What Are Tournament points?

In my daily chess stats, it says I have 78. 

How did I get them? (obviously by joining daily tournaments, but that's not an answer I'm looking for)

something along the lines of "winning games"

but how does it work? like 2 points for a win, 1 point for draw, etc...

i actually don't know, it says i've won 10 games or something but i have no tournament points

still like what else would you get them for lol

maybe you have to place top 3 or something?

I think it's just the total number of all the tournament points you've gotten. If it's an arena thing, then you know, first win is worth 1, then next is worth more because you're on a streak... those points.

Oh, maybe it only counts if you place in the top 3 like you said.

I don't know.

were they daily tournament games?

Tournaments

that's what it says

interesting, here's mine:

I dunno, sorry

You get them for placement in Daily tournaments.

@martin_stahl, thanks

the Tournament points are awarded to the top 4 finishers in a tournament. Not to be confused with the top 4 for a group within the tournament. and it is based on how big the tournament is and what the avg rating is.

Unless something changed, that's not correct.

One of the tourneys I played had 100 players and 80 got points. This shows the last page of players.
