Rewards

Eight types of badges are awarded in rankade: rank titles, belts, status badges, match and win medals, draw and loss pins, time tokens. New badges are planned for future updates - stay tuned!

Time tokens

Time tokens describe, for each ranking, how long it has been since the player's first match.

Match medals

Match medals describe, for each ranking, the number of matches played by the player.

Win medals

Win medals describe, for each ranking, the number of wins achieved by the player.

Loss pins

Loss pins describe, for each ranking, the number of losses suffered by the player.

Status badges

Status badges describe, for each ranking, the player's activity.

You will be an active player if you play in the group often enough, given the group's own characteristics. You will be a nearly active, semi-active or inactive player if you play less often than that, and your ree score will be affected by this. This can happen because you entered the group only recently (keep playing, you'll be an active player soon!) or because you've been playing less often (start playing again!).

Rank titles

Rank titles describe, for each ranking, the members' standings in the group.

The Emperor is the player who has first place in a ranking (providing that their ree delta from average is not too small), while - in small groups, 5+ players - Samurai marks the second place (or second and third, and more). The Shogun and Daimyo titles are only available for bigger groups (25+ and 13+ players, respectively).

Belts

As in some martial arts, belts mark the attainment of higher and higher levels within the gaming group. They are assigned to users by the algorithm based on match results, group members' ree scores and the group's characteristics.

You can obtain a higher belt by reaching a higher ree score, as long as enough time (and matches) has passed since you earned your previous belt. Once you earn a belt you'll never lose it, until you replace it with a higher-level one.

The belts are, in order:

Each belt is accompanied by a quotation from Yamamoto Tsunetomo's Hagakure.
