Attention:

Rule Update Ratified by the Ladder Council

A majority vote has been taken by the Ladder Council with the total tallied votes of 4 to 1 in favor of the following rule change:

1. Only the top three ranks must be challenged one-at-a-time (e.g. Rank #3 must challenge Rank #2 before earning the chance to challenge Rank #1).

Reasons: To prevent Rank #3 from skipping over Rank #2 to challenge and possibly win Rank #1 without honorably advancing through the top three and most important ranks one-at-a-time. We reduced this requirement from the top five ranks to the top three ranks because of several complaints and congestion, but we feel that the top three ranks, as the most important ones, should be well-deserved and honorably earned (as well as more challenging), rather than skipping over one of the Ladder's best players that might have very well stopped such a skip in a legal match.

Yup Dodge was applied against you on Feb 7th's update by dark-soul

34. Mtd433/Mtd433/Averel- Conc vs 33. Barbarianalliance/bloodsport/Northmen- Conc -- Feb 3

See page #53 and #54.

Just make sure you get your next challenge done and the 'tag' will be removed with no after-effects.

Question about new rules, when I was rank 5 I got challenged by ranks 6 and 7. Am I (rank 4) allowed to challenge rank 2?

i need removed from the ladder
got rid of fury dru
was fun though

Top 3 Ranks must be challenged one at a time:
To clarify these in simpler words, if you issue a Challenge to anyone ranked #1 to #3, they must be only 1 rank above you for the challenge to be allowed.



Was glad having you, welcome you back if you make another melee next time

Someone stop kwan before he gets all top 3 spots
