How the Rankings Work

Boards are computed from verified event results, frozen weekly, and released by DRSPORTZ. Here is exactly how points and ratings are earned.

Publication & Approval

Every board moves through a controlled workflow — computed from verified event results, reviewed, and approved by DRSPORTZ before it is published. Until a board is approved and published, no ranking is official. Each published board freezes the exact methodology configuration used to produce it, so any ranking can be traced back to the results and the rules that generated it.
