Two questions new players ask immediately: where to find their ranking and where to start learning beyond the tutorial.

The official BAR rating leaderboard lives at the ratings leaderboard. This page shows global rankings sorted by OS rating. You can find your position, see how you compare to other players, and track how your rating shifts match by match.
Every player starts somewhere. The leaderboard exists so you can measure your own progress, not to shame anyone for starting position. A new player checking the leaderboard their first day will always find themselves near the bottom. That is the expected result, not a reflection of potential.
The BAR newcomer channels compile everything a fresh player needs: tutorials, strategy guides, unit references, and community event schedules. The newcomer channel on the BAR Discord serves as the central hub for all of these resources.
Recommended starting sequence:
The best learning resources matter less when you use them in isolation. Pair them with teammates who answer questions without condescension and you accelerate past the early wall every new player hits.
