What is Ladder
Community Ladders at Rubl.com are open to all players who wish to compete fairly and have fun.
We have a simple ranking system. Your ranking will represent your standing among other players.
The highest ranked player holds the #1 spot.
A player with #2 ranking is ranked one level below the #1 player.
The goal is to "climb" the Ladder as high as you can.
Note: Ladder ranking is NOT your rating -- it is a completely separate ranking system:
When you win against a higher ranked player, your rank goes up half the way between their rank and your former rank
If you lose to a player who is ranked more than one level below you, your rank will NOT change
If you lose to a player who is ranked directly below you, your ranks will switch places
If you lose to a player who is ranked above you, your rank will not go down at all
When other players beat people above you and jump over you in rank you will slide down
