The Ranking System!
MyLeague has one of the simplest ranking systems ever used for
competitive play. The concept was adopted from the ranking system used
on the official Case's Ladders. We call it a "Ladder" because each member
holds a unique rank or "rung" that represents their standing among other
members. The highest-ranked member holds the #1 Ladder position; for
example, someone ranked #2 is ranked
below the #1 member. The goal
is to "climb" the Ladder all the way to the top!
-
When you first join, you are placed in an "Unranked" category on
the League.
-
You become "Ranked" after winning your first League match.
(Unranked members may play each other, and the winner becomes
ranked at the bottom of the League.)
-
When you defeat a higher-ranked member, you move up in rank
50% the distance between their rank and
your own.
-
Example: If you are ranked #50 and you beat the #1
ranked member, then your new rank would be
25.
-
Your rank on the League does not go down if you lose a match
unless your opponent is ranked DIRECTLY below you.
-
Example: If you are ranked #5 and the #6 ranked member
defeats you, then your new rank would be #6.
-
When members ranked below you are victorious against members
ranked above you, it's possible the member will jump over you in
rank and you will move down one rung. This depends on the ranks
involved.
-
Example(per 50% rank gain): You are currently ranked #7.
If the #10 ranked member defeats the #1 ranked member,
then #10 will advance to the #5 rung and you will fall
to the #8 rung.

Multiple accounts from the same location will be
investigated and possibly removed.
Challenges
Note: Please consult the Admin staff regarding whether or not League
challenges are permitted for this League.
A challenge is defined as a request for a match with a higher-ranked
member. Whether you are the challenger or the one being challenged,
there are some rules that must be followed. Violating these rules may
result in penalties. If you notice anyone violating these rules,
please contact the Admin staff.
-
Chat
-
The best way to find League matches is to announce in
chat that you are looking for a League match so that
other members will know you are interested in League-play.
You can also directly challenge a specific member in chat.
-
Formal Challenges
-
Most Leagues permit the use of Formal Challenges. A complete
overview of the Formal Challenge system can be found

-
Verify Information
-
We recommend you ensure a potential opponent is also a
member of the League before starting your match. You can
do this very easily by searching for your opponent using
the 'Search for Players' tool.
Playing a Match
Once you are ready to start playing a League match, there are some
guidelines governing game play that you should keep in mind.
-
Opponents
-
You are not allowed to report losses to another member
that also plays from the same computer as you. Our
security software will detect this activity if it is
attempted, and participating accounts may be penalized
or removed.
-
Sportsmanship
-
The same rules that apply to behavior in chat (covered
in a later section) also apply during matches.
Reporting the Match
Once your match is completed, the loser of the match is responsible for
reporting the loss immediately. You can report your matches using the
'Report Loss' button located on the 'Standings' tab. Please note the
'Report Loss' link should only be used for League matches and not for
tournament matches; you should consult the TD with any questions regarding
reporting tournament matches. If you have any problems reporting a loss,
you should contact the Admin staff and request assistance.
-
Reporting the Loss
-
In one-on-one matches, the loser of the match reports
the loss to the winner.
-
In partner matches, each member of the losing team
reports a loss to both partners of the winning team.
At the end of the match, you would either gain two wins
or report two losses.
-
In "free for all" matches (matches in which multiple
opponents are competing against each other without
partners), each loser of the match must report a loss
to one overall winner.
-
When playing matches with more than one opponent, it is
important for losses to be reported in the proper order
if rank will be affected by the order of report. You
must report to the better-ranked opponent first in those
cases. It is your responsibility to make sure you report
in the correct order when necessary. Not doing so may
result in penalty.
-
Unreported Matches
-
If your opponent does not report their loss within one
hour after completing the match or prior to starting
another match, you should click on the "Contact Admin"
link and then use the "Unreported Match" form.
Tournaments
The rules for a Tournament are determined by the Tournament Director
hosting the event. You will find a summary of each individual
Tournament, including a Rules page, if you follow the link for that
specific Tournament.
League-Specific Rules
Harley Hustlers Tournament Rules:IMPORTANT
RULE CHANGE:
Previously the rule on hanging 8 balls was both players had to
double bank 8 in whatever pocket it was hung in. We are revising that rule to
conform more with the actual situation the Game calls for.There will be a few
examples below to hopefully make understanding this easier.
1. If your playing Last Pocket and player 1 gets to 8 ball first
and calls Bottom Left as his LP and makes an attempt at that pocket and 8 settles
in pocket but does not fall, Now your shot and you have balls left before 8 but
you get to 8 ball, Only YOU will have to double bank 8 into that pocket, your
opponent may shoot it straight in.
2. If the 8 ball is stuck in a pocket that is niether yours or your
opponents pocket in any Game that requires a certain pocket, then both will double
bank into the pocket it is stuck in.
3. We do not think the player that attempted a shot into his or
hers last pocket should be penalized for a good attempt, so in fairness to the
opponent, they will double bank into the pocket the 8 is stuck in and the other
player can shoot it as called for in the specific game you are playing.

Although we have tried to be as detailed as possible, we can't cover
every aspect of gaming in our rules. Please be advised that just
because something is not stated in our rules and policies, then that
does not mean it is allowed. Use common sense. If it is something that
will adversely affect other members and you might think twice about it,
then it's probably against the rules. The Admin staff will have the
final say in such matters. If you have a specific question please feel
