Your ranking is your post count. Right now you're Number 1. Don't screw it up.

t-raw there is no "official rankings"

Now some servers might have ladders but don't trust those things!

Now in my 1v1 Sumo SB tournament, I have started a ranking page solely for people who enter my tournament.

Yeah, just to elaborate, what rankings are you looking for? (I'm going to assume you mean game rankings, not forums ranks.) First, whichever rankings you're talking about, understand there are no universal rankings. Every server has its own rankings. I'm sure you noticed you get your personal ranking in the game console each round, and when you enter the server. Beyond that, if you wanted to see the full list, that would be up to whether the server owner has them uploaded to a site somewhere, so you would have to check with the individual server owners. This game isn't centralized, so that's often not here—with a few exceptions, mainly those listed in the, you got it, servers section.

Now, if you're referring to the ladder, understand that it doesn't really mean anything. I don't mean that in a philosophical way; I mean it's not based on any meaningful statistics, usually. The ladder is based solely on round survival. Not points scored, not matches won, not anything else. Score a ton of points, win a bunch of matches, but die before the round is over—move down the ladder. Score no points, win no matches—move up the ladder. It's a vestige from the old days before the game was online and it was just you versus a team of bots.

The only exception where the standard* ladder might mean something would be in real last-man-standing servers (not to be confused with free-for-all), where the sole or primary method of scoring is by survival. I'm not aware off the top of my head of any such servers in existence at the moment. Maybe sumo servers, in their way.

(* I believe there are ways to customize it now to include more meaningful stats, but I'm not aware of any that have done so.)

If you mean the 'won rounds' and 'won matches' rankings, then I refer back to my first paragraph. Something else?
