* '''GetDistributionStanding''': A function used to get the [[Mod API Reference:GameStanding|GameStanding]] during the picking phase of this game.  Pass this function your own callback function which takes a [[Mod API Reference:GameStanding|GameStanding]] as an argument.  For example:  <code>game.GetDistributionStanding(function(standing) print('got ' .. standing) end)</code>.  Your function will be called with nil if the distribution standing is not available, for example if it's an automatic distribution game.  In the event of an error, such as lack of an internet connection, your callback will not be called and instead the player will get a "Could not connect" message.
