maybe not the right section...if it isn't please move(thank you)

anyone know how they do the Guild Rankings...because to me it looks like it's way off....

Guild Ladder

now I don't want to pull out my calculator and get all geeky on everyone...but look at the top 3 Guilds.

Zpzg Guild 135 wins 20 losses
Sissy Boys 221 wins 48 losses
??Š??????????”„ ????ˆ??�„ 63 wins 4 losses

is the third ranked guild an error in the display or is that the guilds name?
if it's not an error...then why are they not ranked 1? they win 15 matches for every loss they take...compared to the ZpZg guild that wins roughly 6 times for every loss and the Sissy Boys who win roughly 4 times for every loss.

for that matter why is Team Union ranked 5 when they win 12 times for every loss....can anyone explain this?

It's ranked according to Guild Rating, not win/loss record. It's done this way, so that the strength of your opponent is taken into account, so you can't just fight low level teams and get to #1. Here's how it works:

If you beat a high ranked team, you get a large boost in Guild Rating.
If you beat a low ranked team, you get small boost in Guild Rating.
If you lose to a high ranked team, you lose a small amount of Guild Rating.
If you lose to a low ranked team, you lose a large amount of Guild Rating.

and that messed-up guild name is probably a Korean guild.

Ineed it is a Korean guild. The actual letters (if that's what they call them), show up correctly for me. May be your computer.
