How It Works

Everything you need to know about Experience Points (XP), levels, and how leaderboard rankings are computed.

🎯 Experience Points (XP)

Every match you play earns you XP. XP accumulates over time and determines your level and rank on the leaderboard. The more you play and win, the faster you climb!

XP Earned Per Match

Win a Match

Any game mode or match type

+20 XP

Lose a Match

You still earn XP for playing!

+8 XP
🔥

3-Win Streak Bonus

Win 3 matches in a row

+10 XP
🔥

5-Win Streak Bonus

Win 5+ matches in a row

+20 XP

Example: If you win a match and it's your 3rd consecutive win, you earn 20 XP (win) + 10 XP (streak bonus) = 30 XP total. If it's your 5th+ win in a row, that's 20 + 20 = 40 XP total for that match!

🏅 Levels & Progression

As you accumulate XP, you progress through 100 unique levels across 10 tiers. Each level has a pickleball-themed title and badge that appears next to your name on the leaderboard.

🏆 Community Leaderboard

The Community Leaderboard ranks all players across the entire Gensan Pickleballers community, regardless of which organizer ran the session.

How Rankings Are Calculated

1

Primary Sort: Total XP

Players are ranked by their all-time XP earned from every match played across all sessions.

2

Stats Tracked

Total wins, losses, games played, win rate, best win streak, and total play time.

3

Skill Level Filter

You can filter by skill level (Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert) to compare against players at your level.

4

Real-Time Updates

Stats are updated every time an organizer syncs their session data to the cloud.

Data sources: The community leaderboard aggregates match data from ALL organizers and sessions. It represents your full pickleball journey within the Gensan Pickleballers community.

🎪 Organizer Leaderboard

Each OP Organizer has their own separate leaderboard that only includes matches played during their sessions.

How It Differs From Community

Community Leaderboard

  • All matches from all organizers
  • Global XP accumulation
  • Overall win streaks tracked
  • Total play time from all sessions

Organizer Leaderboard

  • Only matches from that organizer
  • XP earned at their sessions only
  • Win streaks within their events
  • Play time at their sessions only

How to view: On the leaderboard page, use the Organizer filter dropdown at the top. Select a specific organizer to see only the players and stats from their sessions.

📊 Computation Breakdown

XP Per Match Formula

IF player wins:

xp = 20 // base win XP

IF current_streak >= 5: xp += 20

ELSE IF current_streak >= 3: xp += 10

ELSE (player loses):

xp = 8 // participation XP

Leaderboard Ranking Formula

rank = sort all players by total_xp DESC

// Where total_xp is the sum of all XP earned across all matches

total_xp = Σ(xp per match) for all matches played

win_rate = (total_wins / total_games) × 100%

Win Streak Rules

  • A streak counts consecutive wins within a session. Losing a match resets the streak to 0.
  • The "Best Streak" stat on the leaderboard is the longest win streak a player has ever achieved.
  • Streak bonuses are applied on top of the base win XP (not instead of it).

DUPR

What it means

When a session is marked as DUPR Match, all match results are submitted to DUPR.com by the organizer. Players must agree to this before registering.

Does game mode affect XP?

No. Whether you play Race to 11, Race to 15, or Rally to 21, the XP rewards are the same.

How does the organizer leaderboard differ?
