The
ranks are divided into two primary groups, the Enlisted and the
Officers, each having a unique function. The Enlisted ranks
serve as a form of training, in that players will have to play several games before progressing through them,
while the Officer ranks make up the skill portion of the ladder.

Ranking
System Info
The ranks are all earned by playing the game to move up in these ranks,
players must complete a certain amount of "scored" games. These games
played
can result in both Wins and Losses and still be tallied in the total
number of games played, to encourage players to remain in the game,
rather than aborting if there is a chance
they might lose. Although Enlisted players can only gain ranks by
increasing the number of games they play, their total Rating is still
being tracked.
The final goal of the Enlisted ranks requires a bit more dedication to
reach, as it shifts the focus to the number of wins rather than number
of games played. Once players
have reached the necessary number of games and wins, their experience
on the Ladder changes, and they are now placed in the Officer ranks.
When a player reaches Officer class, they can never
return to the Enlisted ranks.
