How does the SolveFire Ranking System Work?

The SolveFire ranking system for levels up to Gold works as follows:

The points that a user has are calculated using the formula:

Points = index + competition_score * 1000

where competition_score is the score on the most recent competition. If a user scores 7/10 on a competition, then their competition_score

is 0.7.

Here are the Indices for each of the levels:

Bronze --> 0

Silver --> 700

Gold --> 1400

Platinum --> 2100

Diamond --> 2800

For example, if a user is participating at the Silver level and scores a 5/10 on the competition, then they will have a new points value of

700 + 0.5×1000 = 1200

If the new points value is larger than the previous value, then it completely replaces the previous value. If it is lower, then the two values are averaged.

Upon a user’s points value passing the index for the next level, they move up to the next level.

For Platinum and Diamond, only users in the 75th percentile or higher are promoted.
