Your ranking serves as your social status in the SportsMates
community. Other fans will use your ranking to quickly
judge how credible and long-standing a member you are.
Club owners can restrict membership in their clubs to
members with a minimum ranking to ensure that only the
most credible and passionate of fans can participate.
Because of these facts, building up your ranking will
lead to a more enjoyable and MVP-like experience. |
