A scoring system used in both real life and video games. It can be numeral (#1, #2, #3...) or with letters (S, A, B, C...). The picture must clearly show that the numbers or letters are meant to represent winners and/or losers (not always both) or how good the characters fare in a competition.
Ranking displays the final result AFTER the competition is over, not during.
