The Cloudhead Live Rank (CLR) is a sort of worldwide Super Smash Bros. 4 Power Ranking System based on PGStats's Tournament Tier System, it is updated live during or after each ranked tournament.The Ranking is created by @Cloudhead_SSB.

Methods

It is the only worldwide Smash 4 Power Ranking System that's updated for the public to see after EVERY tournament.

All tournaments that are included in PGStats's Tournament Tier System are included in this ranking (Link to the TTS is the Pts. cell at the top left of the Results-Based PR). The top players from each tournament gain points for their performance:

• C (Green) = Top 8
• B (Yellow) = Top 16
• A (Orange) = Top 32
• A+ (Red-Orange) or S (Red) = Top 64

The points for each player are determined by Pts = x/√p, where x is the approximate amount of points that the TTS gives the tournament, and p is their placement. For example, a player placing fourth in a tournament given 1000 points on the TTS would receive 500 points on this ranking - √4 is 2, and 1000/2 is 500. Since the point values are not given outright by the TTS, we will be approximating the point values throughout the season based on the given tiers and entrants, and editing them as we obtain new information to work with.

Wins against PGR players are also considered. These bonus points are awarded as follows: Pts = (51 - Ro)*8, where Ro is the PGR ranking of the opponent. For example, scenarios that took place last season: when Salem took a set off of ScAtt (PGRv3 #41) at UNLOCKED, he got 80 bonus points ((51-41)*8). When MkLeo took a set off of ZeRo (PGRv2 #1) at the 2GG Championship, he got a whopping 400 bonus points for the victory. Note that a player will not receive any points for a PGR win if they themselves do not reach the top X players who receive points.

Finally, ONLY a player's best 6 tournament placings will count for their points; this way, a player can't move up the rankings continuously by continuously attending tournaments regardless of their performance.

The Panda Global & the PGStats crew helped making the TTS and PGR so it has something reliable to base this off.
