How it works Under a minute
Points Total ranks by the cumulative score accumulated across all matches. It's the raw total without any normalization or averaging.
How it works: Sum all scores from all matches. The player with the highest total leads.
When to use it: For score-based games where total output matters -- like bowling leagues or Scrabble tournaments where lifetime points are a badge of honor.
Watch out for: Heavily favors players who play more matches. Not fair for comparing players with different participation levels.
