Description of a Ladder competition
In a ladder competition, players are listed as if on the rungs of a ladder. The objective for a player is to reach the highest rung of the ladder they can.
The competition proceeds via a system of challenges. Any player can challenge a player above them on the ladder. These challenges generally should not or can not be declined. If the lower-placed player wins the match, then the two players swap places on the ladder. If the lower-placed player loses, then they may not challenge the same person again without challenging someone else first. There is a limit as to how many rungs above themselves players may challenge.
How ladder positions are updated
How ladder positions are updated
For example, the following games are recorded on the same day
#6 challenges #2, #6 wins
#10 challenges #6, #10 wins
When the ladder is updated at the end of the day, the following will occur
1) #6 swaps with #2 (so #2 is now #6)
2) #10 swaps with #6 (#6 at this moment is whoever was #2 at the start)
3) So although #2 lost only 1 challenge, they have gone from #2 to #10 based on other challenge results
