How it works About 1 min read
Game Champion Count ranks players by how many individual games they lead in win rate (or another base metric). In a group that plays Catan, Chess, and Ticket to Ride, the player who has the best win rate in the most games ranks highest.
How it works: For each game played in the group, calculate every player's win rate (minimum match threshold applies). The player with the highest win rate for that game is the "champion." Your ranking score is the number of games you champion. Ties at the game level can split the championship.
When to use it: Perfect for groups that play a wide variety of games. It answers the question "who's the most versatile?" — someone who dominates one game but is mediocre at everything else will score lower than a well-rounded player who leads in several games.
Watch out for: Requires enough matches per game to be meaningful. A player who played one match of an obscure game and won could "champion" that game with 100% win rate. Use minimum match thresholds to prevent this. Also naturally favors players who participate in more games (more chances to be champion).
