Confirmed abuse of the report system or violations of our code of conduct will result in significant penalties to your reputation, as outlined above.

Skill Score: Prove Your Prowess

Your Skill Score is a direct reflection of your competitive performance. It adjusts after every match based on the outcome and the skill level of your opponent.

Elo-Based Rating System

Our platform uses a sophisticated Elo-based rating system to calculate a Skill Score for every player and team. This system ensures that you are matched against opponents of similar skill levels, creating more engaging and competitive matches. Your score adjusts after every competitive match, providing a dynamic and accurate reflection of your current ability.

Team-Based Scoring

For team matches, the system calculates an average Skill Score for your entire roster and pits it against the opposing team's average. The resulting Elo point adjustment is then applied equally to every player on the winning and losing teams, rewarding the collective team effort.

Scoring in Race Leagues

Race leagues use a two-part scoring system to reward both individual race performance and overall championship consistency.

League Points: After each race, you earn points for the league table based on your finishing position (e.g., 25 for 1st, 18 for 2nd). These points are used *only* to determine your final standing in that specific event's championship.
Skill Score (Elo): Separately, your global Skill Score is adjusted after *every single race*. The Elo calculation compares your rating against the average skill of all other drivers in that race, rewarding you more for high placements against a strong field.

vs. Cross-Platform Play

To ensure fairness in cross-play matchups, our Elo system applies a handicap to account for the advantages of different input devices. In a PC vs. Console scenario, the PC player(s) are treated as having a slightly higher Skill Score for the calculation, ensuring that the final Elo adjustment accurately reflects a fair, competitive outcome regardless of hardware.

Tournament Placement Bonuses

In addition to match-by-match adjustments, you can earn significant Skill Score bonuses by placing high in score-based events. Event organisers set a total 'Skill Score Reward' for their tournament, which is then distributed to the top players based on the event's prize distribution percentages. This allows for customised and meaningful rewards for every competition.
