Where Can I View My Reward Points?

The above battle results are used in the example below to manually determine/confirm results.

How to Manually Calculate Reward Points

To calculate your Reward Points:

Step 1: After a battle, locate your rating to calculate your base Reward Points.

• Note: The rating in the calculations is capped to the max rating of your league.  

Step 2: Multiply your Rating by the percent of Starter Cards used (if any):

• If no starter cards are used, simply multiply by 1 or just proceed to the next step.
• The effect of starter cards on this calculation can be found here: Why didn't I receive any SPS for my ranked battle?

In this battle, 1 out of 5 cards were starter cards (20% or 0.2), so we first subtract 0.2 (20%) from 1; this gives us 0.8 (80%), which we will multiply by our rating, then cube that resulting product:

• Rating of 1798 x 0.8, cubed = 2,976,041,775.1

Step 3: Divide the resulting number by 10,000,000:

• 2,976,041,775.1 / 10,000,000 = 297.6041

Step 4: Add up your bonuses:

• 20% for Gold Cards = 20%
  
• 4% for Guild Bonuses = 4%
• Because we want to retain the base amount and add these percentages to it, sum 1 (100%) and the previous values (1 + 0.2 + 0.4 = 1.24).  This sum (1.24) is used in the next step.

Step 5: Multiply the results of your rating calculation by your total bonuses. For a 24% total bonus (Gold Foil 20% and Guild Bonus 4%), we use the aforementioned 1.24 in our calculation:

• 297.6041 x 1.24 = 369.029084

Step 6: Multiply the results of the previous calculation by your staked SPS reward multiplier (listed as SPS Boost in the RP summary shown above):

• 369.029084 x 1 ≈ 369.029084
  

Step 7: Multiply the previous result by 100% minus any low level card penalties. For a 20% low level card penalty, we will subtract 20% from 100%, giving us 80% (0.8) to multiply by:

• 369.029084 x 0.8 ≈ 295.2232672

The results seen in game will be approximations, as the values may be rounded to a certain number of decimal places; in the example above, the player earned  295 Season Points / Reward Points  from this battle.
