Everyone starts at the bottom.
Points come from placing in bouts and tournaments. Nothing else moves you up — you can’t buy a rank, and you can’t get one without other writers choosing your script.

The page count comes from your PDF, never from a form. The format is yours to choose — but only from the ones your real page count could plausibly be, so nobody files a feature as a short to find an easier pool.
