# Ranking System
The **ranking system** ensures **fair a balanced use** of the Competition Credit Pool, rewarding efficient players while preventing misuse.
Player rankings are **adjusted weekly** based on individual performance, encouraging consistency, rewarding efficiency, and maintaining balance across the ecosystem.
Each player is ranked from **#1 to #9**, with different benefits at each level. All new players start at **rank #5.** \
\
Ranking is adjusted according to the percentage of credits players **successfully convert into UKI** tokens during the week.

Here’s how to read the table:
> \- If a player converts a percentage of credits **above** the *Rank Up* value, they **move up** in rank.
>
> \- If they convert **below** the *Rank Down* threshold, they **drop down** in rank.
>
> \- If they remain between both values, their rank **stays the same**.
The ranking determines several key benefits:
* **Reward Percentage:** players receive between **20% and 100%** of the tokens allocated to them in the distribution.
* **Borrow Limit:** higher-ranked players can borrow more Cukies at once.
* **Rarity Access:** higher ranks increase the odds of borrowing rarer Cukies.
{% hint style="warning" %}
A player can move **up or down by a maximum of two ranks** per period.\
