Rank
With ranking, each team, including teams that compare equal, receives a distinct ordinal numbers that evaluates the seasonal performance. Teams are sorted according to the series position at the end of the season and this ranking stays the same for the duration of an entire season.
Although it is established at the league level, the ranking has an effect mainly on the future cup fixture.
Ranking calculation
Teams are first ranked by the division they will play in this season, then ranked within a particular division as follows:
- Active demoted teams
- Active teams that neither demoted nor promoted
- Teams that promoted by their own strength
- Teams that promoted for "free" (replacing a demoted bot)
- Bots, in case of vacant spots
Ranking in cup system fixture
In cups, the higher-ranked team will always play away.
Teams that enter a competition in a later round are always seeded to meet the teams that have entered the competition early. If teams entered the competition at the same time, the highest-ranked teams are always seeded to meet the lowest-ranked teams.
In practice this means that if you manage to stay in the National Cup until round 5 or 6, when you enter a Challenger Cup you will be seeded against a team that was eliminated in the National Cup in round 1 or 2, regardless of your regular Cup ranking.
