Mantis 3.0

This is system employed by Upper Deck Entertainment for their Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG (now replaced by Konami Digital Entertainment’s Cossy), VS System (discontinued) and World of Warcraft TCG.

Instead of awarding points according to the performance of each match, the players are first ranked according to their number of wins. If the number of wins are tied, the following tie-breaker bonus will be employed:

Tie-breaker Bonus 1 – Win/Loss Sum
This score is determined by the performance of your opponents. For each game your opponent has won, you will be awarded 1 point, and for each game that they loss, you will receive -1 point.

For example:
Player A has played against 4 players -
Opponent 1: 0 win 4 loss = -4 points
Opponent 2: 1 win 3 loss = -2 points
Opponent 3: 2 win 2 loss = 0 points
Opponent 4: 3 win 1 loss = 2 points
The tie-breaker 1 for Player A would be -4.

Tie-breaker Bonus 2 – First Tie-breaker Sum
This is determined by the performance of the players that your opponents played against. The Tie-breaker Bonus 1 of all your opponent is added together and equate to your Tie-breaker Bonus 2.

Tie-breaker Bonus 3 – Timing
This is determined by your personal performance; the later you lose in the tournament, the higher your Tie-breaker Bonus 3 will be. The formula to calculate this number is the sum of the squares of the rounds that you lost in.

This a good system that has served UDE well for many tournaments. The only problem is the requirement of a computer to run the program, which is largely restricted by the tournament venue.
