You don't have to do anything. The moderator team records each scrim set as it's played, and it lands on the ladder when it publishes. If a set is missing or a number looks wrong, ask on the community Discord (join here).

DPL S1 ratings carry an uncertainty (see the rating explainer). New players and returning players have high uncertainty, so their rating is shown conservatively, marked provisional, and kept below established players on the board. It settles after your first five sets.

Three legitimate reasons. A recorded set was corrected, and since sets form a chain, fixing an early one re-prices everything after it. Inactivity widened your uncertainty, which lowers the displayed conservative rating until you play again. Or, if you're top 15 with five or more sets this season, inactivity decay took a bite — see the penalty system in the rules.

When a name variant slips through (a typo on a scoresheet, a rename), a moderator merges it and your full record follows your canonical name. Ask on the community Discord (join here) and it'll be merged.

Separate ladders. Rating chains never mix across platforms, so a PC player guesting in an Xbox set doesn't move their PC rating. DPL S1 is a PC-only season; the Xbox tab appears on the archived seasons that have Xbox sets.

Skin winners from the 2018–19 Top 100 Tournament series: gold for a tournament win, silver for a finals appearance. They're permanent, and browsable per event under TOP 100.

Two kinds: the Top-100-era skins above, and season trophies. When a season closes, its final top 1 / 10 / 25 (starting with S2) get a permanent badge with their exact final rank.
