Welcome to the Crown Melee Ladder!
Feel free to join at any time. We will be using this week to allow initial registration and will post the first official update with the inaugural standings on Thursday, 04/04/2019. This will give our initial participants the weekend to challenge and get their first duels in.

The inaugural standings will be determined by any character's current standing on the UGML and on a first come first serve basis. The higher that your character is on the UGML standings then the higher your character will be on the CML's inaugural standings. Any characters registered will be ranked based on when they posted to register their character - first come first serve.

Here are some highlights and nuances to the Crown Melee Ladder.
These rules were put in place to help balance the ladder and allow all classes of Melee characters a fair shot to compete for the crown of champion. Please familiarize yourself with these and all of the ladder's rules before registering a character and competing in a ladder duel.
