Leagues are gone: one rating, three rankings and a three-day season recap
Derby Duel · September 29, 2026
For a while Derby Duel had a thirty-step league ladder. Groups of twenty on every step, seasons closing every three days, promotion and relegation at the end, a separate season score and goal difference to order each group. On paper it was exciting; in the game it meant tracking two different numbers, and many players mixed up which one measured what.
The league system has been removed entirely. The ladder, the groups, promotion and relegation, the season score and the rank badge are gone. In their place there is one number: your rating. It changes after every ranked match and measures how strong you really are. Your profile and the match screen now show the plain rating instead of a rank name.
If you see a tilde (~) in front of your rating, it has not settled yet. For new accounts and for players who have been away for a long time the system knows less about you, so your rating moves faster in the first matches. After a few games the mark disappears and the rating changes more calmly.
The rankings come in three windows. The world ranking orders every player by rating. The country ranking shows the same list with players from your country only. The today ranking ignores rating and counts matches won that day, so even a newcomer can reach the top on a good day.
The three-day season window stays, but it is now a personal recap instead of a table. When a season you played in closes, a season summary appears: your rating as the headline, below it the matches you played and won in those three days, and a closing reward. If you did not play in that window, there is no recap and no reward.
The trophy button in the bottom bar used to open the league table; it now opens tournaments. The bar keeps its layout, and the trophy icon leads to where trophies are actually played for.
Old league and standings addresses redirect to the new world ranking, so links shared earlier keep working.
