Subject: Suggestion for separating competition rankings by map type

I would like to suggest the implementation of separate rankings for different types of competitions.

To give you an example from my own experience: I am a PS5 user (my username is: lucyrex69). I am consistently able to finish in the Top 5 in most ocean map competitions; however, I struggle significantly on freshwater maps, where I fall well below any competitive ranking.

I feel the current system is unfair because I can only compete at the highest level on ocean maps, which only account for three locations. On all other maps, I have no real chance.

I believe that introducing separate rankings per map type would provide players with a fair chance across all fishing locations. It would discourage players from intentionally lowering their rankings or engaging in other questionable behavior, allowing everyone to play for fun, which is the main goal of the player base.

Perhaps a solution would be to allow players to choose their skill tier once per competition or per location. Alternatively, you could implement a system where a player's rank could drop by only one tier after a loss, with a minimum floor to prevent dropping more than two levels, thus discouraging unnecessary rule-breaking or manipulation.
