Balance Changes

Introduction to The New Ranking System

Our bespoke ranking system is formulated considering skill-based head-to-head games, ensuring that your rank accurately reflects your expertise and strategy in RadPoker. Here are some attributes of our new system:

• Skilled Based Assessment: It evaluates your performance against opponents, adjusting your rank based on both your and your opponents' previous rankings.

• Predictive Capability: The system anticipates the expected score between opponents based on existing ranks, ensuring that your ranking adjustments are fair and reflect your performance.

• Dynamic Adjustment: Your rank dynamically changes, offering consistent, real-time reflection of your skill and enabling you to climb or descend through the ranking tiers based on your performance.

• Reduced Impact of Luck: Our system minimizes the influence of chance, focusing instead on genuine skill and strategy to determine outcomes and subsequent ranking adjustments.

We believe this new system will lead to more precise ranking, exciting matchups, and a truly competitive environment that rewards skill and strategic play.
