ELO Rankings Have Arrived! (Beta Launch)
After nearly two months in development, we’re proud to launch the South Pacific War Gaming ELO Ranking System, available through the ‘Leaderboard’ tab at the top of the page, or by clicking here.
This platform allows players to track their rankings as a result of evolving and competitive results across several custom leaderboards:
🎖️ Overall Rankings
🧍 Singles Events
👥 Teams Events
🛡️ Faction-Specific Rankings
Each player also has access to a personalised profile card, showing their statistics on a leaderboard-by-leaderboard basis.
⚠️ Please note: this is still a work in progress!
Currently, the games data-base includes events dating back to May 2024 (a year from when this started development), and has some games data from Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT, and NT. We hope to continue expanding the player and games database as we continue to make the ELO Ranking System as good as it can be!
Some bugs and visual quirks are still being ironed out, and your feedback is very welcome. If you spot an issue or have a suggestion, don’t hesitate to get in touch via the site’s About Us page.
