KINGDOM OF FIFE MEMBERS CHESS LADDER

Hopefully this fullfills the gap for a members only tourny - the beauty of a chess ladder is it requires less admin (I hope) and just keeps going. I am in debt to Baz, whose Ladder on Team Scotland I have used as a template...cheers Baz!

As Baz says so well, a ladder is a never ending tournament purely for our members to help promote relationship within the group.

If you wish to join the ladder simply post your desire to do so on this topic in the forum and you will be notified when you are added. The procedure to play a game on the ladder is listed below.

LADDER RULES

1. it is only open to Kingdom of Fife members.

2 To enter players must post a message on this forum. New players begin at the bottom and work their way up.

3 Challenges can only be made to players a maximum of three spaces above your current ladder position. e.g. a player ranked 10th can challenge one ranked 7th. To post a challenge:

• post details of the challenge on this forum
• send a message to your chosen opponent
• send game challenge

4. The ladder is only for standard chess with random colour selection. A minimum time control of 3 days per move is expected, but this can be altered by agreement between players.

5. Normal chess.com rules apply and vacation time is permitted.

6. If the challenger wins the match, he/she will swap places with their opponent on the ladder. A draw or a win for the higher ranked player makes no change to the ladder.

7. All challenges must be accepted! If a challenge is not accepted within seven days (for whatever reason) the challenger will be awarded a win and positions will change on the ladder.

8. You can only play one ladder opponent at a time, finish your current game before issuing another challenge.

9. Winning players must post results on this forum for ladder positions to be changed.

welcome to the ladder randy

How does it work for online chess? Ie How does this work if I issue a challenge but then am also challenged by a lower rung...assuming of course I am neither the top or bottom?

You can only play one game at a time so if you are in play you cant be challeneged by some one else until game is finished

Sign me up :) I'm excited. A bit of healthy competition

Sign me up as well please :)
