Challenge the Ranked Battle with your best shot this autumn!

This is the 3rd Ranked Battle since its revival. Based on previous event results and user feedback, we have updated some rules and features to make Ranked Battles even more enjoyable.

In the September Ranked Battle, photo eligibility has been updated to photos taken within 90 days, and new rules have been introduced for ranking tie-breaking criteria as well as final-day score visibility.

Will you compete with your favorite shot saved from summer vacation, or take a fresh photo during Silver Week? Compete with your proudest photo and aim for the top ranks over the 3-day event!

The top 10 players in the rankings will receive an "Exclusive Ranking Battle Photo Frame" to use when sharing photos. Furthermore, users who hit specific ranks or vote during the event period will also have a chance to win exclusive photo frames.

It is a short event, but we look forward to your participation!

Main Changes from Previous Event

Based on previous event results and user feedback, the main updates for this month are as follows:

• Changed Eligible Photo Conditions:
  • In addition to standard Main Battle entry rules, only photos taken within the last 90 days (including the current day) are eligible. (e.g., If participating on September 30, photos taken between July 3 and September 30 are eligible.)
• Added Ranking Tie-Breaking Criteria:
  • If players tie with the same total score, the player with fewer total battles will be ranked higher as before.
  • Furthermore, a new tie-breaker has been added: if total battle counts are also identical, the player with fewer total victories will be ranked higher.
• Hidden "SCORE" Display on Final Day:
  • To maintain a fairer ranking competition, the "SCORE" display on the ranking page will be hidden on the final day of the Ranked Battle.
  • For this event, "SCORE" will not be displayed from September 30, 2026 (Wed) 00:00 (UTC) until the end of the Ranked Battle.
  • Even while SCORE is hidden, participation in Ranked Battles and score calculation will continue as normal.
• Improved Navigation to Ranked Battle Page:
  • The Ranked Battle page has been updated so that it can be viewed even after the event ends, allowing access outside the event period.
