GAME GUIDES
Career tournament entry and rankings
You can improve your player’s rating in camp and still see a tournament marked Locked. Training develops skills. Tournament results earn the ranking points that open higher tiers.
Where can an unranked player enter?
Look for Open entry in Schedule. Future Series, International Series, International Challenge and Super 100 events are open to your rookie. To enter, go to Home → Continue → Play during the event’s week, select it and choose Enter tournament.
The World Junior Championships offer a different route. They run in the first full week of October and accept players under 20, including unranked players. Your rookie starts at 18, so you have two seasons to enter. Finishing a junior tournament with at least one played match earns General XP based on how far you reach.
Check the entry cutoff
- Super 300 requires a world rank of 256 or better.
- Super 500 requires the top 128.
- Super 750 requires the top 96.
- Super 1000 requires the top 80.
- World Championships requires the top 64.
The Finals select eight eligible players in ranking order, with at most two per country. This means a player just outside the top eight can qualify if higher-ranked players are unavailable or their country has already filled its places.
How the standings count your results
A deeper run and a higher tournament tier are worth more points. Career counts results from a rolling 364-day window, measured from each event’s start date. Your best result in that window counts in full. Your second-best counts at 75%, and each subsequent result gets three quarters of the weight of the one before it.
For example, a Super 100 quarter-final finish earns 360 points and a third-round finish at another Super 100 earns 180. If those are your only two results, the full 360 plus 135 from the second result gives you 495 points. Your rank can move during a rest week as opponents finish events and older results expire.
