Chiprally

League points simulator

Every league argues about its points system. The argument is usually abstract, because nobody can see what a change would actually do. Paste a season in below, pick two systems, and the table shows you exactly which players move and by how much.

What the systems do

Field size scaled

Placement multiplier times the number of players. The model Chiprally runs.

A 30 player game is worth two and a half times a 12 player game.

First in a field of 30 scores 300, fourth in that same game scores 180, which beats a win in a 12 player game at 120.

Flat placement

Fixed points per finishing position. Field size is ignored entirely.

Simple to explain and easy to run on paper, but it quietly rewards playing the quietest game on the calendar.

Percentage of field beaten

Share of the field you finished ahead of, scaled to 100. Only the last finisher scores zero.

That keeps mid pack players engaged, but it compresses the gap between winning and simply finishing.

Flat placement plus attendance

Flat placement points, plus a fixed bonus for every game you turn up to.

It is the usual answer to the attendance problem, and the usual complaint about it is that it rewards turning up rather than finishing well. Turn the bonus up and down and watch how quickly it decides the season.

Run this on your real league

Chiprally computes standings like this every time you enter a result, across seasons, with achievements, trophies, and a public leaderboard your players can check on their phones. Chiprally runs the field size scaled model, and its placement multipliers, points for secondary games and bonus points are all configurable. The flat, percentage and attendance systems here are for comparison, not settings you can switch on.
