What the stats mean
A player's profile and the draft board show a handful of stats built from Team Tour results, plus one that comes from outside the league. Here is what each one means.
Seed
A player's draft position on their own team for a season. Seed 1 is a team's top slot, and higher seed numbers are lower on the roster. Seed is set at the draft and can change season to season.
Set record / Set %
A "set" is a best-of-X match between two players. Set record is wins-losses across sets; set % is the percentage of those sets won. A toggle lets you switch between regular season only and all sets (including playoffs).
Game record / Game %
The individual games inside sets, tallied the same way as set record/set % above -- useful for seeing how close a player's sets tend to run, not just who won them.
Impact -- vs expected for your seed
Impact answers one question: did you produce more or less than your seed normally produces? Zero is the baseline. A positive number means you did more than players in your roster slot usually do; a negative number means less. It is not a rating out of 100 and it is not a win rate -- it is a distance from par, and par is measured from what actually happened in the league, not from a formula someone picked.
Every set you play adds to it, and the size of that contribution depends on two things:
- How much of the set you won. A 3-0 sweep is worth more than a 3-2 grind, and -- read from the other side -- losing 2-3 costs you less than being swept.
- Who you were up against. Beating someone above you on the roster is an upset and is worth substantially more; beating someone below you is worth less, because that is the expected result. One seed of difference moves it a little, two seeds moves it a lot.
Impact is zero-sum. Every point one player gains, their opponent loses in the same set, so a season's Impact across the whole league adds up to exactly zero. Nothing is created by an upset and nothing leaks away -- it moves. That is what makes one player's number comparable to another's.
It is published per seed slot, never as one big list. Matchups are only ever within two seeds of each other, so a team's seed 1 can never be the underdog and the bottom of a roster is never the favourite. A single cross-seed leaderboard would therefore rank the format rather than the players, and it would punish every team's best player for being their team's best player. Each seed slot is measured against its own track record instead.
Minimums. To be placed you need at least six real sets, and to have played at least 60% of the sets you were actually on the card for -- weeks before you joined a roster do not count against you, and neither do weeks still in progress. If you are below either line you are still shown, with the reason, rather than quietly left off.
Only played sets count. A forfeit is a result, not a performance, so it is left out of Impact for both players -- the winner did not beat anyone and the loser did not play badly.
Impact is never added up across seasons. Seeds are redrawn at every draft and the zero-sum balance only holds within a single season, so a career total would be adding up incomparable things. A career line quotes your best season with your per-season average beside it.
Impact is closely related to vs Seed below. vs Seed counts whole sets (wins above what the seed matchups predicted); Impact is finer-grained -- it weighs the scoreline inside each set as well as the matchup -- and is the one to reach for when comparing players in the same roster slot.
SOS (strength of schedule)
How tough a player's opponents were, on average, for a given season. Calculated as two-thirds of the opponents' own set-win % plus one-third of THEIR opponents' set-win % -- so it accounts for strong opponents who themselves played a weak schedule. Higher SOS means a tougher schedule.
vs Seed
Wins above or below what a player's seed matchups would predict, based on the league-wide track record for that seed gap. A positive number means the player beat tougher matchups than their seed suggests they should have; negative means the opposite. Shown per season and as a career total (regular season only).
Played up / even / down
Compares a player's intra-team seed to their opponent's for every set they played. "Up" means they faced a lower (better) opposing seed number, "down" means a higher (worse) one, and "even" means the same seed. Shown with the set record for each bucket, so you can see how a player fares against tougher, equal, or easier opposition.
Avg seed, Playoffs made, Finals made, Rings
- Avg seed -- a player's average draft seed across every season they've played.
- Playoffs made -- number of seasons the player's team reached the playoffs.
- Finals made -- number of seasons the player's team reached the championship.
- Rings -- championships won.
PPT -- Team Tour career
"PPT" is shorthand for Pizza Power Team Tour-- a player's all-time record in this league. Wherever you see a PPT line like 62% - 24 sets - 4s - 1 championship, it breaks down as:
- Set win % -- the percentage of sets won across every Team Tour season played (regular season and playoffs both count).
- Sets played -- total sets played, career.
- Seasons -- number of Team Tour seasons the player has held a roster spot for.
- Championship rings -- Team Tour finals won.
MMR & tier (draft board)
The draft board also shows a player's Balatro Ranked MMR(matchmaking rating), pulled straight from balatromp.com's Ranked queue -- the same number you'd see on the official leaderboard. This is a rating from outside Team Tour, used to help captains gauge a player's in-game skill at draft time; it does not factor into any Team Tour stat on this page. The tier shown next to it (Stone / Steel / Gold / Lucky / Glass, sometimes with a Foil / Holographic / Polychrome / Negative edition on top for players near the top of that season's leaderboard) is computed from that MMR and the season it was earned in -- it is not sent by balatromp directly.
