Playgroup Playscore
A points-based scoring system that rewards good gameplay and creates a more balanced Commander experience.
Move beyond simple wins and losses. Playscore tracks the actions that make games fun, rewarding players who engage positively while discouraging unfun strategies.
What is Playscore?
Playscore is an alternative scoring system for Commander leagues. Instead of ranking players purely by wins, Playscore awards and deducts points based on in-game actions, creating a more nuanced picture of player performance.
-
Reward Good Play Earn points for eliminating opponents, drawing first blood, and helping opponents survive.
-
Discourage Unfun Strategies Lose points for infinite combos, excessive tutoring, mass land destruction, and overly long turns.
-
Automatic Tracking Many actions are tracked automatically from your game data. Manual counters handle the rest.
-
Fully Customizable Create custom scoring templates to match your playgroup's philosophy and house rules.
