The team leader himself will distribute tickets to the players.

The chances of winning the season will be increased if captains carefully distribute tickets for all rating categories. You can award tickets to any player who has played at least four regular tournaments. The cash prize depends on the value of the ticket https://lichess.org/forum/team-AHHC2a4d/career-winter-season#10 .

Default rating categories ....

A player's rating category is determined by their first game in the cycle.

The player's rating is taken at the end of the tournament.

IN THE SEASONAL CYCLE:
• ----- • ------------------ •
| 1st | 2200 - 2900 |
| 2nd | 1800 - 2200 |
| 3rd | 1000 - 1800 |
• ----- • ------------------ •

IN MONTHLY CYCLES:

Changing the rating category ...

Attention! The threshold for changing the rating category is 25 ELO points. For example...

We divide into three rating categories. To better understand which of the players in which category - let's designate them with colors!

1st | 2200 - 2900 | - ›" ORANGE "
2nd | 1800 - 2200 | - ›" BLUE "
3rd | 1000 - 1800 | - ›" GREEN "

We see that @ Barmaley80 is in 5th place in the tournament, but in his rating category he is in first !! He managed to climb the highest out of the 1800-2200 rating category! It's easy to see that @pushkarevsfamily took 28th place in the tournament, but again in his category (1000-1800) - first !! For convenience, we make three from one general tournament table! Colors are for clarity. Now each rating category has its own standings!

The coefficient of the rating difference was not taken into account when compiling this standings.

——————————————
HOMEPAGE - lichess.org/team/career-leagues
——————————————

Rating difference coefficient

...

The coefficient is calculated based on the ELO rating of the opponents in each game. Depending on whether the WINNER's rating is higher or lower, the coefficient is subtracted or added accordingly.

——————————————

If the winner has a rating in the game:
• does not exceed the mark of 200 points, then the coefficient is 0
• over 200 - 400 points, 0.2 points are removed from it
• over 400 - 600 points, 0.4 points are removed from it
• over 600 - 800 points 0.6 points are removed from it
• etc...

If the winner has a rating in the game:
• not lower than the mark of 200 points, then the coefficient is 0
• below 200 - 400 points 0.2 points are added to it
• below 400 - 600 points 0.2 points are added to it
• below 600 - 800 points 0.2 points are added to it
• etc...
