Rules Summary

  • Target score: choose 11, 15, 17, 19, 21, or 25. Win by 1 (default) or win by 2.
  • Rally scoring: every rally earns a point (optional — can disable).

Serving

  • Rally scoring: every rally awards one point to the rally winner.
  • Serving order: teams may decide their serving order before each game.

Movement

  • After each round: players are ranked and reassigned to courts.
  • Top group: best 4 players go to the top court.
  • Ladder flow: next 4 go to the next court, continuing downward.

Movement Modes & Basis

Movement Mode controls the sort formula used to rank players:

  • Excel Points / KOTC Points (default): Ranks by total points scored first. Matches the spreadsheet-style MLP KOTC sheet behavior. Court and seed are used as tie-breakers only.
  • Non-weighted Differential: Ranks everyone globally by point differential first, then wins and points scored, regardless of starting court. More aggressive movement.
  • Weighted Ladder: Court level matters first, then round performance. Players climb or drop based on results, but higher courts retain value. Best for next-week seeding continuity.

Movement Basis controls which stats are used as the data source:

  • Previous Round Only (default): Next courts are built from the last completed round's results only. Overall Session Stats is a leaderboard only.
  • Overall Session Standings: Next courts are built from cumulative totals across all rounds. The Overall leaderboard directly drives court assignment.

Stats Tracked
