Here are the NEGOTIABLE rules:
II. Challenges â
⢠Challenges will be the sole basis of this league, whereas some leagues randomly define matches for players, this league will allow you to challenge players that you wish to compete against.
⢠All challenges must be displayed in the appropriate forum designed for challenges only. No challenges will be allowed outside of the forum. Any challenges not located in the forums will not be validated by the league staff.
⢠Players who have been challenged have a maximum of 3 days to respond to the challenge and set up a tentative match date in the forum designed for matches only. Once the match date has been setup, the players will have 4 days to play the match or else a forfeit will occur and both players will lose points as if they had lost the match.
⢠All players must answer any player that challenges them. No one will be allowed to turn down a challenge or refuse to play anyone who challenges them. Remember this is meant to be fun, fair, AND active.
⢠If a player does not honor his/her challenger he will forfeit the match and lose points as designated in the points section of the rules.
⢠Players may not issue out multiple challenges at any one time. All outstanding matches must be played before challenging another player. Players may, however, challenge multiple players in a short period of time if each challenge is done while no other challenges are waiting to be handled.
* A player cannot challenge anyone ranked 5 ranks higher or lower than him/her.
IV. Scoring & Points â
* As of right now there are two ideas present for scoring... the CloudFuel method and the AcidHead method.. while both carry many similarities they also have STARK contrasts.. so PLEASE criticize or comment either one and help us make this league work!
My method:
In the first stages of the league, everyone would play 1 or 2 matches in order to get some points on the board, but the finalized method for my theory is as follows:
Each player can only challenge 5 ranks higher or lower than he/she is presently ranked.
Challenger - For a win the challenger gains 5 points if the challenger player is ranked below him/her and 5 points for a win over a player ranked higher. If the player that is challenged is ranked higher and is beaten, then the challenger also receives bonus points that equal the difference in rank between the players. If the players are tied in rank, no extra points are given. If the challenger loses, then he/she loses 5 points no matter where the challenged player is ranked.
Challenged - For a win over the challenger, this player will receive 5 points if the challenger is ranked below this player and 5 points plus a bonus if the player is ranked above. A loss by this player would result in 5 points lost no matter where the challenger is ranked
We would then rank the players based on their overall points.
