Every player starts as a Beginner. Correct picks, titles and streaks move you up, and one global ranking tracks the whole tour over a rolling twelve months.
The global ranking works like the tour it follows. Points from every tournament you enter stay on your total for twelve months, then drop off again.
Points expire a year after you earn them, so the table always reflects the last twelve months of form rather than the last five years.
There is no best-of cut. A 250 you played pays less than a Grand Slam, but it still adds to your total, so playing often is its own advantage.
Finish high in a tournament and the leaderboard points follow. Win one outright and you take a title, which is what levels are built on.
Levels are permanent. They are earned from titles and streaks, not from your ranking on any given week, so they only ever go up.
Titles are how levels are earned. The ones marked required are the gates on the road to Legend.
