Weighted Win Count

Like Win Count, but each match carries an importance weight, so a final counts for more than a warm-up.

sum(importance_weight for each win)

Best at

Tournaments and playoffs where the stakes genuinely vary.

Where it misleads

Needs someone to set those weights. Without them it is Win Count with extra steps.

How it works

Weighted Win Count multiplies each win by the match's importance weight. A win in a championship final counts more than a casual practice match.

How it works: Each match can have an importance weight (e.g., 1.0 for normal, 2.0 for playoffs, 3.0 for finals). Your score is the sum of weights for matches you won.

When to use it: Tournament structures, playoff brackets, or any context where some matches carry higher stakes. It naturally creates a narrative around clutch performances.

Watch out for: Requires importance weights to be assigned to matches, which adds setup complexity. Without weights, it behaves identically to Win Count.
