Ranking begins once a player has reached level 5.

10 levels of rank exist, with 10 being the lowest and 1 being the highest. Each rank contains a maximum of 5 medals that can be unlocked.

Each player begins at rank 10 with 1 medal. Each match won will earn him 1 additional medal. Consequently, every match lost will cause him to lose one medal.

If you have no more medals and you lose a match, you will move down a rank, where you will start out with 4 medals already unlocked. On the other hand, if you win a game with five medals already unlocked, you will move up one rank and begin as a one medal member of your new rank.
