Progressing through the Leagues[]
When first starting Design Challenges you will be in Bronze league. You can progress through the leagues by earning Elo. You start with 1,000 Elo.
Elo[]
Elo
Elo is earned by receiving votes for your design. When your design is chosen in voting it receives Elo, when it is not picked it loses Elo. Your design will be matched up against designs with a similar Elo level. After losing enough Elo you can be demoted from your league. You can progress through the leagues by collecting Elo. Elo can be earned depending on the votes your design receives. After receiving 1,500 Elo you will be promoted to the Silver League. After collecting 2,000 Elo you will be promoted to the Gold League. After collecting 2,500 Elo, you will promoted to the Platinum League.
Being in a League[]
When you submit a design, you will be matched with designs that are also in your league and have a similar Elo score. The higher league you are in the more difficult the minimum population requirement will be. In the higher leagues you will also receive more starting Design Simoleons.
