The WSA pyramid tourney layout

The Rules:

1. The goal is to climb the ladder as high as you can. So you may only challenge someone higher on the ladder than yourself, or accept a challenge from someone lower on the ladder than yourself.

2. To be considered part of this tournament, the game must be clearly labeled as a part of this specific ladder- The white swords pyt. The challenge and the results should also be posted in this thread so that other members know who is available for challenging, and who is not.

3. You may only play in ONE ladder game at a time. Courtesy would dictate that if you just completed a game in which you issued the challenge to someone higher than you, you should give someone lower than you the chance to challenge you before issuing another challenge. However, if a couple days go by and no one has challenged you, feel free to send out another one.

4. The challenge must be from the original starting position, and have color assigned randomly. All other variables are at the discretion of the two players, but some agreement must be reached. If a player simply refuses to accept a challenge on any terms, they will be placed at the bottom as unavailable (please let me know if that happens - you may need to send them a message first to get around their settings). The games may be unrated.

5. If the player on the higher rung wins, there is no change to the ladder.

6. If the player on lower rung wins, that player now occupies the rung formerly held by the higher player. The higher player and all players between them slide down one spot as a result.

7. In case of a draw, the player on the higher rung maintains his position, and the lower player moves to the rung just below the higher player. All players between them slide down one spot as a result.

8. You may only challenge someone up to 10% higher on the ladder than yourself. So if we have 30 members (including those who have opted out of this ladder tournament), then you can challenge someone 3 rungs higher than you. At 160, you can challenge someone 16 rungs higher than you, etc

I think that covers everything. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to post them here.
