The basics

How points are earned

Three rules decide whether a result counts toward the national board, all three from the 2026-27 League Rules.
2026-27 League Rules
  1. Pick a primary club

    “Players select a primary club to earn points from a variety of events.” You can join as many leagues as you want, but you need a primary club listed with your sanctioning to receive national ranking points.

  2. Get sanctioned, Silver or above

    A free Bronze account plays league-night round robins. Official APL Rankings and sanctioned tournament competition start at Silver ($30/season): tournament eligibility requires “a current APL Silver Membership or above.”

  3. Throw the quarterly championships

    League season points are the accumulated total from your highest placement in each quarterly League Season Championship tournament, four total in a Full Season, each seeded by round-robin record and submitted to the APL Leaderboard.

The rating

What SPR measures

SPR is the Season Player Rating, a performance number that sits alongside your points total rather than replacing it.
Every ranked player
Per Scoreholio, SPR is a rating “calculated based solely on games played within a specific season.” Points reward turning up and placing across the season; SPR reflects how you actually played in those games. Both appear on every row of the leaderboard.
Scoreholio's Season Rating scale runs 0–1000 and starts new players at 500 by default. The APL 2026-27 season's published values currently run 0.0–64.7, so APL's season is configured differently. The exact configuration is one for the league to confirm.
