How do favorite leaders work?

The star icon () lets you mark your favorite leaders:

  • Click the star next to any leader in a dropdown
  • Favorites appear at the top of all leader lists
  • A separator line divides favorites from other leaders
  • Favorites sync across the home page and tracker page
  • Stored in your browser (persists across sessions)

How do I log rounds/matches?

  1. Open a tournament from the Tracker page or click on it from the home page
  2. Click the "Add Round" button
  3. Fill in the match details:
    • Opponent's leader
    • Match result (Win, Loss, or Draw)
    • Who won the dice roll
    • Turn order (First or Second)
    • Check "Bye Round" if you had a bye
  4. Click "Save Round"

What is a bye round?

A bye round is when you receive a free win because there are an odd number of players. Bye rounds:

  • Are automatically marked as wins
  • Do NOT count towards your win rate
  • Do NOT count towards win streaks
  • Are excluded from all performance statistics

Can I edit or delete rounds?

Yes! To edit or delete a round:

  1. Go to the tournament detail page
  2. Click on the specific round you want to modify
  3. The round edit modal will open
  4. Make your changes or click delete
  5. Click "Save Changes" to update

Note: The "Edit Tournament" button only edits tournament details (title, leader, format), not individual rounds.

How do I complete a tournament?

When you're finished logging all rounds:

  1. Open the tournament
  2. Click the "Complete" button
  3. Enter your final placement (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
  4. Enter the total number of players
  5. Click "Save"

Once completed, you can no longer add rounds, but you can still edit tournament details.

What does 'Drop from Tournament' do?

This marks your most recent round as a "drop" (when you leave a tournament early). Dropped rounds are excluded from win rate calculations, similar to bye rounds.

What is Top Cut?

Top Cut refers to the elimination bracket that happens after Swiss rounds at larger tournaments. Players who perform well advance to single-elimination matches where each round is best-of-three.

Example: A tournament might have 7 Swiss rounds, then Top 8 elimination with best-of-three matches.

How do I add Top Cut rounds?

  1. Log all your Swiss rounds first using "Add Round"
  2. Click the "+ Add Top Cut" button
  3. Select your opponent's leader
  4. Click each of the three boxes to cycle through results:
    • – (dash) = game not played
    • W = you won that game
    • L = you lost that game
  5. Record your best-of-three results (e.g., W W –, W L W)
  6. Click "Add Top Cut"

Once you add your first Top Cut entry, the "Add Round" button disappears (Swiss is locked).

How do best-of-three results work?

Each Top Cut round has three possible games:

W W – = You won 2-0 (won round)
W L W = You won 2-1 (won round)
L W W = You won 2-1 (won round)
L L – = You lost 0-2 (lost round)
W L L = You lost 1-2 (lost round)

Validation: You can't have three wins (WWW) or three losses (LLL). Maximum is 2 wins or 2 losses per round.

Can I add notes to my matches and tournaments?

Yes! You can add optional notes to:

  • Swiss Rounds: Add notes when creating or editing a round
  • Top Cut Rounds: Add notes when creating or editing Top Cut matches
  • Tournaments: Add notes when editing a tournament

Use cases: Track memorable plays, record opponent insights, note deck techs, or remember key matchup details.

How do I view my notes?

Round Notes:

  • A blue note icon appears on rounds with notes
  • Click the icon to expand and view the note
  • Click again to collapse

Tournament Notes:

  • A blue note icon appears in the tournament header
  • Click to expand the notes below the tournament info

Notes are visible only on the Tournament Details page, not in the History list.

What is Win Rate?

Your win rate shows the percentage of matches you've won:

Win Rate = (Total Wins / Total Matches) × 100

Important: Win rate excludes bye rounds and dropped rounds. Only actual matches count.

Example: 8 wins + 2 losses + 1 bye = 80% win rate (8/10).

What is Player Identity?

Player Identity is a visual summary of your playing style shown on the home page. It displays:

  • Top 3 Leaders: Your most-played leaders across all tournaments
  • Leader Portrait: Click any leader to see their image with a color-coded glow effect
  • Overall Win Rate: Your all-time win percentage
  • Total Record: Lifetime wins and losses
  • Tournament Type Breakdown: Pie chart showing your participation across Local, SIM, Treasure Cup, Regional, and other event types

The gradient background dynamically changes based on your most-used leader's colors.

What is Compare Leader Performance?

Compare Leader Performance is a tool on the Advanced Statistics page that lets you analyze two leaders side-by-side. For each leader, you can see:

  • Win Rate: Percentage of matches won with that leader
  • Total Matches: Number of games played
  • Record: Wins vs losses breakdown
  • Best Streak: Longest consecutive win streak
  • First/Second Win Rate: Performance based on turn order

Use this to identify which leaders work best for your playstyle and make informed deck choices.

What is Leader Color Usage?

Leader Color Usage shows which One Piece TCG colors you play most frequently:

  • Color Distribution: Visual breakdown of Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Black, and Yellow usage
  • Multi-Color Leaders: Leaders with multiple colors contribute to each color's count
  • Format Filtering: View color usage for specific formats (OP13, EB03, etc.)

Found on the Advanced Statistics page. Helps you understand your color preferences and identify colors you may want to explore.

How are Win Streaks calculated?

Two types of streaks are tracked:

  • Current Streak: Consecutive wins from your most recent match. Resets to 0 when you lose.
  • Longest Streak: The highest number of consecutive wins you've achieved in the selected time period.

Bye rounds and dropped rounds do NOT count towards or break streaks.

What are Tournament Wins (Podium Finishes)?

The trophy counts show your tournament placements:

🥇Gold: 1st place finishes
🥈Silver: 2nd place finishes
🥉Bronze: 3rd place finishes

Only completed tournaments with final placement data count towards trophy totals.

What is Recent Form?

Recent Form shows your last 5 match results with color coding:

  • Green (W): Win
  • Red (L): Loss

Bye rounds are excluded from recent form.

What do the Leader Statistics show?

The Leader Win Rate module shows:

  • Most Played Leader: The leader you've used the most in the selected time period
  • Win Rate: Win percentage with that specific leader
  • Record: Wins-Losses with that leader

Leaders are assigned at the tournament level, not per-round.

What are the Turn Order statistics?

These show your performance based on who goes first:

  • First Win Rate: Win percentage when you go first
  • Second Win Rate: Win percentage when you go second

This helps you understand if you perform better going first or second.

How do time period filters work?

The floating pill buttons at the top of the dashboard filter all statistics:

  • OP13/OP14: Shows only tournaments from that format
  • This Month: Shows tournaments from the current calendar month
  • All-Time: Shows your complete tournament history

All statistics update based on your selected filter.

How does Top Cut affect my statistics?

Tournament Header (Detail Page):

  • Shows separate Swiss and Top Cut records
  • Top Cut counts rounds won/lost (not individual games)

Home Dashboard Statistics:

  • Top Cut games (individual W/L) count towards your total wins/losses
  • Affects win rate calculation
  • Included in win streak calculation

Example: If you went W W – then W L W in Top Cut, that's 4 wins and 1 loss added to your stats.

How do I share my tournament results?

For completed tournaments, you can create a shareable image:

  1. Complete your tournament by clicking "Complete" and entering final placement
  2. Click the "Copy Image" button below the tournament details
  3. The button will copy a mobile-optimized image to your clipboard
