A new feature has come to Repeat! Matchmaking leaderboards will take our standard tournaments and add a twist based on your actual skill.
We at Repeat are so excited to announce a feature that has been a long time coming and something our users have been asking for. Matchmaking Leaderboards have launched in a beta environment and we will be asking for your feedback as we test this important new feature of our tournaments. Make sure you join our Discord to offer feedback on this new feature.
What are Matchmaking Leaderboards?
Repeat has long operated as a leaderboard tournament platform where users can simply play their favorite game like they always do and earn scores based on their in-game performance. Matchmaking leaderboards are not much different, however players will get placed into separate leaderboards within the tournament which are strictly based on your skill level at the time of the tournament.
During the active period of a tournament Repeat will track your scores as we normally do, and once the tournament ends we will segment the entire tournament into a multiple leaderboards based on your in-game rank or skill level.
Once the tournament has been sorted into the multiple leaderboards, Repeat will calculate the finial scores and distribute prizing. This means that highly ranked players will be in one leaderboard, medium ranked players in another, and so forth, with multiple “first place” positions.
At the conclusion of the tournament you’ll only be able to see the leaderboard that you were placed on, and where you ranked compared to your peers (of similar in-game rank or skill level).
This alleviates some of the concerns users have around players who get lower skill lobbies dominating the standard tournaments. Each leaderboard will have its own payout within the tournament, so players of all skills will be rewarded no matter what!
What determines each leaderboard?
This feature is in testing phase for League of Legends and Rocket League for now, and leaderboards will be determined by your actual in-game rank by the end of the tournament (ex: if you are Bronze rank in League of Legends or Grand Champion in Rocket League, you will be sorted based on that).

Rocket League MMLB tournament -> Join Now
How are the leaderboards decided?
At the end of the tournament, users will be split into their leaderboards depending on their in game rank at that time. These leaderboards will be automatically calculated based on a complicated algorithm that takes into account all users in the tournament and how many of each rank their are.
Does in-game rank show on Repeat?
Yes, your in-game rank will be displayed in the “My Statistics” section once you have joined a tournament. You will also be able to see other players’ in game rank on their profile card.
What is the payout structure like?
Each tournament will split the total prize pool evenly and pay out the top players in each leaderboard.
