Ranked versus Practice: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 21:15, 13 June 2026

Each game or tournament can be either Ranked or Practice. You should check the game's settings to see which it is.

Practice games do not award achievements or points, and the results of practice games will not show up under the "Ranked Games" section on profiles.

Practice games are ideal for new players or for testing new game settings.

AI players cannot be included in any ranked games, and any games with uneven teams are always practice games.
