Ranking points

Tournated allows league managers to configure an unlimited number of ranking categories and set up their own ranking points systems.

To set up rankings, first create a "Points Block" (you can have as many blocks as needed). Blocks are essentially combinations of multiple categories, so if you have the same points system for multiple categories, you don't need to create a separate system for each.

Creation of "Points block" explained

When creating a block, you need to specify the block's name (this is for internal use, so it can be anything) and select the categories associated with the block.

You can also set up additional rules and apply a multiplier based on the number of entries in the category. For example, if the entries for a tournament category are less than 8, you can set the points to be multiplied by 0.8 (in this case, participants will receive 20% fewer points due to the lack of participants).

Once you click submit, the table will be initiated, and you will be able to add points for all places.

Adding positions (points, rows) explained

First, for automation purposes, you need to identify the segment (Main, Consolation, or Qualification) and the bracket type (Singles or Doubles Elimination, Single Elimination with Groups, Live Standings, or Manual Entry).

Next, specify the number of positions you want to add. Then, enter the position (place), the number of points, and the number of entries.

Note: The number of entries determines how many players share the same position. For example, in the case of a quarterfinal (QF) or positions 5-8 (players who lost in the quarterfinals), the number of entries would be 4. This ensures that the system correctly assigns four players to that position.
