RPGA Ranking System
RPGAŽ Network Tournament Play Ranking System
The Network sponsors role-playing tournaments throughout the world. Last year
the Network sent tournaments out to over 250 conventions in the
English-speaking world. These tournaments use a special voting system to
determine who played best and how well the referee ran the game; each player
fills out a ballot that has a section for evaluating the referee and a space
for listing the four best players. The votes each player earned are then
totaled and the highest-scoring player is declared the winner. When members
participate in these events, HQ records the results. The more tournaments you
play, and the better you do in those events, the more points you earn.
Your points add up, and you are assigned player and judge levels based partly
on how many you have. You receive levels as a player in two categories:
Campaign and Classic events. Campaign events are those for which you bring a
character, such as Living City (tm). Classic events
are those for which a character is provided. Judges receive their points all
into one pool, the Judge ranking.
Non-voting points can be accrued in Retail Play, Interactive, and online
gaming events. These points add to your player level by segmentation.
