I'm fine with that. It works even if we don't go with a ranking. I would.prefer to go with a ranking system, but there are inherent problems with it. 

The two people above thing would be helpful, in making sure there aren't in high jumps in rank, and MIA people could be shuffled down or skipped it they aren't around. It would also stop people from challenging lower level people for easy win/point upkeep. 

Stealing spots wouldn't be bad to me. If we nix the two people deal, and say I beat #1 Skally them understandably I should be #1 and he #2. It could keep thefights going and going as people vie for spots. 

I would like yo add that player rankings should only count for 1 fight at a time least it.get too confusing. Especially with points. Unless predetermined wagers are listed.
