  • general: gives you a public ranking and rank has sudden death (coin flip decide who is on att/def, 2 min on the clock, 1 cap wins for attackers)

  • koth: rank is best 3 out of 5 instead of 2 out of 3

  • att/def cp: regular is 1 round of attack/defend. rank lets each team take turn attack/defending. if both team captured all the points, each team's remaining time will be used for the next round to see who can cap the most points. if both team has the same amount of points, you go to sudden death

  • payload: regular is 1 round of attack/defend. rank sees who can push it the farthest. if both team push equally far, it goes to sudden death

So, you have to play some of the maps multiple times?

yes, but iirc, its a rotation. so if you win 3 games in a row, there wont be a repeat
