LumiRank 2023

The UltRank 2023 is an ongoing power ranking that lists the world's best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate smashers for 2023. The season started on December 19th, 2022, and the first half of the season ended on July 23rd, 2023, which will be followed by a Top 50 mid-year ranking.

Tournament Tierer

The tournament tier system for the UltRank 2023 utilizes OrionRank's system while implementing changes meant for the OrionRank 2023.

Due to the disputed tiering of a few tournaments that OrionRank 2022 labeled as a "major", several changes regarding tournament points were implemented. First, the threshold for several tournament tiers were raised, with the major score being raised to 3,000, and new tiers were added including "submajor" (at 2,000 points) and "premier" (at 9,000 points). Player point values were also changed: the top 20 had their point values increased significantly, while players who qualify for the rankings are no longer given points to counteract overinflated scores towards the end of the season.

A tournament's score is calculated by adding the attendance at a tournament to the number of each attendee's player point value if the player has a value, all after factoring in DQs. A player's point value is based off either their highest placement at a tournament, their placement on their region's power ranking, or their placement on the OrionRank 2022, whichever value is higher. Additionally, some regions have either a x2 multiplier or a x3 multiplier depending on the size of their scene.
