Quick answer: The table below compares estimated weekly WoW TBC Anniversary arena points at common ratings across 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5. It applies Blizzard’s published base formula, then the 0.76, 0.88 and 1.00 bracket multipliers used by the Calculators Arena Arena Points Calculator.
| Individual rating | 2v2 points | 3v3 points | 5v5 points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | 546 | 632 | 718 |
| 1,200 | 567 | 657 | 746 |
| 1,400 | 684 | 792 | 900 |
| 1,500 | 845 | 978 | 1,111 |
| 1,600 | 1,102 | 1,276 | 1,450 |
| 1,700 | 1,398 | 1,619 | 1,839 |
| 1,800 | 1,632 | 1,890 | 2,147 |
| 1,900 | 1,768 | 2,048 | 2,327 |
| 2,000 | 1,834 | 2,124 | 2,413 |
| 2,200 | 1,875 | 2,171 | 2,467 |
| 2,400 | 1,882 | 2,179 | 2,476 |
The values are rounded to the nearest whole point after applying the bracket multiplier. They are planning estimates: a team must still satisfy the current participation and eligibility rules, and the eligible bracket with the highest payout determines the weekly reward.
Formula Used for the Table
Blizzard’s Anniversary formula is:
Base points = (((1651.94 − 475) ÷ (1 + 2,500,000 × e−0.009 × rating)) + 475) × 1.5
After calculating the base value, the table applies:
- 2v2: base points × 0.76
- 3v3: base points × 0.88
- 5v5: base points × 1.00

Reproducible Test Cases
1,500 rating
The formula produces about 1,111 base points. Applying the bracket multipliers gives 845 points for 2v2, 978 for 3v3 and 1,111 for 5v5 after whole-point rounding.
1,800 rating
The formula produces about 2,147 base points. The corresponding estimates are 1,632 for 2v2, 1,890 for 3v3 and 2,147 for 5v5.
2,200 rating
The curve is beginning to flatten by 2,200 rating. The estimates are 1,875 for 2v2, 2,171 for 3v3 and 2,467 for 5v5.
What the Comparison Shows
- The reward curve rises most sharply through the middle rating range.
- 5v5 has the largest point estimate at the same rating because it receives the full base value.
- 3v3 receives 88% and 2v2 receives 76% of the same base calculation.
- At higher ratings, each additional rating gain adds fewer weekly points because the formula approaches its upper plateau.
- A projected result is not automatically an eligible payout; weekly games and current Blizzard rules still matter.
Use the Interactive Planner
Use the WoW TBC Arena Points Calculator to enter separate ratings and games for all three brackets. The Arena Gear Planner can then turn the weekly result into an adjustable purchase timeline, while the Honor Calculator covers battleground farming assumptions.
Method note: Table values were recalculated on 30 August 2026 from the displayed formula and rounded once at the final bracket result. If Blizzard changes the formula or multipliers, the calculator and table must be reviewed together.
How to Reproduce the 1,500 Rating Row
Start with a rating of 1,500 in the displayed Blizzard curve. The base result is approximately 1,111. Keep that value unrounded while applying each bracket multiplier, then round the final bracket result to a whole point: 1,111 × 0.76 produces about 845 for 2v2, 1,111 × 0.88 produces about 978 for 3v3, and the 1.00 multiplier leaves 5v5 at 1,111. Small differences usually come from rounding the base too early.
Common Comparison Mistakes
- Comparing different ratings as if only the bracket changed: use the same rating across 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 when testing the multiplier effect.
- Rounding twice: keep the base calculation at full precision and round once after the bracket multiplier.
- Treating an estimate as an earned payout: participation and eligibility still determine which bracket can pay that week.
- Using an old formula: this table is tied to Blizzard’s Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary explanation, not every historical TBC implementation.
The formula, interface behavior and documented test cases are also recorded in the public calculator testing register.
