Calculation of Claire Rating
A player’s Claire Rating is determined by the total number of rating points earned across the last six Claire Tour seasons.
The Claire Ranking is updated after each season and includes all rated players.
Use of Claire Rating
A player’s Claire Rating is used for the following purposes:
-
Seeding for the Seasonal Cup Tournament
If players are tied in the seasonal standings and their qualification spots for the Cup main draw must be determined, the higher-rated player receives priority.
-
Cup Match Tie-Breaker
In the event of a draw in a Cup match, the player with the higher Claire Rating advances. If both players have identical ratings, the player who submitted their correct answers faster advances.
-
Eligibility for Special Events
Top-rated players may receive privileged access to the Masters season at the end of the annual tour and to selected future tournaments, including a team-based competition currently under development.
