📊 How the Podium Score WorksYour Podium Score = the sum of your finishing positions across all 6 tournaments.
For example:
Player A

Finishes 2nd in all 6 tournaments
Podium Score = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12

Player B

Finishes 1st in the first 4 tournaments
Finishes 5th in the final 2 tournaments
Podium Score = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 5 + 5 = 14

Although Player B won 4 individual tournaments, Player A has the lower overall Podium Score (12 vs. 14) because of greater consistency across the complete series.

🎯 The Message Behind the Series
Winning one tournament is an achievement.
Showing up, completing every tournament, and performing consistently is a commitment.
The Ekalavya recognition is designed to celebrate players who demonstrate discipline, dedication, consistency, and continuous improvement over the entire six-tournament journey.

Play. Learn. Stay Consistent. Earn Recognition. ♟️
