I will update the standings regularly (more than once a week). If I would get inactive (I don't think I will) someone may copy the standings and update in a new comment in this forum. Hopefully that won't be necessary though.

Here it is the Economy Chess Ladder Tournament!
Basically this is a never-ending tournament where the goal is to get to the top of the ladder by winning against someone higher up in the ladder. Please note that the rules are subject to change.
Rules:
1. To join post a comment in this forum
2. Everyone starts at the bottom of the ladder.
3. How to advance in the ladder
3.1 You may play against someone up to 4 positions above or below you.
3.2 Make sure both players understand it is a ladder game.
3.3 The games must be Economy Chess games, the rules for the game is up for the players agreement, but no handicap or engines allowed. Also, if both players agrees it can be a match with more than 1 game (like 2 or 3 for example).
3.4 If the higher player wins both players keep their positions
3.5 If the lower player wins then the players swap positions.
3.6 If it is a draw both players keep their positions.
4. When a match is finished. Post the results here, even if the positions ends up the same we want to see that there was activity here. If it was an interesting game, you may post it in the game archive forum.
5. If someone becomes inactive for a long time they might get removed from the ladder, but is free to join again and will start from the bottom like everyone else.
6. If you want to quit the ladder just post a comment in this forum saying you want to quit.
7. Remember the most important thing is to enjoy playing this chess variant and even if someone is outside of your range you may still play non-ladder games.
