Over 1,700 international and Korean players have laced up and played with Project Ball in Korea since 2016—and we’ve tracked every game, every stat, and every step of their journey. The Project Ball Leaderboard (PBLB) was built to be more than just numbers. Inspired by the precision of chess ratings and the competitive spirit of U.S. fantasy sports, it’s a system that celebrates consistency, growth, and the drive to improve. It challenges players to show up, play hard, and rise through the ranks—not for fame, but for the pride of progress. Every point, rebound, and assist reflects effort. Every stat is a reminder that growth happens one game at a time. And no other league in Korea, amateur or pro, tracks it like this.

​

PBLB Player Ratings are calculated from team and individual stats accumulated from official PB events. Positive stats such as wins, points scored, and rebounds will increase a Player Rating, while negative stats like turnovers and personal fouls will lower your Player Rating. The following formula is used to calculate Player Ratings. 

​
