Side note -- for folks who aren't into multiplayer games, the idea of having a ranked vs casual mode might sound like one of those things that is designed to accomodate people who want bragging rights, wag their e-penis around, etc. It's not. As far as I can tell, other players can't even see what level you are. The purpose in keeping ranked mode locked until level 20 is that it guarantees that very experienced players are separated from those just learning the game. This helps prevent noobs from getting crushed as they are learning the game, and it helps skilled players from getting their rounds completely ruined by the mistakes noobs inevitably make.
