  I agree with most of what coopnf says with the exception of ladder ops-I think they should not be in the top 10

    Hi Gin

    You said you thought Ops should not be in the top 10.

    I think looking at the size of the ladder their staying clear of the 1-2 would be better. Let them play up to rank 3. Restricting them out of top 10 they may as well not play at all and trust me that is not fun. Once the fun is gone an attitude of why bother may develop.

    Remember ops are volunteers they want to have fun playing the ladder as all the players do. I would rather have them enjoying the games than just watching from the sideline. After the ladder has more members lets re-look it and then vote to keep ops out of top 10.

      Hi

      I think that anyone who belongs to the ladder should be able to play. Why wouldn't an Op be allowed to play and be ranked in the ladder. They work hard should have the ability to enjoy it too.

      I am used to number 2 scheduling a match with number 1. If a match has been scheduled, then those two cannot be challenged if the results could change who is #1 or #2. If #1 is over 1/2 hour late, #1 forfeits the match. If #2 is 1/2 hour late, this rule no longer applies.
