How are the standings determined at the end of each round or event?
HCUnits uses a few different calculations to determine tiebreakers and eventually
determine standings within the Swiss rounds of Events.
-
Wins: The players with the most wins will be at the top of the
standings. As per the
General Tournament Rules,
Byes count as Wins.
-
Score: After wins, ties will be broken based on players who
scored the most cumulative points throughout their matches. Byes are
typically worth 150 points, but this may change based on the discrection
of the event organizers.
-
Opponent Win Percentage: The next two tiebreakers are based on
how well your opponent played in the event, thus giving a small
advantage to those who played more successful opponents.
The first of these is the win percentage of your opponents, calculated
as:
Opponent Win % = (Sum of Each Opponents Win Percentage) / Number of opponents
Additionally, each opponent's win percentage cannot be lower than 30% and
byes are not used in this calculation.
-
Average Opponent Score: The last tiebreaker is average of your
opponents scores, calculated as:
Avg Opponent Score = (Sum of Each Opponents Scores) / Number of opponents
Byes are not used in this calculation.
Each of these calculations is visible within the Round or Overall Standings
pages of the Event. The Wins/Losses and Cumulative Score values are
immediately visible, while the Opponent Win Percentage and Average Opponent
Score values are found in a tooltip while mousing over the player rank.
How are the standings determined for Battle Royales?
For every Battle Royale event they played during a Circuit, players receive
points based on how they placed. The amount they earned is as such:
- 1st Place: 6 points
- 2nd Place: 4 points
- 3rd Place: 2 points
- 4th Place: 1 point
If players within a Battle Royale event are tied, first place is determined
by a roll-off, thus at most one person will receive 6 points. For the other
places, they will be considered a tie and will receive the points for the
place they tied for.
For example, if two players tie for 2nd place, they will both receive 4
points, while the 4th place player will still receive only 1.
These points are cumulative across the entire Circuit and are summed to
determine which player is the Battle Royale Champion. If multiple players
have the same number of BR Points, ties will be broken by the total victory
points they scored across all the Battle Royale events they played.
