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.
