DISCLOSURE:If you do not read the rules, you are still 100% accountable to the rules, so it is wise to take the time to read them for your own personal benefit .Previous threads (for reference):Post 1Post 2General Ladder Rules- Players must be off each others' map before saying go

Ladder Sign ups and Structure:- Sign ups will be taken in the order that they are posted
- When signing up, use this format: (Be sure to Copy/Paste this format if you wish to join; replacing the "xxxxx" with your information. I will NOT register you, if you sign up Incorrectly)
D2JSP Account: xxxxxx
Battle.net Account: xxxxxx
Character: xxxxxx (character type)
Creating a new character on the same ladder:- If you wish to change your character, you must restart from the bottom
- If you remake your character (to change name or account, for example), you may retain your position, but only if the character remains essentially the same
- Respecing your character is allowed, but only if changes made are minor. If you make any significant changes, you must restart from the bottom. This is to be judged at moderator discretion
Challenges:- When challenging on the ladder, post all information for both participants and send a personal message to the player you challenged ASAP. You must send a PM for it to be a valid challenge. You may not challenge someone who is already engaged in a previous challenge
Example:
2.
D2JSP Account: xxxxxx
Battle.net Account: xxxxxx
Character: xxxxxx (character type)
vs
1.
D2JSP Account: xxxxxx
Battle.net Account: xxxxxx
Character: xxxxxx (character type)
- 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
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
One screenshot showing left-click skills, with map and time shown
One screenshot of message log showing at least 1 kill, with time shown
