XP Score
PGF’s proprietary athlete rating and the official ranking signal used throughout the league.
The calculation is intentionally not public.
PGF XP Glossary
Use this glossary to understand the public stats, match outcomes, and qualifier terms shown throughout PGF.
Match Points
The raw scoreboard points from the XP sheet. A kill is typically worth six points, a break is worth three, and other outcomes award the exact value logged in the spreadsheet.
Match points roll up to the season and all-time totals shown on athlete profiles.
Strength of Schedule
Average XP Score of the opponents an athlete has faced within the selected season (or across all seasons).
We calculate this by taking each opponent’s current XP Score, averaging it across every logged bout, and tracking how many rated matches and opponents are in the sample.
Quick Finish
Number of matches an athlete has finished in under 60 seconds.
Counts any win flagged as “Time <1min” in the XP sheet, regardless of submission type.
Finish Outcomes
Every contested PGF match resolves into one of the official outcomes below.
Kill
Submission that forces a tap (e.g., choke, strangle, rear-naked), worth the maximum match-point bonus.
Break
Submission targeting a joint (e.g., armbar, heel hook). Awards fewer match points than a kill but still counts as a finish.
OT: Submission
Sudden-death overtime win via submission. Tracked separately from regulation kills/breaks to spotlight clutch finishes.
OT: Ride Time
Sudden-death overtime decided by control time. Not a submission, but it records as a win and contributes to streaks.
Decision
Referee or judges award an official winner without a submission. Decisions award zero match points.
Draw
No official winner is recorded. Draws award zero match points.
Disqualification
An official win and loss caused by a disqualification. DQs award zero match points.
Qualifiers & Media
Qualifiers feed the Season 10 draft pathway while PGF Plus hosts the film room.
Qualifier Event
Regional competition that feeds the upcoming PGF season and its official Draft pool.
Winners earn entry into the PGF Draft pool. Team selection remains part of the official draft process.
PGF Plus Timestamp
Direct video link (usually to YouTube) that jumps to the exact moment a match begins.
If the XP sheet includes a time-coded URL, we surface it automatically on athlete pages and PGF Plus.
