Yes. Although it's much better than it use to be; the ranking system seems to be some sort of combination between how many wins you have, how many team points you have and a formula of everyone's personal ranking combined. I thought it was based on your alliance's overall points only, but that wasn't the case in the last battle lineup I saw.

That being said, sometimes you get unfortunate circumstances in which certain alliances "sleep" during one battle and wake up during the next. The ranking system has no way to deal with this. So one alliance may have had 4 active participants in one matchup then in another one have 12 active participants.

For the record, my alliance is Rank 3 and has 5 very active (and only) members. We've been up against full 15 man alliances the entire time and we're tired of fighting with our backs against the wall and rod burning to stay alive. I think we're going to skip the next alliance duel entirely because it's too much work and hassle. Worst yet we're all on PDT/PST time.
