Can > anyone tell me what these are, and what they mean? Thanks. Well, they aren't random. Currently, they signify how many rounds you have won without getting terminated. medallion = one round. MKII symbol = 10 rounds Gold MKII symbol = 50 rounds Note, if you lose one round of a match you win in 3 (or 4) rounds, you get the 2 rounds credit and don't lose the run. It is only reset when you are terminated. Apparently, it is eventually going to be a rating system, but it is mere speculation currently, about the how, when, and why, of it all. What would rank a 5-star....er, medallion, performance?
