<h2>General info</h2>
<p>
SendouQ is a community made matchmaking system. It features leaderboards
and a season system. Everyone is free to join no matter if they are new
to competitive Splatoon or a top level player. The system aims to
connect people with similar skill levels with each other. It&apos;s
different from what the game offers (Anarchy Battle, X Rank etc.) in
that the sets are best out of 7 and you choose your teammates.
</p>
</section>
);

return (
<section>
<h2>Before joining</h2>
<h3>Make a sendou.ink account</h3>
<p>
Click log in on the front page (mobile) or top right (desktop). Agree
to connecting your Discord account, you will be redirected and the
account is made.
</p>
<h3>Select your map pool</h3>
<p>
Optional - if you don&apos;t have a preference then skip this step and
other players in the lobby get to choose. On the{" "}
<Link to={SENDOUQ_SETTINGS_PAGE}>settings page</Link> first select your
preference of each of the five modes. Avoid means you&apos;d rather not
play the mode. Neutral means you don&apos;t have strong feelings either
way. Prefer means you like this mode over neutral modes. These choices
later affect what modes you will be playing. In SendouQ you might play a
set with SZ/TC/RM/CB or only TC or TC/RM or any other combination. It
all depends on what people have chosen.
</p>
<p>
For each mode that you didn&apos;t avoid also choose 7 maps. Again the
choices you make are in part deciding what map lists you will be playing
on. You can&apos;t choose maps that are excluded from the map pool for
the season (banned). Banned maps are typically those with least
likelihood to appear in tournaments or generally have been very rarely
picked based on the data of previous seasons.
</p>
<p>
Finally hit save to save your preference (also do this for each step
below).
</p>
<h3>Weapon pool</h3>
<p>
Choose up to 4 weapons that you will be playing. Don&apos;t skip this
step as it&apos;s important for team building reasons.
</p>
<h3>Voice chat</h3>
<p>
Select whether you can voice chat, listen only or neither. Also select
the languages you speak. Again this is an important step so don&apos;t
skip this one. Note if you select that you can voice chat it&apos;s
expected that you will join the voice chat when asked.
</p>
<h3>Avoiding Splattercolor Screen</h3>
<p>
You can select to avoid Splattercolor Screen. This option exists for
accessibility reasons. Toggling this option means screen will be banned
in all sets you play. But also note that groups challenging your group
will see that screen would be banned in your set so it&apos;s not
adviced to select this option unnecessarily.
</p>
<h3>Bio</h3>
<p>
On your user profile page put a short description to your bio about your
previous competitive experience etc. information you think would be
useful for team building purposes.
</p>
<h3>Friend code</h3>
<p>
On the SendouQ front page enter your friend code. It&apos;s your
responsibility to make sure it matches the account you will be playing
on. Anything else will be considered alting by default which is against
the rules. If you need to change friend code after setting it use the
helpdesk on our Discord server or contact Sendou directly via DM.
</p>
<h3>Reading rules</h3>
<p>
Read the <Link to={SENDOUQ_RULES_PAGE}>rules</Link>. You agree to follow
them when you play SendouQ.
</p>

}
function JoiningTheQueue() {
return (
<section>
<h2>Joining the queue</h2>
<h3>Joining solo</h3> <p>Click Join solo on the SendouQ front page.</p>
<h3>Joining with 1-3 mates</h3>
<p>
Click Join with mates on the SendouQ front page. On the following page
share the invite link with your mates. You can also Quick add mates if
they are in the same sendou.ink team or they played with you before and
selected the option to let you do this.
</p>
<p>Click Join the queue after your mates have joined.</p>

<section>
<h2>Finding a group</h2>
<p>
<p>
If you didn&apos;t join with a full group of 4 next you will join a
screen where the aim is to get a full group. You do this by getting
other people join your group or morphing with other groups. Click the
Invite button for any group you would like to group up with
considering the weapons, skill level and other factors. There is no
downside in sending more invites so it&apos;s not advised to only send
one invite at a time and waiting for them to accept but keep sending
new invites till you find a match.
</p>
<p>
Naturally other groups can also invite you in which case it&apos;s up
to you to decide whether to accept or not. There is no explicit
decline invite feature so if you don&apos;t want to group up then just
don&apos;t click the Group up button.
</p>
<p>Repeat this grouping up process till you have a full group of 4.</p>
</p>
<h3>Plus Server icons</h3>
<p>
<Image alt="" path={navIconUrl("plus")} size={24} />
<p>
Icon above means that the player is a member of the Plus Server. See{" "}
<Link to={FAQ_PAGE}>FAQ</Link> for more info.
</p>
</p>
<h3>Adding a note</h3>
<p>
You can add a public note if you want to communicate something to other
groups that might influence grouping up somehow. E.g. message that you
will be streaming the set with VC so people who don&apos;t want to
appear on stream can avoid your group.
</p>
<h3>Inactivity</h3>
<p>
If you don&apos;t do any actions for 30 minutes your group will be
marked inactive and hidden. Click the prompt that you are still looking
to be visible again.

<h3>Ranking algorithm</h3>
<p>
The ranking algorithm used is called OpenSkill. Most common question
people have is how is it possible that their higher ranked mate loses
less points than they do. This is possible because of confidence
rating which is an internal value that goes down when you perform as
the algorithm expects you to perform and goes up when it&apos;s the
opposite. Check Joy&apos;s{" "}

target="_blank"
rel="noreferrer"
href="https://twitter.com/JoyTheDataNerd/status/1709651029971570960"
>
Twitter thread
</a>{" "}
on a longer explanation.
</p>
<h3>Ranking tiers</h3>
<p>
<Link to={TIERS_PAGE}>
View full list of tiers and current SP criteria
</Link>
</p>
<p>
You will see your ranking tier for the season after completing{" "}
{MATCHES_COUNT_NEEDED_FOR_LEADERBOARD} sets (calculation).
</p>
<p>
Unlike most other games in SendouQ ranking tiers are strictly based on
percentage. This means that e.g. Leviathan is always the top 5% of the
players. This also means that your ranking tier might go up or down
without playing when other players&apos; rankings change.
</p>
<p>
There is also a tier recalculation in the first week of the season that
can change your ranking tier significantly. When there are less than{" "}
{USER_LEADERBOARD_MIN_ENTRIES_FOR_LEVIATHAN} entries on the leaderboard
tiers are calculated based everyone&apos;s powers. After crossing that
threshold tiers switch being calculated based on players on the
leaderboard only.
</p>
<h3>Rank history</h3>
<p>
You can see your ranking history graph on your user profile&apos;s
Seasons page. Note that to to view your rank history, two conditions
must be met: 1. You have completed a minimum of 7 sets. 2. These sets
were played across 3 separate days, according to server time.
</p>
<h3>Team ranking</h3>
<p>
Team ranking is just ranking of unique rosters of 4. This means that If
your team has 5 members (A, B, C, D, E) then you would potentially have
different rankings with A-B-C-D, B-C-D-E, A-C-D-E etc. You don&apos;t
need to do anything special such as creating a team on sendou.ink to
start playing for a team ranking. The system automatically tracks team
ranking for each unique roster that plays.
</p>
<p>
Note that the default team leaderboard only shows the highest team
ranking per player so you might not show up at all if the mates of your
rankings have higher rankings with other players.
</p>
<h3>Ranked tournaments</h3>
<p>
In addition to SendouQ, tournaments can also affect your ranking. Check
the <Link to={CALENDAR_PAGE}>calendar</Link> to find tournaments hosted
on sendou.ink. If on the registration page it has the Ranked badge
then you know it is a ranked tournament. In ranked tournaments each set
is counted as a SendouQ set. Ranking changes are applied when the
tournament ends and is finalised by the TO.
</p>
<p>
If you sub around then note that only the people who played in the set
have their ranking changed. If you sub in the middle of a set then
it&apos;s counted based on people who played the majority of the set.
</p>
<h3>SendouQ Season Finale</h3>
<p>
Top 12 teams are invited to a SendouQ Season Finale event that typically
happens 1 week after season ending. It has a price pot of $750 and is
Splat Zones only.
</p>
<h3>Off-season</h3>
<p>
For off-season (usually around 2 weeks between seasons) SendouQ is not
available.
