How Scores Are Calculated
Your ranking score is calculated per-game using this formula:
Example (League of Legends):
- 10 verified match wins × 10 points × 1.0 (HIGH) = 100 points
- 1 tournament win × 500 points = 500 points
- Decay penalty (30+ days inactive) = -50 points
- Total Score: 550 points
Per-Game vs. Global Ranking:
- Per-Game Ranking: Your standing in a specific game (e.g., LOL, Valorant)
- Global Ranking: Sum of all your per-game scores across all games
- Multi-game teams can climb global leaderboards faster
🎖️ Ranking Tiers
Your score determines your tier. Tier thresholds vary by game but typically follow this pattern:
📊 Confidence Levels
Your ranking confidence indicates how established your rating is:
Note: Only verified matches (CONFIRMED or ADMIN_VERIFIED) count toward confidence levels. Pending matches don't increase confidence until verified.
⏰ Inactivity Decay
To keep rankings current, inactive teams experience score decay:
- Threshold: 30 days without a match in a game
- Decay Rate: Small penalty per day of inactivity
- Prevention: Play at least one ranked match per month to stay current
- Recovery: Decay stops immediately when you resume playing
💡 Tip: Keep your team active with regular matches to maintain your hard-earned ranking!
