Overall rank: the more songs you play, the more points you get, the higher your rank.

(EXAMPLE)
stats for Flaming_Dingleberry:
Excite Bike 34,000
One Minute Waltz 153,010
Death Piano 1,152,990

Top Overall Rankings:
Sprite- 432,249,500
Flaming_Dingleberry 1,340,000 [i.e. (34,000+153,010+1,152,990)
Ryoha 529,095

Average rank: your rank on every song is averaged out into one rank.

(EXAMPLE)
stats for Flaming_Dingleberry:
Excite Bike 1
One Minute Waltz 254
Death Piano 53

Top Average Rankings:
Sprite- 2
Flaming_Dingleberry 103 [i.e. (1+254+53)/3]
Ryoha 5,152

Playing songs over and over again will increase your overall score/rank, however the number of times you play a song doesn't affect your average rank, unless you improve your previous rank.

Your average rank is your combined ranks on each and every song. If you want a better average rank, you have to do good on each and every song, unlike the overall rank, which is purely based on your total score (or how MUCH you play).

FFFFUUUUU NINJA'D

[lukestepwalker]

your average rank is the average u rank on each song

for instance

rank.1 death piano
rank.5 reality
your average rank would be 3 if these were the only two songs on ffr
but since there are so many u have to play all songs and make your ranks on each 1 lower in order to improve your average rank.

overall rank is just your grandtotal score rising and rising
average is better than overall rank thats my statement now some 1 make it ezer for him*_^

Average rank ranks you by your average score.

Overall rank is based on grand total score.
Average rank is based on the average of your rank on every song.

Edit: damned ninjas
Edit2: Aw hellll nawww Flaming_Dingleberry massive edit **** you
Edit3: Flaming_Dingleberry, you're still wrong lol. Average rank is based on your rank, not scores. Ofcourse better scores give you better ranks, but they're not calculated by scores.

Ryoha, do you understand?

[MinaciousGrace]

to answer the second part of your question, overall and average rank are both meaningless (unless av is <5)
