Rankings

What players pick, when shown two.

People on Arena54 answer one question at a time: which of these two is better? Their answers make six boards, and the API gives you each one.

In detail

Two ladders

Games are matched against games and creators against creators. They are never mixed, so a studio is not ranked against its own title.

Three spans

This week and this month count wins inside the span. All time is a rating that rises more for beating a stronger opponent.

Movement included

Each row carries its rank and its rank a day earlier, so you can draw the up and down arrows without keeping history yourself.

Hard to rig

A person answers each pair once, has a daily limit, never sees their own listing, and can only answer a pair they were offered. Staff can void a voter and the boards recalculate.

Not for sale

Votes decide the order. A paid placement, when there is one, is labelled and does not take a rank.
