When BAR tells you to come to Discord for help but you already have an account, the issue usually relates to linking your game account with the community server. Here is how to get through the setup process.

The game may direct new players to Discord to complete registration by linking their BAR account with the community server. If you get stuck at this step, search the Discord for a channel that handles new player onboarding or account linking assistance.
BAR rating is a comparative value. Comparing a 1v1 OS rating to an 8v8 OS rating tells you almost nothing meaningful. The same rating system produces different distributions depending on game mode because team coordination changes outcomes as much as individual skill.
Chevrons show cumulative experience first. Their use in rating filters is secondary. The gap between 250 hours and 1000 hours represents a meaningful difference in game knowledge, which is why some players request experience-based filtering beyond the current chevron system.
Registration issues frustrate even patient newcomers. Creed of Champions helps new players navigate setup steps and explains rating systems without condescension.
[Crd] The first and only community I have seen that actually holds up to its values. I have honestly not had a single bad experience here.
