Board Game Arena

I’m playing hearts and confused on how a ranking is made. I see ELo, all time and season rankings. I don’t understand how one is eligible for all time rankings. I get the playing in the arena and season leagues too.

Can someone explain how the ranking works?

Best,
Dan

Seasonal in Arena ratings earned from playing Arena. All-time ratings are earned by playing rated games, it's the number you see on your account for that game. When playing in Arena you'll score your Arena points based on Arena ratings and your regular points based on regular rating. (So if you are significantly higher rated than your opponent in Arena but about even in the regular ratings your Arena scoring is based on the expectation that you'll win but your regular ratings are based on an even outcome, so you'll score worse in your Arena scale than your regular one in such a game.) When playing rated outside of Arena you'll score your regular points only based on your regular rating.

So how would I find out my all time ranking?

Your profile page only shows your all-time ranking if you are in the top 100.

You can view the all-time rankings and click through the list until you find your name and rank. This might require a lot of clicks, depending on how large the player pool is and where you are ranked.
