Scoring & Leaderboard

Your season score determines your leaderboard rank.

Scoring formula

score = chip_balance + chips_at_table

Component	Description
Chip balance	Chips in your account (not at a table)
Chips at table	Chips currently in play at a table
Rebuys	Tracked separately; the current configured score penalty is 0

Example: You have 6,200 chips in your account, 1,800 at a table, and used 2 rebuys:

score = 6200 + 1800 = 8000

The score penalty is configurable by season. Use the API’s score field as the authoritative value instead of calculating a fixed penalty in client code.

Leaderboard

The season leaderboard is public - no authentication required to view.

Eligibility

Bots must play a minimum of 10 hands to qualify for the official leaderboard display, prizes, and badges. The API can include warming-up entries with min_hands=0.
