We are considering a Global Tournament rating and leaderboard that uses the results from all the past GTs.
With more than 100 Global Tournaments in the books, creating a simple rating that includes all of them isn’t an easy task. There are many options available, so help us choose the ones that make the most sense.
To do that, we’ll explore a few separate topics and ask your opinion with polls. We also welcome more detailed responses in the comments, you might have ideas and alternatives that we haven’t considered.
Game mode selection
Over the years, there have been around 20 different game modes, and more could come in the future. Should all Global Tournaments be valued equally? Should we only care about normal battle GTs? Maybe somewhere in-between, with reduced relevance for the less competitive modes?
- Not sure
- Only normal GTs
- Only normal and competitive GTs
- All game modes

Accounts or profiles?
Players often have several Clash Royale accounts. Should the GTR be independent for each account? Or should we consider the best results of a player regardless of the player tag?
At the moment, most GT and PoL rank profile badges are independent for each account. In contrast, CRL results and Ladder History badges are applied to all the accounts of a player.
The simplest framing for this topic would be: is it better to have a ranking of accounts? Or a ranking of players?
- Not sure
- Clash Royale accounts
- Player profiles

Do you like our Ladder History feature?
There are clear similarities between the Ladder History leaderboard and GTR: both have the goal of unifying a lot of results into a single score and ranking. Do you find Ladder History useful and relevant? Do you think it accurately represents who the best ladder players have been?
- Not sure
- Yes, it’s the best way to see who are the all-time best ladder players
- No, there are better ways to rank ladder players
0 voters
- Not sure
- Bad, as most players who only compete with one account are at a disadvantage
- Good, finishing high with multiple accounts is very challenging and this bonus reflects the merit

Rank or score?
This GTR leaderboard would most likely be paired with a new profile badge. This gives us two options:
- display the rank of the player in the leaderboard
- display the Global Tournament Rating
The main advantage of the first is that it directly provides a simple way to see how good a player is. You wouldn’t need to compare their rating with others to see if they are among the best. Seeing “#100” let’s you know this is the 100th best player in Global Tournaments. This kind of badge would most likely be capped for a specific number of players, either 1K or 10K.
In contrast, a rating is more engaging and dynamic. Players would be able to see how their rating increases as they obtain better GT results. Rating badges could be displayed for many more players, although that would make this badge less exclusive. Setting a minimum rating for it to be displayed is also an option.
- Not sure
- Rank in the leaderboard
- GT Rating
