How we build the data
- RTTs within 150 miles of New Castle, DE, pulled from Best Coast Pairings. Focus on NJ, PA, MD and DE.
- Current edition only (games since June 23, 2026).
- Faction win rates leave out mirror matches and byes; draws count as half a win.
- GTs, doubles, escalation leagues and practice events are left out of the weekly RTT numbers.
- Small samples swing hard: a faction with 3 games can show 100%. Charts only show factions with 6+ games.
