Rank Clash

Pick your country’s winning category in five matchups.

How to play & scoring

Choose the category where your country outranks its opponent. Win three of five matchups to win the clash. Aim for a clean sweep.

Worked example

In a matchup, your country at rank 6 beats an opponent at rank 18 in the selected category. Winning three of the five matchups wins the clash; winning all five is a clean sweep.

Examples illustrate the rules. They are not real country statistics or answers to your round.

What to watch for

Choose a category that suits your country relative to this opponent. A country does not need to be a global leader to win the comparison. Lower rank numbers mean larger recorded values.
