Ranked

Ranked is a term describing ranked servers, players who participate there, and tracks which are played on such servers. The most important difference between ranked servers and other (non-ranked, "casual" servers) is that the results of races on ranked servers are submitted to STK Player Ranking. This can cause some major and sometimes unexpected consequences.

Why Ranked is so different?

First of all, there is a type of players who care really care about ranking, their position there, etc. So players tend to be more concentrated to win as much time as possible to win more points, which is natural. Though, players can try to cheat for some reason, and some players can blame other players of rank that (in their opinion) is too big compared to the actual skill. Another thing are players' feelings even in a normal ranked race, depending on the amount of points they get, or depending on luck. So ranked can provide unbelievable emotions.
