How The Super Smash Points System Works (Simple Explanation)
When a team wins a match, it gets 4 points. When weather or other issues cause a no result, both teams again get 2 points. A loss gives you 0 points.
| Match Result | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| Win | 4 points |
| No Result | 2 points |
| Loss | 0 points |
When two teams have the same number of points, the team with more wins ranks higher.
If wins are also equal, Net Run Rate decides who ranks higher. NRR measures how fast you score runs compared to how fast you concede them.
What These Points Tables Mean For Qualification
Only the top three teams from each division qualify for the finals. The system gives an advantage to teams that perform well throughout the season.
The team ranked first goes straight to the Grand Final on 31 January 2026. They get an extra day to rest and prepare.
The teams ranked second and third play each other in the Elimination Final on 30 January 2026.
The winner of that match moves to the Grand Final to face the first-ranked team. Teams ranked fourth, fifth, and sixth are eliminated from the competition.
This format rewards teams for finishing higher in the table. That’s why every match matters, and why teams fight hard for bonus points and better NRR throughout the season.
