League Classifications

Leagues show your ranking in the game and set rewards and breakpoints for your game on a weekly basis.

## Leagues

You and your clan are automatically fitted into leagues with other players or clans with similar numbers. There are 3 different leagues.

* Gamer - individual standing in the game. You are sorted into a league based on your game score. Not to be confused with your XP in the game, your score includes points for things like garden levels, number of plants unlocked, achievements, etc. as well as XP. Within the league, players are rated by how much XP they have earned within that week. This league will have up to 15 players in it.
* Clan - the standing of your clan in number of collective dragons raised. League placement based on the previous performance of your clan. This zeros out at reclassification time and a new tally is started, although you can see last week's score in parenthesis. This league has up to 5 clans in it.
* Friends - number of friendship bracelets you have collected. Each assist given in a friend’s garden gives you a friendship bracelet. Your league placement is based on your previous week’s ranking. You get to keep the bracelets to buy accessories for your avatar, but the number for your ranking zeros out at reclassification time. Here also you can see last week's total bracelets in parenthesis. This league has up to 10 players per league.

The leagues have some nice rewards depending on your final ranking at reclassification time. You can check your standing and reclassification time by clicking the starburst at the top of your game window that shows your level. For the most part, your ranking only matters within your league, because the rewards are based on standing within them. However, league ranking matters for the clans. The top 4 leagues get free water lilies. League 1 = 20 , League 2 = 15 , League 3 = 10  and finally League 4 = 5 .

    To access the League Classifications menu, click on the sunburst at the top of the game window.  This will open a menu showing your standing, current level, required xp to level up, rewards for ranking in your league and the league classification time. You can click on any of the names on these lists to see information about the others in your league as well as send friend requests and clan requests if you don't have a current clan. You can also see how many times players have won in the friendship league by clicking their names.

If a player has been inactive for 30 days, their account will hibernate and their name will be removed from league classifications prior to prizes being awarded.

         This button displays your current standing in your league and is the default display when you open the window. This classification is based on your xp. Gamer leagues are reclassified every Thursday at 8 PM US Central time.

         Click this button on the left to view the current standing of your clan. Clans become available at level 6. This classification is based on the number of dragons your clan has collectively raised. The game credits the clan once the dragon has delivered the dragon plants.  The Clan leagues are reclassified every other Tuesday at 8 PM US Central time.

You can see how many dragons each clan raised last week in parenthesis (the number that shows how they were fitted into the current league) as well as how many dragons they are raising this week.

If your clan produces no dragons for 2 weeks, your clan will not appear in clan rankings. Raise a dragon to get onto this list.

If two or more clans have raised the same number of dragons, those clans will share the prize for their ranking.

         Click this button on the left to view your current standing in the your Friends league. This is based on the number of friendship bracelets you have gathered for the week by visiting your friends and helping them. Bracelets you've obtained as prizes from seasonal events, special plants, or the wheel of fortune are not counted in this total. However, bonuses from the Ancestor Spark are counted. The Friend league reclassification happens every Sunday at 8 PM US Central time.

If you collect no water lilies for two weeks, your player name will not appear in the friends ranking. To get into the league classifications, share a friendship bracelet or two.
