Contest Leaderboard
The Contest leaderboard is a performance ranking of all players who registered for a specific Contest. Performance rankings are based on the percent gain of each player. There are two states of the Contest leaderboard – Live and Final.
- Live: The Contest is active, and the player’s rank changes as plays are made and resolved.
- Final: The Contest is resolved, and the player’s rank is finalized.
Rankings – Individual
Individual Rankings are performance rankings of all players who match a set of demographic qualities (e.g., geographic location or Avantage League affiliation). They are distinct from Contest Leaderboards and Avantage League Rankings. Players can only access individual rankings to which they belong.
Rankings distribute players to tiers in a scattered way. Tiers are the five levels in which all players are grouped based on their relevant % Gain. The five tiers and their distributions (top to bottom) are as follows:
- Diamond 6.7%
- Platinum 24.2%
- Gold 38.2%
- Silver 24.2%
- Bronze 6.7%
