In rated games ( = custom games that count towards the global rating) the minimum of time that needs to pass before the game becomes rated is 60 seconds per player in the game. I.e. in a 6 player game, it becomes rated after 6 minutes real time (NOT ingame time). Pausing the game doesn't delay this limit, it always counts the time from when the game starts. If an ACU gets killed, the rating is enforced and the game is always rated independently of how much time has passed.
Ranked games ( = ladder games) always count towards your ranking in the leaderboards.
