Abstract
In one example, a system for ranking sports players is provided. The system includes display logic operable to display two players from a plurality of players, and selection logic operable to store a selection of one of the two players by a user. The system further includes logic operable to rank the players based upon user selections of the players. The system may pair players, e.g., select a first player and a second player for display and selection by a user, based on their relative rankings. In one example, a first player is selected and the second player is selected based on the ranking of the first player such that closely ranked players are paired for selection by users with greater frequency than remotely ranked players.
