Rules
Greater Houston DBA Ladder
- A player ranked in the top 20 positions may challenge
a player up to 5 positions higher on the ladder. A player ranked below
the top 20 positions may challenge a player up to 10 positions higher. A
player not ranked on the ladder may challenge in at any position. If an unranked
player loses a challenge match, he or she will be ranked initially at the
bottom of the ladder.
- Except as noted below, the player receiving a challenge
is obliged to accept the challenge immediately and to make himself or herself
available to play the challenge match within 2 weeks of being challenged.
Should a challenged player fail to make himself or herself available in
this time, the challenging player may appeal to the Ladder Coordinator to
receive the match win by default. Should a challenged player decline a challenge,
he or she may be removed from the ladder at the discretion of the Ladder
Coordinator, and the position of the challenging player will not change;
or the Ladder Coordinator can remove the challenged player from his or her
position and give that position to the challenging player, and the challenged
player is placed at the bottom of the ladder.
- The winner of a challenge match is not obliged to accept
a challenge from the loser of the match for a period of 1 month after
the match has been played.
- Match results are applied to ladder positions in the
chronological order in which the matches are played.
- When a lower ranked player wins a challenge match, the
lower ranked player assumes the higher ranked player's ladder position
and all intermediate players are moved down one position.
- Players for whom no match result, whether as winner or
loser, has been reported to the Ladder Coordinator within the last six
months will be removed from the ladder. Once removed, the player may challenge
back into the ladder at any position at any time.
- Matches are best of three games.
- All Games will use DBA VERSION 2.2.
- The location of all Games will be Little Wars by default,
however, the higher ranked Player may choose a suitable alternative location
as long as it is either within 5 miles of Little Wars, or within 5 miles
of the residence of the challenging player, and provides access to the
challenging player.
- The winning player shall report Game results (including
players names, date played, and games won by each player) to the Ladder
Coordinator by e-mail at alexanderhay@post.harvard.edu,
or in writing and personally delivered to Little Wars. Game results must
be reported to the Ladder Coordinator within 1 week to count towards position
on the ladder.
