What was previously being referred to as “leagues”, came up with new name because there was some confusion due to Stephen’s distinct previous proposal of leagues.

Ranks/Tiers (very old suggestion from David, see rank tier section)

[d] league vs level/xp system vs quest/tasks (see relevant discussion from standup)

Primary Goal:

• Engage existing users by appealing to their sense of competitiveness and progression.

How will we measure if we are meeting the Goal?

• DAU to MAU ratio increases
• The number of average bets per user each day increasing
• Positive feedback from power users
• People discussing their ranks with each other and engaging with it on Manifold/Discord

Case studies from other games

Almost all games and even “non-games” have ranked systems in place. These can be broken down into a few different categories which share similarities between games.

To reiterate, I want to create a ranked system, not a XP one. Most games have both, maybe in the future we will have XP too, but I think it is unnecessary for now.

Further below are outlines of specific games that have good models in place.
