yrenz isn't on our ladder so that would be a no. A turtle ladder challenge should be clearly labelled as such and announced on this thread. Otherwise isa just a normal challenge...also fun :-)
The Chess Turtle Ladder Tournament Part 2

Thank you all so very much for doing this!!!
I've been working 9 days a week lately (4 days and 5 nights last week, 3 days and 6 nights the week before) and have barely had enuf time to sign on and keep my games from timing out (haven't been entirely successful in that either (30% time outs in the last 90 days )).
I have promoted Humean to admin in The Chess Turtles and accepted his challenge for the top spot.
Thanks again for all your help everybody!!!! You guys ROCK!!!
I have excepted the challenge from Methos_CFC
Here's the game.

Hello... I just joined the group and would like to be placed on the ladder. Even though I am not officially listed, I challenged Leftywin to a match, as he is the lowest player not currently playing a game in the tournament. If this is not acceptable, then the game would not count and I can make a proper challenge once I am on the posted ladder. The challenge in the requested format is:
#39 justdewit vs. #37 Leftywin

Hi, welcome to the group and the ladder tournament!
No worries, we're flexible here I've added you to the ladder and added your challenge...good luck!

Well I just won my game for spot numero uno from Billium....on time
Here's the link to the result http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=43125700
I'll adjust the ladder

im new in this group and i want to participate in the ladder tournament.
i read the rules.
how can i play a game that will be included in the ladder tournament.
do i have to mention it to somenone?
It's my understanding that you can't challenge someone who is more then four ranks above yourself, so you'll have to start off at the bottom of the ladder. Plus, the individual can't already be playing a Turtle ladder challenge game, so check the start of this thread for anyone who may be currently playing. Once you've picked an opponent, then click on their user profile and there will be a link that says something like "Challenge This Player", or something like that. In the remarks mention to them its a Turtle ladder challenge. Once they've accepted, then post it in this thread with a link to the game.
I hope that helps.
Is my game against YRENZ (http://www.chess.com/echess/profile/YRENZ) valid for this? I was suddenly pitted against him in a game and wasn't sure if it was Turtle-related.
