Pride and Prophecy Evaluation Tool (PPET) Rankings
The top 25 are displayed on our website's sidebar and it's worth calling out the tiers in addition to the rankings. Azura finished in a tier of their own with the only PPET ranking above 6.5 (6.76). #2-#9 finished with PPET rankings above 6, and all members of the top 25 finished with PPET rankings above 5.4. The below list shows the average PPET scores by universe (conference detailed as well), which can serve as a relative indicator of the representative power level of characters chosen, in addition to the relative power level of the universes themselves. It's important to note that these numbers are completely meaningless, and only serve as relative performance indicators.

- The Elder Scrolls (4.47, A - 4.84, B - 4.10)
- The Wheel of Time (4.49, A - 4.80, B - 4.16)

Results by Plane of Existence
Conference standings are based on win percentage within conference matchups. These standings determined the seeding of the conference tournaments. These may not align with overall win percentage and PPET rankings. There will be two conferences for each plane of existence in Season 3, therefore, the bottom 5 of A Conferences will be relegated to Conference B and the top of Conference B will be promoted to Conference A.

What's Next?
The grand championship is currently being conducted. The winner of the grand tournament will be granted one wish that will be granted by The Recruiter that will impact future seasons of The Arena. Season 3 of the Arena will feature new characters, that you can preview on the relative rankings page. There will be no new universes and limited rule changes introduced in Season 3, as I aim to bolster the content of the website. Ideally, we can get enough votes on the relative rankings throughout Season 3 so that we can switch to community ratings in future seasons of the Arena.
