Leagues with tiers and groups

We are interested in creating a league system with separate tiers and groups, but so far couldn't find any way to implement it with PlayFab.

The basic idea is to group users into groups of 100 players and rank them based on a statistic. Every week X of the players should be promoted to a higher tier, Y players should be demoted (if on a tier higher than the first) and the rest will stay.

We were considering using the leaderboard feature, or the shared group data but all of them pose a lot of issues.

Are we missing something? Is there a way to support this kind of design with the current features?

We'll be working a guild/team/clan system for titles later this year, though I'm afraid we can't provide a delivery date for that just yet. Have a look at this thread for more on that: https://community.playfab.com/questions/13110/guild-implementation-ideas.html.

The concept of grouped leaderboards where players are promoted/demoted to other leaderboards is something we'll be working on after the guild implementation. You are correct that neither the existing leaderboard service (in which all players reporting the same statistic are in the leaderboard) and shared group data (which can only be used to share data within a small group of players) is designed for what you have in mind. If you need this feature in your title in the short term, I would have to recommend using an external data table (potentially via Cloud Script, using http.request).

We are looking for a way to accomplish exactly the same. Is there a preferred way to implement this by now already? groups or leaderboard v2?
