Ladder League Rules Cometh! Start Date 10/18
« on: October 12, 2012, 09:59:40 AM »
Hellooooo everyone! I finally have the rules finalized for the Ladder League. We're going to start next week on the 18th.

Buy in will be $10 and all money goes back to prizes! Here are the rules:

Ladder League!

-Initial Ladder Rung dictated by entry. After that you move up/down by challenges
-You can only challenge someone 2 above you at 8 entrants, 3 above at 10, 4 above at 12 and beyond.
-Winner takes loser's rung. Everyone is pushed down one rung.
-Scenarios will be used for all games. They'll be randomly chosen from Steamroller 2012
-Game for top rung: 2 lists, challenger decides points.
-Allowable formats: Mangled Metal/Tooth and Claw, Standard, Standard w/Reinforcements
-Challenger chooses the format.
-Champion chooses the point size.
-8 Week Length
-If you don't log a game for 2 weeks, you fall down a rung.
-A player should accept a minimum of 2 challenges per week. It should be a first come, first served basis. A player can accept more challenges per week if they want to.

Achievemnts to earn battlepoints:
-The bigger they are...
--Wreck a Colossal/Gargantuan (1 BP)
-1 Punch! I Punch!
--1 shot a caster (1 BP)
-Looks like I'll have to do this myself...
--Your Warcaster/lock kills opponent's warcaster/lock (1 BP)
-I sense a theme here
--Use a tier list of at least Tier 2 (1 BP)
-Look at all the pretty colors
--Play with a fully painted army (1 BP)
-Around the World
--Use all your faction's casters/locks (2 BP)
-We're gonna need a bigger boat
--Play an Unbound game (1 BP)

Game Sizes allowed
25 (If Reinforcements are allowed, there are 5 points for Reinforcements)
35 (If Reinforcements are allowed, there are 7 points for Reinforcements)
50 (If Reinforcements are allowed, there are 10 points for Reinforcements)

Prizes will be awarded for the following:
Top of the Ladder
2nd Rung of the ladder (with enough players)
Most BPs
*A player can only win one prize.

I'm very excited. I almost have things that had a "four legged accident" Thursday night fixed. So I will be ready for this... with bells on.
For those of us new to warmachine is there a good place to get info regarding the formats, and the Steamroller 2012 rules?

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, would people want to play on Wendsday or Friday?
