I don't see any relationships. :(
In order to normalize your database to the third normal form (3NF), ranks should go into a separate table. And no, this isn't overkill and it will eliminate data duplication for your ranks. Not to mention that having a lookup table is very useful.
Take a look at the following link and look how the PaymentType3NF table is and how it is linked to the OrderPayment3NF table.
