The URC Top 100 is a dynamic player ranking system that combines recent performances across the URC, EPCR competitions, the Rugby World Cup, and other international rugby.
The system, which is powered by the StatMaster xP algorithm and identifies the most valuable performers across the 16 URC teams, is brought to you by Elixirr.
Elixirr is an award-winning global consulting firm working with clients across a diverse range of industries, markets, and geographies. Founded in 2009, the firm set out to be the ‘challenger consultancy’ and do things differently than the large corporate consultancies dominating the industry – a driving ethos that is also at the heart of the URC.
From stadium to boardroom, Elixirr has deep experience helping partners gain competitive advantage using data and offers meaningful insights that have a tangible impact across our league as a whole.
A player can gain points by doing things that increase his team’s probability of making the next score – such as crashing past defenders, nailing a 50/22 kick, earning a scrum penalty or even winning a crucial turnover on his own try-line.
On the other hand, if he makes a costly error, he can lose points.
All the ratings have been scaled so that an average URC player scores 80, with the very best performers in the league reaching over 90.
