Ok here I need a little help. I listened to Broaddus explain this but I can't find in the video where he did and I've forgotten the middle number.
1-1-1 The first number is the round I believe. The second number I'm not certain of. The last number is the rank in the round. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
