# Ranking categories

{% hint style="info" %}
Similar to tournament categories, ranking categories setup is highly flexible and offers multiple customization options.
{% endhint %}

## General settings

Specify the title, select the category/categories to be counted, and assign the number of best results to be counted (leave it blank if there is no limit). If you want to count specific tournaments in the rankings, enable the corresponding checkbox and select the tournaments from the list (associated with the league).

## Additional rules

In additional rules, you can set a specific limit on the number of best results counted per category and connect third-party licenses/tours with defined multipliers.
