LFC Ranking System
The Ranking System of Legends Final Combat
The Legends Final Combat ranking system is designed to recognize and reward the most successful and impressive athletes in its competitions.
This ranking concerns exclusively the professional athletes who participate in the event and is renewed on a regular basis, depending on their performance.
How does the ranking system work?
Athletes earn points based on their performance in races, and more specifically for their victory and the type of victory. To move up in the rankings, they must win races and collect points that are added to their overall score.
Similarly, losing does not deduct points, but offers no reward.The ranking does not include ties. In the event of a tie, tied athletes either compete in qualifying matches to determine their position in the rankings or other criteria such as most impressive athlete, knockout, etc. are taken into account.
How points are earned:
Points are calculated based on the type of win and the difficulty of the opponent:
- Victory by KO (Knock Out): 50 points
- Victory by TKO (Technical Knock Out): 40 points
- Victory by decision: 30 points
It is important to note that there are no point bonuses for international opponents. The ranking depends solely on the victory and how it is achieved.
Title Belt System
The athletes who are in the first positions of the ranking, per category, are entitled to claim the Legends Final Combat belt. The top two ranked athletes in each category have the right to compete for the belt.
In the event of a tie, the two tied athletes will face each other in a qualifying match to determine who will have a chance to claim the belt.
