These are not dueling rules, these are simply just updated ladder rules regarding the different processes one must go through to participate in the Ladder.

Creating a new character on the same ladder
- If you wish to change your character, you must restart from the bottom
- If you respec your character to a different build, you must start over from the bottom
- MINOR changes are allowed to be made if a moderator is first contacted and asked for approval to make the changes
Challenges
When challenging, you may only challenge someone up to 2 places ahead of you on the ladder. This does not mean you have to, but is advised if you wish to climb faster. The only time this rule changes is if the player two spots ahead of you has stated they will be away or on vacation. In this case you may challenge a player up to 3 places above your own. If the challenger wins, the challenger will take the place of the player he challenged. If the challenger loses, both players remain in their previous positions
----------------------------------
After a player has been challenged, they must accept the first challenge that comes to them. You may not challenge someone who is already engaged in a previous challenge. All other challenges will be pushed aside until the first match is over. After all ladder matches there is a grace period that comes into effect. The victor of a match does not have to accept another challenge until 72 hours has passed. However, if they chose, they may ignore this grace period and accept any new challenges
----------------------------------
If you would like to request a mediator to referee your duels contact one of the ones listen on the most recent ladder update and they will get back to you as soon as possible
----------------------------------
When challenging on the ladder, post all information for the participant you are challenging. Immediately after your post, you MUST send the person a PM informing them of the challenge, in the case that a pm is not sent, the duel will be nulled, MAKE SURE TO KEEP A COPY OF THE MESSAGE TO AVOID SOMEONE CLAIMING YOU NEVER PM'D THEM.
This is how to correctly challenge:

Inactivity / The Dodge Rule
After a challenge has been posted, it will stay open for 3 days. If the person defending does not accept the challenge, or the match does not take place within 3 days of the initial post, the challenger will automatically win the match due to the "dodge rule"
I will not automatically update the dodge rule for you, you must quote the original challenge made and let me know. This prevents people have already talked to their opponent about the match and are simply waiting for it to take place from losing their spot
You may not challenge someone who is already engaged in a previous challenge.
Posting Correct Screen shots
The winner of a challenge must post at least two screen shots of the duel
IF screen shots are not posted correctly, the duels are to be done over.
One screenshot showing left-click skills, with map and time shown
One screenshot of message log showing at least 1 kill, with time shown
This is an example of screenshots taken correctly:
