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

- 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 losing a challenge to a user a grace period comes into effect. The victor of a match does not have to accept your challenge until 72 hours has passed. However, if they chose, they may ignore this grace period and accept

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". The challenger will need to provide proof of pm sent ( screenshot ). A 24 hour extention may be granted given reasonable explanation of needing one if asked before the 3 days is up. I will be extremely strict on this, 3 days and I nothing posted from either person it will be ruled a DODGE not null. ( Challenged person it is your responsibility to defend your spot, if you dont post or answer pm's you failed to do this. )

Null duels may be called in rare cases ( i.e. ) 2 play pm tag and just cannot be on at same time.

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 asked

One screenshot showing left-click skills, with map and time shown
One screenshot of message log showing at least 1 kill, with time shown

These screenshots can be hosted at sites like imageshack or tinypic
