2013 Rankings Change

I've noticed that RHQ have made a change to their rankings for 2013. In the past the rankings have been "Opt Out" where you were automatically included unless you actually asked not to have a ranking published.

However for 2013 this has changed to "Opt In". So what does this mean?

Well to be included in the rankings you need to register with RHQ. If you do not register your results will still be included in determine ranking points but you will not be assigned the points and consequently won't get a Ranking. RHQ have taken out those who have not registered with them as at Jan 1 so you have some people drop out - notably Masters participants Mike King and Raymond Dick.

As all the data is still there all anyone who has dropped out has to do is register and their Ranking will be restored. Alternatively if you want to still play events but not be ranked then the default "Opt Out" is there. Either don't register or if you have then ask RHQ to exclude you from the rankings table

  1. Ah I wondered how I suddenly shot up so far in the rankings for WHFB and FOW - seemed rather odd.

  6. Two immediate names that jump out as missing for 40k are Buttle and Dan, I'm sure there are others.

  8. What did everyone make of the email from RHQ about game systems needing an affiliated sponsor? I can see Battlefront looking after FOW rankings for NZ, but what about WHFB & 40k?
