1. You may challenge the player up to five positions above you on the ladder. When you join the ladder you may challenge a player in the lower 80% of the rankings for your first challenge.
2. All games should be played within 7 days of a challenge being made (unless there are extenuating circumstances) otherwise the challenger wins.
3. You should play your game at a mutually convenient time. Arrange matches with opponent via email, or contact the administrator to extend the deadline.
4. If the person being challenged does not reply within the alloted time period, then the challenger wins by default.
5. If either party is more than 20 minutes late in attending an agreed match then the late or non attender loses the match.
6. If you make a successful challenge, you take the place of the person that you beat. All other players below shuffle down one spot.
7. Matches are best of 3 with the first two games to 15, and a tiebreaker to 11 if necessary. You can alter this if you like, but make arrangements before the match.
8. Please check with your opponent any rule clarifications prior to playing. Official rules are linked below.
9. If no result has been recorded by two thirds of the way through the challnege period a reminder is emailed to both parties.
10. If no result has been recorded by the end of the challenge period a warning is sent to record the result within a few days ie- 'grace period'.
11. If no result has been recorded by the end of the grace period the challenger automatically wins.
12. If the challenger wishes to cancel the challenge they may do so from the result entry page with no consequences. Repeated cancellations are not encouraged.
13. If the challenged person (challengee) wishes to forfeit the challenge they can do so from the result entry page and the game is won by the challenger by forfeit.
14. If you cannot play matches for a period of time you may take a break from the ladder from the options page. Upon returning, you may return to the position you left but ONLY with the permission of the admin. (via email) This is to prevent 'hiding' from challenges.
