Your SteamSets Score is calculated based on your rankings in various leaderboards.
Here's the general breakdown:
The General Idea:
For each category where you're in the top 1000, you receive points based on your rank and a forumla.
The Formula:
Let's say:
- ( M ) = Maximum possible points for a category (this is different for each category)
- ( R ) = Your rank in that category (1 to 1000)
Then, the points you get for that category are:
Category Points=M×10001001−R
Your Total Score is the sum of these "Category Points" across all eligible categories.
Example Illustration (No actual point values):
Imagine three categories: "XP", "Games", and "Badges".
- Category XP: You rank #5
- Category Games: You rank #120
- Category Badges: You rank #450
The calculation would look like:
- XP Points: ( M_XP \times \frac{1001-5}{1000} ) (where ( M_XP ) is the maximum)
- Games Points: ( M_Games \times \frac{1001-120}{1000} ) (where ( M_Games ) is the maximum)
- Badges Points: ( M_Badges \times \frac{1001-450}{1000} ) (where ( M_Badges ) is the maximum)
Your SteamSets Score = (XP Points) + (Games Points) + (Badges Points)
Key Principles:
- Top 1000 Only: You must be in the top 1000 for a category to earn points.
- Proportional Scoring: The closer your rank is to #1, the more points you get for that category. The calculation ensures a smooth decrease in points as ranks go from 1 to 1000.
- Category Weighting: Some categories are inherently "worth more" than others; their maximum point value (( M )) is higher.
