Everything below is how the league actually behaves, not how it is meant to. The numbers are the constants the server is running right now.

The game server records what happened and stops there. Rating is computed separately, from those records, which means the formula can change and the whole season can be replayed from the same rows.

Fixed numbers rather than percentiles, so a rank means the same thing in a league of twenty as in a league of two thousand. A rating has to clear a boundary by fifteen points before the rank changes, so nobody sitting on the line gets swapped back and forth.

One Elo exchange per freeze, wherever you landed it: the public Ladder and ranked matches both count. Public rounds add a delta for winning the round if you were actually in it. Ranked matches do not, because their result already moves the ranked rating below. Everybody starts at 1000. This is the number that appears beside your name in Discord and sets your rank.

Your rating is the number. Your rank is the name it earns you, and it is what appears beside you in Discord and on the scoreboard here. Eight of them, and you start outside all of them.

Nobody holds a rank until 50 duels are behind them, because a rating off ten duels is a guess.

Ranks do not flicker either. It takes 15 points clear of a boundary to move, so sitting on 1125 does not promote and demote you every other round.

Every ranked match runs on its own server, records a demo, and shuts itself down when it ends. The result and the full stat tables are posted within seconds. The roster is fixed when the match is created, so nobody can join it who was not in the queue.

Names are tracked whether or not they are linked to a Discord account, but only a linked name can hold a rank or enter ranked.

A clan tag typed into your client means nothing here. Membership is registered in Discord and stamped onto the match record when the match is created, so wearing somebody else's tag in game changes nothing at all. Founding one needs a linked name and thirty minutes on the Ladder.

Knockout brackets run on the same ranked pipeline as everything else: a match spawns its own server, the result is recorded rather than reported, and the demo is posted when it finishes. A bracket here is therefore the real thing and not a picture of one, which is why every match links to its own report.

Most of this is invisible until it happens to you. None of it needs setting up, none of it is a client mod, and all of it runs on all four public servers.

None of these can be handed out, and that is the whole point of them. Season achievements reset every quarter. Career ones never do, and are summed across every name your account has ever used, so changing your name does not cost you a decade of play.

Drawn from the map files themselves, by the same code that draws the movement on a match report, so what is below is the collision layer the server actually scores on and not a screenshot of it. Rock is dark, the spikes are in the colours they pay out in.

Installed and playable, not currently on any public server.

The players the league has removed and named. A ban takes somebody off the ladder, not out of the history, so the record below is the one they actually put up and it stays where anybody can read it.

Only cases somebody has watched and confirmed are named here. A ban made on the detector alone is still a ban and still permanent, and it is not put on this page: being reasonably sure is enough to remove somebody and not enough to name them. Addresses are never published, and neither is the working behind a decision. If you think this is wrong, the Discord link in the sidebar is where to say so, and the ban message in game says the same.

Seasons are calendar quarters, three months each, taken from the clock rather than stored anywhere. There is no rollover job to miss and no half migrated table on the first of January. What that means in practice is below.
