A plea to the players...

the difference between a few ranks doesn't matter, but nobody likes to drop out of the top 12. The boards aren't totally accurate, but the strongest players still generally end up on the 1st page. And it's a good incentive to improve your skills.

Since my style is usually to wound my opponent then close in for the kill, I lose credit for a lot of kills. So it's not easy to outrank heavy shooters like Mergirvin or Cosmo79. But I was #2 behind Mergirvin for a while, and I didn't mind seeing that on the dogfight board. Most of us would be lying if we said we didn't care about our level. Not all, but most...

the board for CTA is also pretty accurate since your points are based on successful landings and captures. It's right to rank wpedra0 #1.

Since you're gonna be in the team tournament, make sure to practice CTA. Most people don't. It will matter.
