How it works About 1 min read
Placement Occurrence tracks the count of each finishing position: how many 1sts, 2nds, 3rds, etc. It's the FFA equivalent of a medal table.
How it works: For each match, increment the counter for your finishing position. Rankings are sorted lexicographically: most 1sts first, then most 2nds as tiebreaker, etc.
When to use it: When you want a detailed breakdown of where players typically finish, not just a single number. Great for tournaments where the full placement distribution tells the story.
Watch out for: Produces a multi-stat output that's harder to display in a single column. Best for contexts where you have space for the full breakdown.
