"I believe in poker the way I believe in the American Dream.  Poker is good for you.  It enriches the soul, sharpens the intellect, heals the spirit, and - when played well, nourishes the wallet."  ~Lou Krieger
Anthony Holden:
"Poker may be a branch of psychological warfare, an art form or indeed a way of life – but it is also merely a game, in which money is simply the means of keeping score."
Lou Krieger

                      How the Ranking System Works

    Your ranking is determined by your finishing position, relative to how many players were in the game. If you went out in 5th place in a game that had 10 players, you earned about the 50th percentile. If you went out in 5th place in a game of 100 players, you earned about the 80th percentile.
      Your finishing percentiles are averaged, and compared to everyone else.
     In order to qualify for a ranking you must have played at least five games since the start of the ranking period. After 5 weeks of inactivity, the ranking is removed.
     Rankings will be reset every 3 months.
     The ranking system is not affected by Ring Games or monthly tournaments.
