These is how updating ranks will be handled on a weekly basis.

At the end of the week the best record in a tier moves to the lowest spot of the tier above, worst record in a tier moves to the highest spot in the tier below.
Rank 1 is decided by best record in tier 1. The ladder adjusts itself to account for people dropping. The lowest tier in the ladder can be expanded to account for new signups during the week.

Example: (Completely random example, has nothing to do with the actual current standings.)


This would result in these rankings the following week:

Tournament will be multi class.
Each participant that advances will denote 3 classes they will be playing with.
We will use random.org to decide which classes will be used for each match.

Example:
Seed 1 will be using Trap(1), Nec(2), Barb(3)
Seed 8 will be using Nec(1), Druid(2), Hdin(3)

roll 1-3 for seed 1. result - 2
roll 1-3 for seed 8. result - 1

Seed 1 vs Seed 8 NvN.

Someone being removed from the ladder will forfeit any uncompleted duels in their tier for the week.
