Here’s how Burn Series Ranking Points are calculated:

For those you place higher than, your points will increase. You get a large bump for placing above someone who was previously ranked higher than you, and a small bump for placing above someone who was ranked at or below you. The inverse is true for other competitors. Your points will decrease for each person placed above you. They’ll decrease more for those who previously ranked lower, and less for those who are already ranked higher than you.
