Statistical driven tournaments
The subject disclosure relates to systems and methods for ranking video game players based on performance statistics recorded during game-play. In some aspects, a process of the subject technology can include operations for receiving a first set of game-play attributes including two or more game-play statistics for measuring a first player's performance relative to a first game and a second game, receiving a second set of game-play attributes including two or more game-play statistics for measuring a second player's performance relative to the first game and the second game, and automatically ranking the first player and the second player based on the first set of game-play attributes and the second set of game-play attributes. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.
1. A system for hosting a tournament gaming league, the system comprising:
one or more processors;
a network interface coupled to the one or more processors; and
a non-transitory memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory comprising instructions stored therein executable by the processors to perform operations comprising:
actively monitoring a first set of game-play statistics measuring different gameplay attributes of a first player within a first game title, the first set of game-play statistics including at least one game-play statistic;
actively monitoring a second set of game-play statistics measuring different gameplay attributes of a second player within a second game title, the second game title different from the first game title; and
generating a cross-title ranking for the first player and for the second player based on an attribute measured by the at least one game-play statistic when the tournament gaming league ends, wherein generating the cross-title ranking includes comparing the at least one game-play statistic to a corresponding one of the second set of game-play statistics that measures a same type of the attribute.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one game-play statistic is associated with the first game title, and wherein generating the cross-title ranking for the first player and for the second player further comprises:
comparing at least one of the first set of game-play statistics corresponding to the first game title with at least one of the second set of game-play statistics corresponding to the second game title.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processors further perform operations comprising:
generating a display representing the cross-title ranking for the first player and for the second player; and
providing the display to a client device associated with the first player.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first game title and the second game title belong to a same genre, and wherein the first set of game-play statistics and the second set of game-play statistics are automatically retrieved based on the first game title and the second game title belonging to the same genre.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second set of game-play statistics include at least one game-play statistic.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one game-play statistic is selected by the first player and is based on one or more criteria specified by the first player, and further comprising identifying the at least one game-play statistic based on the at least one game-play statistic meeting the specified criteria.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one game-play statistic is selected by the first player and is based on one or more conditions of a gaming league specified by the first player, and further comprising identifying the at least one game-play statistic based on the at least one game-play statistic meeting the conditions.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of game-play statistics and the second set of game-play statistics are determined based on one or more metrics.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the metrics are defined on a post hoc basis and asynchronous with collection of the first set of statistics and the second set of statistics.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second player is selected by the first player.
11. A method for managing an online gaming league, the method comprising:
actively monitoring a first set of game-play statistics measuring different gameplay attributes of a first player within a first game title, the first set of game-play statistics including at least one game-play statistic;
actively monitoring a second set of game-play statistics measuring different gameplay attributes of a second player within a second game title, the second game title different from the first game title; and
generating a cross-title ranking for the first player and for the second player based on an attribute measured by the at least one game-play statistic when the tournament gaming league ends, wherein generating the cross-title ranking includes comparing the at least one game-play statistic to a corresponding one of the second set of game-play statistics that measures a same type of the attribute.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one game-play statistic is associated with the first game title, and wherein generating the cross-title ranking for the first player and for the second player further comprises:
comparing at least one of the first set of game-play statistics corresponding to the first game with at least one of the second set of game-play statistics corresponding to the second game.
13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising executing further instructions via the processors to perform operations comprising:
generating a display representing the cross-title ranking for the first player and for the second player; and
providing the display to a client device associated with the first player.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first game title and the second game title belong to a same genre, and wherein the first set of game-play statistics and the second set of game-play statistics are automatically retrieved based on the first game title and the second game title belonging to the same genre.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second set of game-play statistics include at least one game-play statistic.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for managing an online gaming league, the method comprising:
actively monitoring a first set of game-play statistics measuring different gameplay attributes of a first player within a first game title, the first set of game-play statistics including at least one game-play statistic;
actively monitoring a second set of game-play statistics measuring different gameplay attributes of a second player within a second game title, the second game title different from the first game title; and
generating a cross-title ranking for the first player and for the second player based on an attribute measured by the at least one game-play statistic when the tournament gaming league ends, wherein generating the cross-title ranking includes comparing the at least one game-play statistic to a corresponding one of the second set of game-play statistics that measures a same type of the attribute.
