// THE STANDINGS
The Ladder
The Ladder is the season's competitive record. It turns ranked battle results into a rating, ranks active players by that rating, and tracks who is earning the most across the season. It has three boards.
Rating and Rank
Rating is your competitive number. It moves when eligible ranked battles settle, up when you win, down when you lose, scaled by how the matchup was expected to go. Wager size and liquidity budget do not directly multiply rating movement. They shape the run through play, not as a rating boost.
Rank is your position on the official board, ordered by rating among players who meet the season's activity requirements.
A player can have a rating but no official rank yet. That usually means they are still building early ranked history or have not been active enough recently for official placement. Your activity state is shown on the Ladder and on your profile so you always know where you stand.
The Three Boards
Ladder
The main ranking, by rating. Shows rank, record, win rate, battles played, activity state, and last battle.
Wagers
Total wager winnings per player this season. Who is winning the most Gold head to head.
Emissions
Total weekly ladder emissions earned per player this season, plus what each rank is projected to earn next.
Every board shows the full set of columns even before there is data to fill them, so you can see exactly what is tracked and what you are climbing toward.
The Ladder Board
The main board leads with a top-three podium and then the full ranked list. Search by handle or wallet to find anyone. If you are connected, your own row is highlighted and a "your position" card summarizes your standing.
Wagers and Emissions
These two boards are about Gold, not just rating.
- Wagers ranks players by the total Gold they have won as the battle winner this season.
- Emissions ranks players by the weekly ladder emissions they have earned, and shows a projected amount for the next drop based on current rank.
Both reward staying active and competitive. Rating gets you ranked. Rank and activity get you paid. See Economy for how the Gold itself works.
Activity Matters
The Ladder is meant to reflect live competition, not a single great week long ago. Staying active keeps your rating eligible and your rank official. Step away too long and the board reflects that until you return.
The Ladder shows a live countdown to the next weekly emission drop. It is a good cue for when to get a few rated battles in before standings lock for the week.
