Okay, another question about the ranks...what happens with rounding? let's say we get 65 players (no doubt we will shortly) then the top 10% are the top 6.5 players. You can't round up all the way down, since then we will need 70 players...so do you make more higher ranks, more lower ranks, or is it dependent on the joining player's 'rank'? Thanks

All decimals are DROPPED. No rounding up at all. This makes sense if you look at it logically . . . in your example, with 65 players, 7th position is NOT in the top 10%, so that player hasn't earned the King title. Ranks must be fully earned. 7th would rightfully be placed in the Master rank. It never has anything to do with the joining player's rank, it's always done like this:

Again using the example of 65 players...

65 * 10% = 6.5 ... decimal is dropped ... 6 Kings:
#1 is always Champion
#2 thru #6 are King

65 * 20% = 13 ... #13 is last Master:
#7 thru #13 are Master

65 * 30% = 19.5 ... decimal is dropped ... #19 is last Expert:
#14 thru #19 are Expert

... and so on. GBA is done exactly the same way, but using 2.5% increments for the top 50% due to the A-D sub-rankings (which is because the membership total is so large).

Hope this answers your question!
