Most of my battles has just been to win rather than having judges who vote on writing ability. I assume the player ranking would be judged fights with all that criteria, so you could be #1 and loose countless fights in terms of your character getting killed off. The character ranking would take into account their actual win/loses while player ranking cares about how you win with the point system. That way you can play a lot of horrible fighting characters yet still not have it ruin your player ranking, it would just reflect in that character loosing fights in the character ranking. Of course winning the fight would contribute some points from judges, but if you're skilled you could still win the fight with a weaker character who dies at the end.
