At the start of a new season, all points will be reset to “0”. Rankings shall be updated following the conclusion of each tournament by adding the results of the latest tournament.

Starting with the 2027 Season, the Medal Race will be re-branded “XRace”. With all three “Majors” (then “XMajors”) being played simultaneously, rankings will be updated after each even-numbered counted single game and following the conclusion of each tournament.

At the end of the season, the leader of the Medal Race (soon “XRace”) will be declared “(X)Player Of The Year” and have the right to choose allied colours for the upcoming new XSeason. The other players will have to switch positions with regard to the succession of play and be allocated allied colours accordingly.


For the 2026 Season, the rulings of the World Rankings apply to the Medal Race.

Starting with the 2027 XSeason the following will apply.

XPoints (XP) are combined by tournament points (TP) and winner points (WP).

Tournament Points (TP):
TP are the Basic Points (BP) multiplied by the respective tournament’s level:

  • 1st place: 7 BP * tournament level
  • 2nd place (at least 1 WP): 4 BP * tournament level
  • 3rd place or 0 WP: 2 BP * tournament level

Winner Points (WP) – Championship & Masters:
1 WP is scored by the winner of a single counted game.

Winner Points (WP) – Grand Prix Series:
1 WP is scored by the player finishing a single counted game with the most GPP. In case of a tie, the WP is won by the player finishing their best colour in first place.12

Ties are broken by the following criteria (among the triple-threat ranking tournaments considered by the current World Rankings):

  1. accrued Tournament Points (TP)
  2. accrued Winner Points (WP)
  3. total number of “Majors” won
  4. World Championship won
  5. accrued Grand Prix Points (GPP of all GP games)
  6. quickness of victory (victorious 3T/3T+ game times accrued; full minutes only)

  1. In 2025, the WP was shared between tied players at 0.5 each. ↩︎
  2. Before 2025, 1 WP was scored by each of the tied players. ↩︎
