How it works Under a minute
Average Score ranks by points per game rather than total points. It's the rate-based counterpart to Points Total.
How it works: Total points divided by games played. A minimum games threshold can filter out players with too few matches.
When to use it: When participation varies and you want to compare per-game performance fairly. Good for leagues where some players skip rounds.
Watch out for: Small sample sizes create volatility. Set a minimum games threshold to ensure statistical reliability.
