Circuits, scoring, and leaderboards

A circuit turns the results of several events into one leaderboard: a store season, a regional series, or a qualification path into a championship.

The circuit workspace has Scoring, Events, and Leaderboard under CIRCUIT, plus Circuit Page and Staff under MANAGE.

Create a circuit

1. Organizer Dashboard → Create → Circuit.
2. Enter the Circuit name and its start and end dates.
3. Create circuit.
4. Open it from Circuits & conventions on the Dashboard.

Configure scoring

Scoring is built from point groups. Each group is one way of earning points, and a player's total is every group added up.

Add point group, then pick its Scoring source:

• Placement points awards points by final rank. Enter the table as placement: points lines, one per line, and ranges are allowed: 1: 10, 2-4: 6, 5-8: 3.
• Standings metric carries a value out of the event's standings, such as Match Points, into the circuit.
• Game score scores off game results, with Points per win and Points per draw.

Each group also takes:

• Minimum attendance limits the group to events with at least that many players, so a six-person weekly does not pay like a Regional.
• Across events sets how the group's contributions combine: Sum, Average, or Best N with a count. Best N is how you run "your best four results count".
• Stack with other structures decides whether this group adds on top of the others for the same event.

A custom event points table set on a single event replaces the ordinary placement group for that event only. Game-record and standings-metric groups still add to it. That is how you make one event in the season worth double without touching the season-wide rules.

Set tie breakers

Tie breakers apply in order after total points. Events played rewards showing up across more of the season; Best event rewards a single strong finish. If every selected value is still equal, the players share the rank.

Set qualification

• Qualify at a points threshold marks every player who reaches the Points threshold.
• Qualifying placements qualifies a set number of finishing positions.
• Cascade placement qualification passes a qualifying finish down to the next eligible player when the original finisher already qualified, so an invite is never wasted on someone who has one.

Preview · top 25 calculates the current standings from the settings on screen before you commit them. Use it: a scoring change is easy to reason about wrongly and obvious in the preview.

Save scoring stores the configuration. It does not recalculate the published board. Rebuild for that.

Add events

Add event either creates a new event inside the circuit or attaches an existing one. Search your events, or paste a TopDeck.gg event ID.

Each row's ⋮ menu holds Open manager, Event page, Bracket, QR code, Copy event link, Configuration, Set custom points, and Remove from Circuit. Removing an event from the circuit keeps the tournament and all its data.

Build the leaderboard

Finished events feed the board. Open Leaderboard and select Rebuild whenever you:

• change scoring
• attach a finished event
• correct results in a source event

The header shows when it was last rebuilt. Columns are rank, player, points, events, best event, best finish, and qualification. Search, filter by qualification, choose columns, and Export.

Results do not appear until the source event is finished. An event still Live or in Registration contributes nothing.

Adjust points by hand

Add adjustment puts a manual point change on one player, with a Reason. Adjustments are applied after calculated circuit points and kept in their own Point adjustment history, so a rebuild never erases them and anybody can see why a player has points the events do not explain.

Use it for a judge ruling, a make-good on a mispaired event, or points from something TopDeck.gg never scored.

Register qualifiers into the finale

From the leaderboard, select players and Register in event with a Target event, usually the championship. TopDeck.gg registers the selected accounts into that event and reports how many succeeded. Player contact list and Export selected give you the addresses if you would rather invite them yourself.

Publish the circuit page

Circuit Page holds the public name, dates, header image, and description. While it is a Draft, Staff preview is the only way in. Publish once scoring and public details are settled. The page shows the leaderboard, so publishing an unbuilt circuit shows an empty board.

Staff

Staff invites people to the circuit workspace. Circuit permissions govern the circuit only; access inside each attached event is still that event's own Staff section. See Staff roles and permissions.
