Getting your WARDOGS server's matches onto public leaderboards

How a WARDOGS community server gets its matches counted on BulletMeta's public stats: the free stats-only option, enrollment, what is recorded and what is not.

What the public leaderboards are

BulletMeta’s WARDOGS leaderboards rank players across every community server that counts: Glicko-2 rating, win rate, K/D, kills, infantry and vehicle kills, headshots, the longest infantry kill, and the boards nobody chases — deaths, teamkills, suicides, roadkills — plus weapon stats and clan boards. Unlike trackers built on the game’s own progression sync (level, cash, unlocks), these come from the matches themselves, so a server that counts puts its players into a ranking their level never showed.

How the numbers are collected

BulletMeta reads what the server already reports over its HTTP interface every few seconds — the scoreboard, who joined and left, the kill feed — and turns each finished match into results per player. No client mod, no overlay, nothing installed on a player’s machine and nothing installed on the server. Exactly what is recorded is written up separately, as is how the rating works.

Stats only is free

When you register a server you choose between admin features — the live console, which uses a slot on your plan — and stats only, which is free without limit and never counts against anything. A stats-only server has no console: its card offers matches and settings, and that is all. It is the right choice for a community that already administers its box another way and only wants its matches to count.

Enrollment

Every registered server starts out of public stats. Many boxes are private — scrims, events, a tournament with its own rules — and publishing their matches without being asked would put a private night on a public board. To be counted:

  1. Register the server (stats only or admin, either works).
  2. On the server’s card, next to No public stats, press Request. A note helps — what the server is, roughly how it is run.
  3. Support reviews the request. Until then the card says the request is pending, and you can withdraw it.
  4. Once approved, the server appears on the public server list with a “counts since” date, and its matches from that point on land on the boards.

Enrollment can be revoked — by staff, with a reason — and a community can ask again after a decline.

What counts, and what does not

What your community gets

A public page per server — live map, player count, a week in numbers and the match history — that players link from Discord; a match page per round with the scoreboard, the kill timeline and the longest shot; and, in your own console, the same numbers for every player who ever joined, searchable by name or SteamID, with their open sanctions beside them.

Do it on BulletMeta

One server with every admin tool is free. The tool this guide is about, in full, is on the server tools page.
