Point system

Scoring

Scores are calculated based off of placements, with higher tiered events offering more points for a wider range of placements. The following factors into the final score:

• Top 3 Platinum results
• Top 3 Gold results
• Best Super Silver result
• Top 6 Silver results

The top 30 players will move on to the championships, with a Last Chance Qualifier for the last 2 slots. Of the 30, the 1 player from each region with the highest amount of points will auto-qualify for the finale: North America, Central America, Europe, Japan, Oceania, South America, and a Wild Card Region comprising of every region not included in any of the other regions. The 23 highest players on the leaderboard who did not auto-qualify will make up the rest of the 30 who will move on to the championships.

The point system remained mostly the same from the 2020 iteration, however an additional Silver category, titled "Super Silver," was added. To qualify for a Silver category, a tournament needs a certain amount of entrants:

Game	Regions	Silver entrants
		Super	4	3	2	1
	NA	200	64	48	32	16
	All Other Regions	100	48	32	24	16
	NA, EU, Japan	450	128	96	64	32
	All Other Regions	200	64	48	32	16

Placement	Platinum score	Gold score	Silver score
			Super	4	3	2	1
1st	800	400	275	100	70	45	25
2nd	675	300	200	70	45	25	10
3rd	525	220	125	45	25	10	5
4th	400	150	70	25	10	5	1
5th	300	100	45	10	5	1	—
7th	220	70	25	5	1	—	—
9th	150	45	10	1	—	—	—
13th	100	25	5	—	—	—	—
17th	70	10	1	—	—	—	—
25th	45	5	—	—	—	—	—
33rd	25	1	—	—	—	—	—
49th	10	—	—	—	—	—	—
65th	5	—	—	—	—	—	—
97th	1	—	—	—	—	—	—

If two or more players on the leaderboard have the same number of points, the tie in rank will be resolved by applying the following tiebreakers in order:

1. Total number of points earned from their best 3 Platinum tournaments
2. Total number of points earned from their best 3 Gold tournaments
3. Average points earned per Platinum tournament attended
4. Average points earned per Gold tournament attended
5. Number of Super Silver and Silver tournaments attended
6. Total number of set wins in matches between tied players across all events in the league
7. Coin flip
