not typing mistakes... it's just written the way legal matters are typically written... 'long winded and slightly confusing.' :blink::wacko::rolleyes::D
Basically here's the gist of it:
Cheating -
* Do not cheat or you're gone from the league, no questions asked.
Playing Matches -
* The first player to win 15 sets wins the overall match.
* Players need to make demo's of their match.
* Players need to list their upcoming match in the Ricochet League\Matches forum with the date/time posted as well.
* A screenshot of the final outcome of the match is needed from both players in the match forum as well (keep it to one thread.. ie - NoosevsCloudFuel).
Challenges -
* You have to list your challenges in the Ricochet League\Challenges forum as Blah challenges Blah (acid challenges slasher), etc. etc.
* Once challenged, a player has 3 days to respond to the challenge and then 4 days from the date he/she responds to actually play the match. No this does NOT mean you have 7 days.. if you respond to the challenge the day of the challenge, you have 5 days, etc. etc.
* You cannot turn down a challenge.
* If you do not respond to your challenge you will be declared a forfeit loss = -3 points.
* If the players do not play their match, BOTH will be declared a forfeit loss = -3 points.
* You cannot *spam* challenges, you can only challenge one player at a time. THEN once you have played your match you can challenge another player.
* You can't challenge someone who's ranked 5 ranks higher or lower than you... ie - 10 can challenge up to 5 and down to 15.
Points/Scoring/Ranking -
* Playing someone ranked below you: If you win you get 5 points, if you lose you get -3 points.
* Playing someone ranked above you: If you win you get 5 points plus an additional bonus that is the difference between the ranks (ie, 10 beats 5, 10-5=5, so rank 10 gets 5 points for the win, PLUS 5 bonus points), if you lose you still get -3 points.
* Ranking is calculated by highest number of points to lowest.
My idea behind the point scoring is that... you should get awarded for challenging higher ranked players, but not punished for playing lower ranked players... so you just don't get anything special for beating a lower ranked player. I also wanted a "risk" factor, in that, if you should win, yay, you get X amount of points.. but if you lose... you also lose points as well. I don't want players to LOSE more just because they lost to someone ranked lower than them.. so the "loss" points are the same.
Make sense now?:)
