# Private leagues In addition to these main championships, you can participate in and/or create other leagues: * **Private Leagues:** typically among friends, accessible only through an invitation code. * **Public Leagues:** open to anyone. These leagues can be of two types: ## GENERAL RANKING The participating teams are ranked based on the total points earned by their players, which, when added together, define the Matchday and Overall score of each fantasy team. ## HEAD TO HEAD Users compete in one-on-one matches every Matchday, following a predetermined schedule generated 1 hour before the start of the first Matchday. The team's total score corresponds to the match result. For example: * Team A 250pts - Team B 220pts: Team A scored more points and wins the match, earning 3 points in the standings. * Team A 220pts - Team B 250pts: Team B scored more points and wins the match, earning 3 points in the standings. * Team A 250pts - Team B 250pts: Both teams scored the same, so to determine the winner, the following tie-break criteria will be used: first, the higher standing score; second, the registration date (the team that registered first wins). The tie-break winner earns 2 points in the standings, and the loser earns 1. The standings reflect each team's point balance. In case of a tie, the team with more points in the overall standings wins (as the second criterion, the team that registered first wins). The Head-to-Head championship can have a maximum number of teams, which depends on the number of game Matchdays, keeping in mind that: * If a Head-to-Head championship has fewer than the maximum allowed number of teams, the matches will repeat cyclically until the last Matchday of the championship. * If the championship has an odd number of teams, a default team named "VNL Team" will be automatically created. It will be assigned a score equal to the average of the points scored on the current Matchday by all teams participating in the game. * Unlike the Overall Standings championship, it is not possible to add new participants to an already started Head-to-Head championship. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
