15. Scoring system (XP + Rating)

This section explains exactly how XP and the player rating are calculated each match. All parameters can be configured from Settings → Scoring (Pro).

15.1 XP per match

XP = base_xp
   + floor(minutes / 10) × xp_per_10min
   + goals            × xp_goal
   + dribbles         × xp_dribble
   + interceptions    × xp_interception
   + saves            × xp_save
   + assists          × xp_assist
   + crosses          × xp_cross
   + shots            × xp_shot
   + key_chances      × xp_chance
   + errors           × xp_error  (negative)
   + Σ(custom_actions × their_xp)
   ± ipm_adjustment

15.2 Rating per match

The rating is built in layers on top of a base value (default 6.0):

Rating = base_rating                      (default 6.0)
       + participation_bonus
       + clean_sheet_bonus
       + victory_bonus
       + goals            × rating_goal × context_mult
       + dribbles         × rating_dribble × context_mult
       + interceptions    × rating_interception × context_mult
       + saves            × rating_save × context_mult
       + assists          × rating_assist × context_mult
       + crosses          × rating_cross × context_mult
       + shots            × rating_shot × context_mult
       + shots_on_target  × rating_sot
       + key_chances      × rating_chance
       + errors           × rating_error × context_mult
       + fouls            × rating_foul
       + yellows          × rating_yellow
       + reds             × rating_red
       + Σ(custom_actions × their_rating)
       + goal_milestone_bonus
       ± ipm_adjustment

The final rating is rounded to 1 decimal and clamped between 1.0 and 10.0.

15.3 Participation bonus

Based on the actual match duration (totalMinutes), not a fixed 90 minutes:

• Played ≥ 85% of match duration: +0.3
• Played less than 85%: +0

15.4 Clean sheet bonus

For goalkeepers and defenders who played ≥ 70% of the match:

15.5 Victory bonus

+0.1 for all players with time recorded when the team wins the match.

15.6 Goal milestone bonus

15.7 Context multipliers

When enabled, each action is multiplied by the game situation at the moment it occurs.

Score state (goals and assists):

Shot zone (goals only):

Time of match:

Defensive multipliers:

15.8 IPM adjustment (Impact Per Minute)

IPM lets players with fewer minutes compete on rating with those who played longer, rewarding density of impact.

1. For each player: impact = baseRating − 6.0, IPM = impact / minutes
2. The team's IPM mean and standard deviation are computed
3. Each player is normalised: ratio = (IPM − mean) / (2 × std), clamped −1 to +1
4. Players above mean get up to +ipmBonusMax (default +0.4); below mean up to −ipmPenaltyMax (default −0.2)

15.9 MVP of the match

The highest-rated player gets MVP if both conditions are met:

1. Rating ≥ 7.0
2. Played at least 40% of total match duration

15.10 Match achievements

15.11 Custom actions

Each custom action has two configurable values: xpValue (XP per occurrence) and ratingValue (rating points per occurrence). Custom actions also receive context multipliers when enabled.
