Skill Rating - Advanced

Advanced Breakdown

This page will go into further detail about the breakdown of how Skill Rating is calculated and some of the variables of the system.

Tournament Score

TS is a measure of your efficiency in selecting high performing players in this particular Tournament:

Only your top 11 Players Performance Points during a tournament count towards your TS score.

This means you do not have to heavily optimise your squad for a particular tournament. If players don’t help your score, they don’t hurt it either.

All your players will earn a Tournament Score, so players who finish 7th or 8th for example can make a good contribution to your score. However, players that finish in the top 5 get boosted. The boost applied is after the base score the player got:

• 1st = ×2

• 2nd = ×1.5

• 3rd to 5th = ×1.25

Here's an example Tournament Squad + Adjusted Performance Points

Player	Performance Points
Mbappe	200	1st	x2	400
Haaland	150	2nd	x1.5	225
Maguire	200	1st	x2	400
Doué	125	3rd	x1.25	156.25
Onana	100	3rd	x1.25	125
Damsgaard	25	22nd	None	25
Kepa	10	32nd	None	10
TOTAL:	810			1341.25

Players who are sold after they enter the pitch still count towards a user’s Adjusted Performance Points total.

Eligibility

As mentioned above, the system is calculated on the top 11 performances in your squad.

To count towards TS, the player you own shares in must:

• Be in your Active Squad

• Have an active contract before their match

• Be held before they enter the pitch and actually play

Any purchased player shares after kick off are excluded.

You should aim to have at least 5 contracted players in your squad. If you are below this threshold, you still receive Tournament Score, but it will be scaled down by 0.5x.

Substitutions

There was a dominant tactic during the beta of rotating and trading players in the middle of a tournament. We want to retain the essence, but also adjust it so there's still more skill to your decisions and can't just be a brute force play method.

You get 18 free subs per tournament. This triggers PER transaction.

When trading player shares of someone after a match has begun or once a player has already played, and the tournament is still ongoing, a Substitution event is triggered and Skill Rating (SR) penalties start to apply:

• 19-21 subs: SR x 0.9

• 22-24 subs: SR x 0.75

• 25+ subs: SR x0.3

Selling shares in players who make up <5% of your investment in the current tournament won't trigger a substitution.

There will always be a warning on the trade window to make you aware if a Sub event will or will not trigger.

Skill Points / Skill Leaderboard

Each week, a pool of Skill Points is distributed based on your weekly Tournament Score.

The key rules are:

• Bottom 25% of users by Tournament Score are excluded

• Skill Points is awarded based on:

  • Your Tournament Score of the total eligible players

  • Your gold commitment size (if you hold larger amounts of shares, you earn more SP for the picks than someone who had the same picks but smaller size)

• Having over 50% of your squad value in one player, will give you a 50% nerf on Skill Points.

Skill Points (SP) are a reward currency earned based on your performance TS each week.

They can be spent to promote players from the Development Pool to your Main Squad, thereby making them eligible for Tournaments and tradable..

Example: Player A vs Player B

• If Player A has a squad of 5 players, and all 5 players was in the top 5 selections.

  • Player A is seen as high skill.

  • They made less picks to hit good outcomes.

• If Player B has a squad of 50 players, and also had only 5 players in the top 5 selections.

  • Player B is seen as less skilful than Player A.

  • They had more decisions not hit good outcomes.
