If you have a published movie (whether current or obsolete), you will get a Player rank. Which Player rank you get depends on your currently published movies and their rating.

The formula for a player's score
Each player will get a score Z, which is determined by the following formula:

- Take the rating of one of your published movies to the power of X.
- Divide it by the number of authors of that movie to the power of Y.
- Do this for all your published movies and add the numbers you get, this will give you your score, Z.

• N is your total amount of published movies.
• i stands for your 'i'th published movie
• X is determined by how important high ratings are considered to be. For instance, if X=0, then ratings don't matter at all, and only the amount of movies is considered. If X=1, you will just be adding the ratings of your movies. If X is bigger than 1, movies with higher ratings will count heavier.
• Y is determined by how much team movies count. If Y=0, the authors will get the full amount of points for the movie, the same amount an author would get if he had made the movie alone. If Y=1, you divide the amount of points a movie would get equally of the authors.
• Z is the result of the formula.

Determining the values for X and Y
Generally one movie with a rating of 9.0 is liked better than two movies with a 4.5 rating. As discussed above, this means that X needs to be bigger than 1. The value for X that was chosen is X=2.5.

A TAS with two authors generally takes more work than half the work it would have taken to make it alone, but making the TAS with two authors doesn't take as much work as making it alone. Therefore a logical value for Y is somewhere between 0 and 1. The value for Y that was chosen is Y=0.5.

Example
Suppose you have four published movies by yourself, which have the following ratings: 5.8, 6.7, 7.7, 9.0
You also have one published movie that you made with two other people, which is rated a 8.3
Z = 5.8^2.5 + 6.7^2.5 + 7.7^2.5 + 9.0^2.5 + (8.3^2,5)*(3^-0.5) = 719

Player ranks
Your value for Z determines your Player rank:

Player rank	Z
Former player	Z<1
Player	1≤Z<250
Active player	250≤Z<500
Experienced player	500≤Z<1000
Skilled player	1000≤Z<2000
Expert player	Z≥2000

Note that your score for obsoleted movies is multiplied by a very small number. This way, they don't count towards your score, but they do keep your score non-zero, which means that people who had all of their movies obsoleted will get the Former player rank.

Your score is displayed after your player rank (for example, if you see "Player (146)", your score is 146) and in your forum profile.

If you don't have a manually assigned forum rank, and have never made a movie that was published, you will get a Member rank. Which Member rank you get depends on the amount of forum posts you have made.

Forum Rank	Number of forum posts
Nobody	0
Lurker	1-3
Newbie	4-29
Member	30-99
Active member	100-499
Vested member	500 or more
