Explanation of the medals system

The medals chest is a fun way of keeping track of your accomplishments in the league. The medals chest can be reached by going to any player's details page either through clicking on their name on a leaderboard or by searching for their membership number or name on the leaderboard front page. The chest is broken into two segments, your medals and your rank.

Rank

Your rank represents how much of an impression you have made on the league. All players start of as a 'rookie' when they join the league and advance upwards through the ranks as they play in tournaments. Every tournament you play in grants you 'experience', with more experience being gained for better performances. When you have gained enough experience you will increase in rank.

Experience is gained as follows:
Each tournament played in: 1 exp
Reaching the final table: +1 exp
Going heads up: +1 exp
Winning a tournament: +2 exp.
Therefore the most experience that can be gained in a tournament is 5 points.

The ranks progress as follows:
Rank 0 - Rookie - 0 exp
Rank 1 - New Player - 3 exp
Rank 2 - Regular - 10 exp
Rank 3 - Contender - 20 exp
Rank 4 - Old Hand - 40 exp
Rank 5 - Veteran - 60 exp
Rank 6 - Shark - 90 exp
Rank 7 - Single Bracelet - 120 exp
Rank 8 - Double Bracelet - 150 exp
Rank 9 - Triple Bracelet - 200 exp
Top Rank - Immortal - 250 exp
