Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for helping so far!
I've been able to sort out Image Uploads; so you can attach a picture when you input the results and you can now view the results of the game on the Results page
I thought I'd give a brief description of how the Ladder works:
You are able to challenge someone up to 3 places above you.
Currently, the ladder is focussed on just the Basic Game of Carcassonne (no expansions).
Both the Challenger and the Challengee receive emails containing each other's email addresses.
It is the Challengee's responsibility to nominate an appropriate time to defend their position; both players must agree a mutually good time to play.
Once a challenge is made both players have 8days to play the game.
If you are unable to play, or do not respond to the challenge emails the game is forfeited after 8 days.
Having played the game, results are logged on the Ladder.
If you have challenged and you lose the game you remain in the same position. If you win you move to the position of the person you challenge; while the loser moves down 1 place. A shuffle rather than a swap.
Once you have played, you are not able to challenge the same player for 5days; unless you have played against another player first. This prevents challenge abuse and 2 players blocking the ladder for others to attempt to move up/down.
The ladder is fairly freeform; meaning that active players typically move up the ladder; while inactive players move down. Generally you end up playing people of similar ability, but have the opportunity to challenge people above you.
If you join the ladder late you join at the bottom of the table; but your first challenge may to against anyone in the bottom 60% of the ladder.
Occasionally, I will reset and shuffle the ladder, so that players are jumbled up and the process of ordering begins again.
Currently MrNumbers is in 1st place, so we could do with some more people offering to help up, just so we keep him busy
