Game modes/Ranked Multiplayer

**Ranked Multiplayer** is a game mode in Disney Speedstorm where players can compete online against other real players to rank up their Racers and climb the leaderboards, earning exclusive cosmetics for their Racers, as well as Multiplayer Coins to spend in the in-game Shop.

Players can compete in solo or create a party of 2 or 3 friends and compete for the top 3 podium places.

## Score points & Leaderboards

**Ranked Multiplayer** is all about ranking up. To do that, players need to earn “Score Points” by competing in Ranked Multiplayer with different Racers in their roster. The higher a player is in a race, the more Score Points they will earn for that Racer. If a player performs poorly in a race, they can lose Score Points, so players need to be aware that this score will rise and fall based on their performance.

There are 2 types of leaderboards in Disney Speedstorm. There are leaderboards for each individual Racer and a main global leaderboard. The important thing to know is that players' position on the main global leaderboard is determined by **the sum of Score Points across all of their Racers**. This means that mastering as many Racers as you can is preferable to focusing on one sole Racer in Ranked Multiplayer.

## Ranks & Leagues

   As mentioned above, it is important to play Ranked Multiplayer with a variety of different Racers to improve the global leaderboard position. Each Racer in the roster can be ranked up and has their own set of rewards to unlock with individual Score Point milestones to reach in order to increase the Rank. Progressing through 5 Ranks will result in the player moving up to a Higher League where they race against progressively more skilled players.

**There are total of 10 Rank Leagues to progress through for each Racer.**

**NOTE:** while the total Score Points level of a player can increase and decrease, affecting their leaderboard position, players **cannot lose a Rank once they have reached it during the season**. Example: If you reach the Diamond Rank with Baloo, you will not drop below that level for the remainder of the Season and will be guaranteed the rewards associated with reaching that rank with Baloo.

## Ranked Multiplayer Rewards

There are a number of different rewards players can earn by competing in Ranked Multiplayer. These are split into rewards earned by progressing through ranks during the season, and rewards that are granted at the end of each Season.

Every time players reach a new Ranked League, they are instantly granted rewards which can include Multiplayer Coins, Tokens, Upgrade Parts and even Cosmetics. At the end of every season, players also earn Multiplayer Coins based on their final Score Points for each Racer in their roster.

Reaching the Diamond Rank League will result in unlocking exclusive kart liveries.

## Matchmaking

The **matchmaking** is designed to ensure players are matched with players of similar skill as much as possible. The matchmaking system is based solely on players' Score Points, so their performance during Ranked Multiplayer is the key factor. The better they perform, the higher the caliber of player they encounter.
