I wasnt starting a coversation about ladders so the post could disappear down the page, I was saying I would run one if there is enough interest.

I know Fencer is happy with them but I think they are probably a low priority on his to do list at the moment.

Could you please explain (simply) what the ladders system is all about ? how it differs from ratings ? I don't play at other sites where they have this, so have no idea how it works.. cheers :0)

c&p'd BBW post just for Niki ;o)

Overview of ladders. (each system is a little different, but here is an overview)

Everyone starts at the bottom of the ladder - "Rung 1" (or Rung 10 depending on the ladder)

For each 2 people on Rung 1, they play the game. The winner moved up, the loser moved down (or stays at the bottom)

Then when 2 players are on Rung #2, they play. The winner will go to Rung #3, the loser will go back down to Rung #1.

That's the basics of a ladder system.
