Customs Community Ladder

Each player begins the season with 100 points.  The season lasts exactly 1 month, starting in June so: from June 1 through July 1 (including from 12:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. on both of those days.  Games are played in sets, best of 3 style.  The player who is challenged is allowed the first map selection, the loser of the game selects the next map, and the loser of that picks the next (if necessary).  All speeds are F, unless both parties agree before the match that a slower speed is acceptable.  The additional map settings are noted below, next to the list of allowed Customs Ladder maps.

I'm thinking about offering cash prizes if we get a lot of involvement.  Wouldn't be much, like $50 for highest score at the end of the season, $25 for second, etc.

If you're interested and serious about participating, email me by clicking this >>>LINK<<< or sending it to: [email protected].  I'll put up a forum if there's interest.

All matches are 1v1.  Watchers are allowed if both parties agree.  Either player can demand a SS at any time during the game, which must be forwarded within 24 hours otherwise the match will be declared invalid.  The winner of a match gains 5 points, plus 1 point per 10 (or fraction thereof) in score differential.  If your score is 102 and your opponent’s score is 125, you would gain 7 points (5 for the win, and 1 more since 102 would give 1 additional point to 112 rated opponents, 2 more for opponents rated up to 122, and 3 additional points as an opponent greater than 122 but les than 132.)  This functions inversely as well.  Using the same example (one player at 102, his opponent at 125).  If the player rated 125 wins, he would gain 2 points (5 base, less 3 for the rating differential between his 125 score and his opponents 102 score).  Neither party is penalized from losing, although a sandbag is earned (sandbags will be discussed later).

Remember that points are earned at the end of a match, no single game impacts your ladder score at all.  Victors are responsible for recording SS, although it’s not required that SS be turned in – so long as both agree to the outcome of a particular match.  A player may challenge any other if both are online and not already committed to or in a game.  If the challenged party is not willing to play (without justifiable reason), he incurs a sandbag.  Sandbags vanish after 1 week of the LAST incurred bag (so if you get 1 bag on the 4^th, another on the 6^th and a third on the 10^th, you have all 3 since at no time did a week pass without incurring one).  Disconnects void the game (it must be replayed unless both parties agree it had already been decided), and also force 1 sandbag to the disconnector.  If a player ever has 5 or more sandbags, he immediately loses 10 points.

No two players can match more than twice per week.  Any additional matches during the same week will invalidate any points gained/lost by those matches, and penalize each player by 10 points per match.

The following list is supposed to include all active customs players.  If anyone is missing, sorry - these are all that I was able to come up with.  It's important that there be a known list of players, so that ppl can't smurf in the ladder on multiple names.  Email me or post on the forum if your not listed and want to be included.
