Yes. There should be
serdb_get_ranking(user)
and
userdb_give_ranking_points(user, user2, amount)
methods.
This would easy debugging and testing the ranking - you could test the  
ranking without having to use external database.

Displaying the ranking in the pregame screen will surely attract more  
players. Currently not all players know that there is a ranking on  
pubserver.
