Ranked mode is a ladder system, where balanced teams play [[Capture The Flag]] against each other via a ranking & queue system.
Its spirit is similar to the 'Gather' format from classic [[Soldat]] - i.e. competitive, but without the drama.

While many top players play this format, beginners are explicitly welcome - don't be intimidated, it's a great opportunity to learn the mechanics of the game!

== How it works ==

Players queue up for a match in from the ''play ranked'' game menu.
There are multiple queues for different server locations and team sizes.
Once enough players queued for a match, they fight two rounds plus an optional tie-breaker round. The teams are balanced based on all players ranks.
The result of the game affects each players rank (players receive their initial rank only after 10 played ranked matches).
For each round, one team votes (one of three) for a map out of the [#map-rotation map rotation].

== Map Rotation ==

The map rotation currently consists of a subset of the CTF maps included in the game:

* ctf_ash
* ctf_campsite
* ctf_cobra
* ctf_crossfire
* ctf_division
* ctf_dogbite
* ctf_dopamine
* ctf_guardian
* ctf_hormone
* ctf_lanubya
* ctf_limbo
* ctf_rotten
* ctf_snakebite
* ctf_steel
* ctf_tyrus
* ctf_wretch

== Events ==

[[Transhuman Design]] occasionally holds events such as tournaments (whose rules are based on the principle and ladder from ranked mod).
