Every point comes from something a player actually did

Salaries

How a player is priced

Salary is a public function of past output over a 10-map window. Because the price is a statement about what has already happened, the whole of the edge available to an entrant sits in projecting what happens next.

1. 01

   Rolling form

   We take the player’s fantasy points per map across their last 10 scored maps in the same discipline. Maps older than 90 days are dropped from the window rather than aged out gradually.

2. 02

   Opponent adjustment

   Where our data provider reports a rating for the opposing roster on the day a map was played, that map is weighted by it — output farmed against a weaker field is not priced the same as output against a stronger one. A map with no rating available is left unweighted rather than being given an assumed one, so the price never rests on a number we invented.

3. 03

   Slate normalisation

   Adjusted averages are mapped onto the salary range for the contest so that the full cap is always spendable and the cheapest eligible player is never unplayable.

4. 04

   Publication

   Salaries are published when the contest opens and never move after that. A roster change or a player substitution before lock removes the affected player from the pool instead of repricing them.
