4.1. What is a V:EKN number?

It is a block of numbers that Princes have to allocate to individual players the first time they take part in V:TES tournaments. V:EKN numbers identify players worldwide, and also enable them to have a V:TES-rating. A V:EKN number consists of a 3-digit Prince prefix followed by four digits (e. g., V:EKN number 3200123: 320 is the prefix of the V:EKN Prince of Paris, and 0123 is a 4-digit number assigned to the new player).

4.2. How can I get a V:EKN number?

If you do not have a V:EKN number yet, please contact a volunteer in your area (see Prince list), who will give you one.

4.3. How do I locate a player's V:EKN number?

Go to the Player Registry and search for that player by name, city, and/or country.

4.11. What is the V:TES-rating?

Each player has a rating represented by a single number. This number is sometimes referred to as RtP (rating points). Players will be ranked according to their ratings (RtP) beginning with their first tournament. That is, there is no minimum number of events a player must attend before being ranked. A player will be removed from the rankings after 12 months of inactivity (no rated tournament rounds played), but the player's rating and other statistics will be kept indefinitely (to be used when and if the player plays again). For more information about the Rating System, see (http://www.vekn.net/index.php/rating-system)

4.12. My current ranking is not showing or incomplete. Why?

That might be because your Prince or event organizer has not reported the results of one or more tournaments, and/or your National Coordinator has not approved those tournaments yet.

Vampire: The Eternal Struggle is a trading card game in which two or more players take on the roles of ancient vampires known as Methuselahs. Methuselahs are considered mere legend by younger vampires. Younger vampires think that they pursue their own ends... even as they are being used by one Methuselah to undercut the influence of another. Throughout the world, Methuselahs manipulate their minions to frustrate the designs of the other Methuselahs, just as they have for as long as they can remember. These eternal struggles, sometimes covert and subtle, sometimes open and spectacular, are collectively known as the Jyhad.
