Ranking offers three primary gameplay modes to cater to diverse gaming preferences: Solo Play, Team Play, and Tournaments. Here's an overview of each mode:

1. Solo Play

Solo Play is a one-on-one competition where two players face off in a selected game. Here's how it works:

• Inviting a Player: Players can invite another user to a game. The invitation form allows players to specify key details such as:
• Game Title (must be selected at the start)
• Game Type (digital or physical)
• Time and Venue (for physical games) or Platform (for digital games)
• Referee Options: Decide if a referee is required and, if so, who it will be.
• Adjusting Details: Other game specifics can be finalized later using Ranking's messaging tools, external communication methods, or any agreed-upon approach. These finalized details must be updated on Ranking.
• Joining the Game: Both players must confirm their participation by joining the game on Ranking to begin competing.
• League Requirement: Players must belong to the same league to ensure fair matches and similar skill levels. 

2. Team Play

• Joining a Team:
• Browse existing teams on Ranking and request to join.
• Captains review and approve new members.
• Forming a Team:
• Create a new team from scratch.
• Invite friends or Ranking players to join.
• Team Management:
• Teams are managed by a Captain who:
• Assigns roles.
• Coordinates gameplay schedules.
• Oversees team operations.

3. Tournaments

Tournaments offer a competitive format for solo players and teams to showcase their skills and win prizes. Here's what you need to know:

• Tournament Types: Players can join either Solo Tournaments or Team Tournaments.
• Finding a Tournament: Use filters to search for tournaments by: game type, mode (solo or team), etc.
• Joining a Tournament: Tournaments on Ranking often require an entry fee, which can vary depending on factors like the organizer's settings and sponsorships. To join a tournament:
• Review the tournament rules carefully to understand the guidelines and requirements.
• Pay the entry fee as specified.
• Confirm your participation to secure your spot and compete!
• Gameplay and Prizes: Compete in scheduled matches and log results. 

If you win a tournament, the prize is allocated to you after the submission of the results and confirmation by the organizer.

For team tournaments, when your team wins, the prize is allocated to the team account and distributed by the team captain.

• Prizes: The prize pool is displayed on the tournament page and varies for each event.
• Sponsored Tournaments: Some tournaments are sponsored, offering higher rewards and unique opportunities for participants.
• Team Prize Distribution: In team tournaments, prizes are allocated to the team and can later be distributed among players by the team captain.
