Requirements:

  • Dashboard size 920 x 825
  • Players are grouped into 5 bins by Avg Points per Game
    • 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29 and 30-34+
    • Must create an interactive legend on the top right that can be used in a Dashboard Highlight
  • The “Bands” are based on these bins from the Minimum number of points over X games to the Maximum number of points over X games.
  • The Y Axis (Total Points) is fixed at 17,980 to 39,900 | The X Axis (Games) is fixed at 715 to 1667
  • By default, the Top 10 Players (by points scored) will have Text Labels with their Rank, and name
  • When highlighting players using the Points Bin Legend, only show Text Labels for the players in that bin
  • Players that are marked as “active” should have a circle with an outer ring to separate them from inactive players.
