I agree too. This is simple enough to be easily programmed.

This looks like the factor of    wins to losses.
So 8-4 would be the nearly the same rank as 10-5, but better rank than 10-6.
Gladiators with no wins would have rank 0, subranked by losses.
Only ranks with zero 4-0 must be handled specially.
