Why does the leaderboard not display the player's unit?

Probably because it is a solo event so units do not factor into this.

Well that begs an interesting question. Will we see a Group/Faction challenge where registered teams compete?

As far as I can see the scoreboard also counts losses.

No, it doesn't. Your team has to win the match for your personal score to count.

I started the tournament with a run of 10 straight losses. Even after two hours, including games my team lost where I got phenomenal scores, I had achieved zero score on the leaderboard because my team had always lost.

Only after the 11th match, which my team won, did I get and score on the leaderboard. And that score was exactly and only the points I scored in the 11th match.

The last two tournaments where 4man (Lance) tournaments. (check the /tournamets page)

Anyway, as Appogee said, only victories count.

Yes, but that does not mean we should not advertise what unit people belong to, similar to the way the solo queue itself works.

Well got some decent matches finally last night but was a rough and frustrating start. Just under half way to 10 mill bonus I decided I was done for the night.

I think a lot of people are going for that kill/ assist threshold but forgetting you still have to win for it to qualify! I know I was having this problem in the beginning... some of my own fault there for tunnel vision on the numbers at first.

Phracts and Jagers are a rough way to do this. Stormcrow, maddog, timber, and dire mania out there snatching side torsos.

I know they were lance tournaments. I'm talking official units where all players with specific unit tags are working for their unit's goals, not specifically their own in solo or group queue.

Ok then it's definetly not working right, because as far as I understand the rules your score from losses should count for the leaderboard as well.

wow this event.. every game is a stomp zzZz

no good games, just fast stomps everywhere win & lose

your own teammates often do more damage to you than the enemy lol

hope this gives them the correct data for the mech tiers, nerfs & quirks

This won't tell anything as people all play different for tournies.

The rewards are pitiful though, I got my Cbill bonus and ArcheAge it is. Just a whole lot of bad playing happening.

I've had some 6+ losses and victories. They've been about as fun as a tooth ache.

[StarChaser42]

Darn. Some games my team just get rolled, others we destroy the other team. XD It seems EVERYONE is on! Gotta step up my game a bit!

Kinda hard when driving a small Mech, like my Locust or Spider, but it can be done at least.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! May the odds be ever in your favor! XD

Most matches I feel like this:

[B0oN]

Not worth participating, HSR playing crazy .

[Saint Scarlett Johan]

This event has been "bleargh"

I got my 20 valid victories and held 1st in Clan mediums for the better part of Friday night. I really don't feel like trying to get back up in there. And with having to work all weekend... :/

[Girth Fillmore]

I had three hard-fought wins where I ended up (by my math) with 127 pts, 129 pts, and 132 pts. I guess I did some FF in the 132 game because I didn't get any spacebucks.

Now THAT stings.

[3xnihilo]

I have had some good close matches but all losses. Also a tough haul as a light pilot. With my schedule and at this rate I think getting 10 wins will be a personal victory for me this weekend. Haha, but since every time I lose 12 people win someone is making out good right

[SunshineActual]

C-Bills are awarded at the end of the event to track the number of valid wins you have racked up go to the tourny page should with the stats.

[DevilCrayon]

I'm curious about what counts as a "valid match" also. I'm currently showing scores above 130 in all IS mech catagories, but it still only says 3 valid wins. I'm pretty sure there were other wins in there that below my current top scores, also.

[Appogee]

Worthy "adversaries"...? How worthy some allies every now and then, too, just to make the matches even slightly possible of being won...?
