Rankings

What goes into creating the team rankings?
At Grassroots 365, we do our very best to make sure that we do our due diligence when forming our team rankings. Honesty and integrity are at the core of our decision making.

In an effort to be more transparent with our rankings criteria, we would like to share more information with you:

  • Open Gym Premier (OGP) and Grassroots 365 (G365) tournament results are exclusively weighted in the team rankings
  • Within the G365 Circuit, the Cup events are weighted most heavily, followed by super regional events, and finally qualifying events (in that order)
  • The higher levels of competitive divisions are usually the focus of the rankings. Open and Gold division teams are more likely to be ranked than teams playing in Silver, Bronze, or Copper.
  • Final tournament standings as well as head to head results are used to determine placement within the rankings
  • Most importantly, we do our best to observe the games. Our staff is present at all tournaments and we make a point to familiarize ourselves with the teams and watch them play.

Flow
