Ranks and boards

Colony and Four in a Row each get a rating, worked out from games the server has checked. Players never see the number, only a rank. Below: three ways to name the ranks, then the screens with the one I'd pick.

Your calls: which rank names (A, B or C), and whether the screens are right. Swipe each row sideways on a phone.

Rank names

All three work the same way. "New" until 10 games are played. Then a rank that goes up when you get better. It drops only after a clear slide, never after one bad game, and a drop is never announced.

Screens, with B

The same on the web and in the app. Boards open on your own place, with the top one tap away.

Finding players

Tap any name on a board.
