Configuring Power Rankings
The Commissioner Rankings page at Commissioner → Power Rankings is where you set the ranking weights, regenerate rankings, generate blurbs, and publish each week.
How a Week Gets Published
Every week follows the same path:
- Rankings are computed automatically. Every 30 minutes the app rebuilds rankings for every scored regular-season week, using the current weights.
- Blurbs are drafted automatically. The same job asks the AI to write blurbs for the newest week, filling in any manager who doesn't have one yet. See AI Trash Talk.
- You review and edit the blurbs.
- You publish the week. Members can only see published weeks.
- Discord gets the post automatically. See Posting to Discord below.
New weeks start as Draft. Nothing is visible to members until you publish.
Adjusting Weights
Power rankings combine three components. You set what percentage each one counts for, and the three must add up to exactly 100.
| Component | Default | What It Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Recent scoring | 50% | Hot streaks: average points over the last 3 weeks |
| Season average | 30% | Consistency: average points across the whole season |
| Win/loss record | 20% | Winning: head-to-head win percentage (median wins don't count) |
To change weights:
- Adjust the three number fields. The sum is shown below them.
- Click Save Weights. The form rejects totals that aren't 100.
- Click Regenerate All Weeks to apply the new weights right away. Otherwise the automatic job picks them up within 30 minutes.
Weights are set per season, and each week's rankings remember the weights used to build them.
Regenerating Rankings
Regenerate All Weeks recomputes every week's rankings from matchup data. It's safe to run any time:
- It keeps every week's blurbs.
- It keeps every week's published/draft status.
Use it after changing weights, after a manual sync, or if rankings look out of date.
The Weeks Table
Each row is one week. The columns show:
- Status: Published or Draft.
- #1: who's ranked first.
- Facts: how many managers have a blurb, for example
12/12. - Generated: when the rankings were last rebuilt.
Each row also has these actions:
| Action | What It Does |
|---|---|
| View | Opens the week's rankings page. Commissioners can view draft weeks; members can't. |
| Edit Blurbs | Opens the blurb editor for that week. |
| Generate Blurbs | Asks the AI to write blurbs for that week (see below). |
| Publish / Unpublish | Shows or hides the week for members. |
| ✓ Discord | Not a button. It appears once the week has been posted to Discord. |
Publish All (next to the weight buttons) publishes every draft week in the season at once.
Writing and Editing Blurbs
Blurbs are the short trash-talk lines shown next to each manager.
- Click Edit Blurbs on a week. Commissioners also see an Edit Blurbs button on the week's rankings page.
- Edit the text for any manager.
- Save.
Blurbs are shown as plain text. Markdown formatting like **bold** appears as literal asterisks on the site, though Discord does render it in the rankings post.
Generating Blurbs with AI
Click Generate Blurbs on a week to have the AI write them. The overwrite checkbox next to the button decides what happens to existing blurbs:
| Overwrite | Result |
|---|---|
| Unchecked (default) | Only fills managers who have no blurb yet. Existing blurbs, including your edits, are kept. |
| Checked | Rewrites every manager's blurb, replacing your edits. |
Always review AI blurbs before publishing. They can get facts wrong.
The AI's instructions, the data it sees, and the trash talk profiles it uses are covered in AI Trash Talk.
Posting to Discord
Rankings post to Discord automatically. Every 30 minutes the app checks the newest week, and if it's published and hasn't been posted yet, it sends one formatted post with every manager's rank, record and blurb. The ✓ Discord badge then appears and the week is never posted again.
Things to know:
- Only the newest week posts automatically. Publishing an older week does not post it.
- There's no "Post to Discord" button on this page. If you edit blurbs after the post goes out, the Discord post won't update.
- Finish your edits before publishing, since the post can go out within 30 minutes.
- The webhook must be set up first. See Discord Integration.
- Rankings posts ignore the Automated Notifications switch on the Discord page. Unpublish the week if you need to hold the post.
Selecting a Season
Use the Season dropdown at the top of the page to switch seasons. Weights, rankings and publishing are all per season.
