GoDiscussionsCom Ladder

If you are a GoDiscussionsCom member, add your login and approximate rank to the bottom of the ladder. You can challenge up to 3 spots ahead in the ladder to an even game, and if you win, you move up the ladder. Fun, and a good way to get some games in with people you (sort of) know.

The GD thread can be found here: [ext] http://www.godiscussions.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8288

The GD ladder administration tool can be found here: [ext] http://gdladder.topazg.com/index.asp . That's the primary site for the GD ladder. This page on SL is a secondary page in case the GD admin tool is offline.

These changes have been implemented since november 14 2009:

  • Challenges can now be canceled by the challenger instead of requiring playing.
  • Timezones of players are now visible and settable.
  • If a challenge hasn't had a result submitted within 7 days, the win on timeout can be played by the challenger.
  • If a timeout claim hasn't been claimed within a further 3 days (a total of 10 days from the initial challenge), the win is automatically claimed.
  • If a user's activity flag does not get reset for 14 days, and they are not in the top three positions in the ladder, they automatically demote one position. If they are in the danger zone [bottom X players, where X = ({total+players}\5)-2] they are excluded from the ladder.
  • A player can now retire from the ladder.
  • If a user who has been excluded from the ladder or retired from the ladder logs back in, they get entered back at the bottom of the ladder.

The following actions reset activity flag:

  • Sending an outgoing challenge
  • Gaining a ladder position
  • Being involved in a game submitted as a non forfeit result
  • Having an activity flag related rank drop

GD Ladder (KGS)

Play games with standard KGS settings, or anything on which both players agree. Games should always be even. The defender takes white. You may challenge anyone no more than three spots ahead of you through PM on GoDiscussions.com, and they have one week to arrange a time to play or lose by forfeit.

Generally speaking, games should be at a mutually convenient time, but the defender gets the final say. Use the timezone information here to find people that are likely to be able to be online at the same time as you. You must wait 10 days before re-matching someone.

The winner of a match should update the list on the [ext] GD ladder admin tool. The winner just jumps right above the loser. You can voluntarily drop down ranks whenever you want.

In case the ladder admin tool is offline, the following table shows the rankings. It can (and should) be generated by the admin tool regularly.

Dragon Go Server Ladder

19x19, Japanese Rules, 6.5 komi (always even games), with default time limits (90 days plus 1/10 byoyomi). Challenge the person directly above you through PM on GoDiscussions.com or a direct DGS game invitation. They have one week to begin the game or they lose by forfeit. If the ladder ranking changes by the time your game ends, then if the winner is below the loser, simply switch places in the ladder. (If the winner is still above the loser, do nothing.)
