9 Once the ranking is established, matches are often against the same players. This leads to less pleasurable matches than with varying opponents. Furthermore, personal achievements like reaching a certain spot in the ladder can become possible for lower ranking players depending on the activity in each season. Additionally, the frustration of experienced players being beaten by newcomers in competitive matches is lessened, as it's not a permanent mark. This allows for more relaxation in a season where one isn't feeling in ones best form or just wants to try new strategies. 9 Once the ranking is established, matches are often against the same players.
