# Player Ranking

In (Riichi Mahjong) Ranking Mode, users are competing for **NFT rewards, weekly Vault rewards, tier rewards**, **higher titles** and **level up competition** access.&#x20;

**Air Path (Stakes-Off Mode):** In this mode, players consume Aura to participate the match with an initial score of 25,000 following the match score calculation rules of Riichi Mahjong. Players can recover Aura from daily refill or Aura-feeding (by burning other NFTs). Players will have chance to accumulate active points (weekly rewards), earning Gatchballs and leveling up for their rankings which related to seasonal rewards.

**East Wind & Two Wind**

Two Wind players will have higher drop rate of Gatchball in Ranking than East Wind, so does the aura consumption requirement in Aura Path mode. The Winning points are calculated with higher flucuation in Two Wind Round game as well.

**Match:** Player will match other 3 similar skill level **real people** players in or close to their current tier level to play with and against each other.&#x20;

**Match Scoring:** Players starts from 25,000 initial points in each matching game, with the goal of scoring at least 30,000. The in-game scoring will be determined by the value of **han** and **fu** two scoring factors. The han and fu are plugged into an equation to derive the value of the hand. Certain **yaku** are instead given a value of **yakuman/double yakuman**, the highest scoring hands. The detailed scoring rules are showed in games.

**Tiers System:**

Players earn **Ranking Points** when they win Ranking games and lose them when they lose Ranking games.&#x20;

_**Ranking Points = Uma + (Final Score-Initial Score)/1000**_

**Uma** is s the set point spread applied to the players at the end of the game. The point spread uses 5-15, which means Uma for the 1st player is 15, for the 2nd place player is 5, for 3rd place player is -5, for the 4th player is -15.
