Rules at their last revision:
What has changed:
Added a clarification to Vacation status along with some other clarifications (Rule #13-15)
Committed the ladder to Non-Tap
Changed the was you start duels, as well as the location of official duel games to act 1 nightmare, for fury druids. Sage is immune to phys and therefore less likely to get sniped in nightmare.1) Have fun!! (No rage, drama, BM, or bullshit you will be removed/banned if there are multiple complaints about you).
2) To be added to the Ladder post "Jsp Name: Char Name (D2 Acct) - Level ## Character Type".
3) Allowed to challenge up to 2 ranks above you until you get to #3 then you must duel #2, then #1.
4) You must PM the other party about the challenge FIRST then post challenge in this topic.
5) GM Melee Rules (as quoted below) apply to all duels.
6) Challenge will be best 2/3 sets. The winner of each set will be the first to six. You must win each set by atleast 2 duels.
7) You may change gear 1 time during a set and 1 time between each set.
8) If you issued the Challenge you must wait 12 hours after it's completion to issue another Challenge.
9) If you lose a Challenge you must wait 48 Hours to re-challenge the same person.
10) 3-Day Dodge Rule (Afk, no-reply, no-show = auto-loss) 2 consecutive "dodges" = removed from Ladder.
11) If you cannot complete your Challenge on time it is your responsibility to PM your Challenger to inform them.
Once you've informed them, post in this Topic and ask for an extension. If you fail to do this Dodge Rule will be enforced.
¥ annotates a single dodge
12) For those who don't know: Only 4 attacks are allowed. Zeal, Concentrate, Jab, and Fury.
13) Vacation Status: If you go on vacation while in the middle of a challenge, you will receive a dodge for that duel unless you are back before the 3 day maximum. If you will be on vacation for longer then 3 days, you will be placed at the bottom of the ladder. This is an active pvp competition, if you will not be on to take place you will have to work your way back up. I understand things come up, that is why I put the 3 day qualification on there.
14) Removal from the ladder: No removal is permanent unless you have violated rule #1. You may always request to join again.
15) You can only be in 1 challenge at a time. Do not challenge someone if they are in a challenge already, and do not challenge someone if you already have a duel pending.________________________________________________________________________

Special Mention
[Duel Games] - All official duel games are to be made in NIGHTMARE difficulty. This is for the fury druids. If you are not dueling a druid, it is not as important.
[Starting Duel] - Both players are to state "G" or "GO" so that it is visible in the message log.
[Miss-Clicking] - Continue fighting
[Glitched Strength] - Auto DQ will result if you die and can't pick up gear
[Chilling Armor] - Must not be on prior to a duel, Referee to kill off surviving player with chilling armor
[Holyshield] - Do not cast holyshield prior to gear change. if you casted hs and changed gear, Referee will have to kill off the player and recast hs
[Running into/during Duel] - Point awarded to opponent
[Draws] - If neither player survives a walk back to town, counts as a draw. No point awarded to either player
[Use of Exile/Tap Gear] - This is strictly forbidden. Not exile/tap gear is allowed.
[Referees] - A Referee will hereby be deemed to be someone who understands the rules thoroughly and can be a fair judge to both parties engaged in the duel. The Referee is there to provide a third-party ruling, and to confirm the results for those not present. To be a Referee you MUST be a part of the GM Melee Ladder, unless both parties agree before-hand that you are fit to be a Referee. It is not hard to be a Referee. You just have to be on a character that can kill a melee character if they break a rule. Casters work just fine.
[The use of hacks and/or mods] - The use of hacks and/or mods is strictly forbidden, given that the said hack and/or mod modifies the way you duel. No fhr/ias/frw/fcr modding, no auto-aim (if you can't aim in melee you need to find a different sport) and no chicken/tp chicken. If you have to ask if something is banned, it most likely is. Use common sense. If you are suspected of using hacks and/or mods the Referee will ask that you type ?ver and/or take a screenshot and PM it to them/the other dueler. Refusal to do either will result in an auto-loss for the entire challenge. The use of a Loader is OK, as long as that loader does not have any of the aforementioned features.
[Betting] - Betting is COMPLETELY optional. You may bet if you wish, however you may not force someone to wager. It has to be a mutual agreement between the two of you.

Omittance
Anything not mentioned here is subject to Referee's decision, and is final
To clarify something, because 2 different people asked me this question and I didn't have an adequate answer at the time:
-Do not prebuff ---- This does not ban BO'ing. You may bo if you have a CTA on your backside, or if you are a Barbarian. This means that what you precast with must be what you wear to duel/on your backside.<Challenging>
1) You are allowed to challenge up to 2 ranks above you until you get to #3 then you must duel #2, then #1.
2) You must PM the other party about the challenge FIRST then post challenge in this topic.
3) Challenge will be best 2/3 sets. The winner of each set will be the first to six. You must win each set by atleast 2 duels.
4) All GM Melee Rules apply (as can be viewed in post #106 of this thread)
5) If you issued the Challenge you must wait 12 hours after it's completion to issue another Challenge.
6) If you lose a Challenge you must wait 48 Hours to re-challenge the same person.
7) 3-Day Dodge Rule (Afk, no-reply, no-show = auto-loss) 2 consecutive "dodges" = removed from Ladder.
8) If you cannot complete your Challenge on time it is your responsibility to PM your Challenger to inform them.
Once you've informed them, post in this Topic and ask for an extension. If you fail to do this Dodge Rule will be enforced.
