After the incredible interest shown in the SFA3 ladder, and my partnership with Anti3D (moosehead), we have decided to start ladder leagues for most frequently played games (according to the Anti3D logs).

I decided to add KOF2002, MvC1, and ST along side SFA3. :tup:

***Here’s a couple of Q&A’s… Expect more as this develops =)

What the heck is a ladder? **

A ladder is an ongoing method of ranking players who are competing in a game. It is called a ladder because it operates on the principle of rank or rungs. Your ranking/rung on the ladder indicates how good you are as compared to the other players. When you sign up you start at the bottom of the ladder. Your goal is to climb the ladder to the #1 spot.

Up, up and away!

When you beat someone you move up half the distance between their rank and yours. So if you were at the #100 rank and beat the #1 player, you move to #50. All players ranked 50-99 slide down one rung to make room for you.

Down we go.

What happens if you lose? Your rank remains the same. You lose rungs on the Ladder when other players jump ahead of you, forcing you down. The only exception comes when you lose to the person directly beneath you. In this case you switch spots.

How will this work?

Challenge a player that is part of the league to a set (2\3, or 3\5) after agreeing on a server. After the set is over the loser will report the outcome to the MyLeague KOF2002 website (http://www.myleague.com/kof2002/). The winner will rise in rank and the loser will stay the same or move down.

You are allowed to have 3 (might change to 5) sets with the same user (to prevent abuse of the ranking system).

NOW, this KOF2002 league is invite only (to keep the trolls away but I might change my mind if it becomes a hassle)

If you are interested in participating and joining, Post your Kaillera username and your email addy and i’ll send an invitation ASAP!

The only rules I will enforce are ABSOLUTELY NO USE OF AUTOFIRE and NO MACRO’S! If you are reported using autofire\macro’s then you will be banned from the league

Remember… THIS IS FOR USE ONLY WITH MAME32k .64, NO KAWAKS!

Use this thread to schedule matches, discuss KOF2002, or just to chat =]

Edit: By the way, since both players are required to report, what happens if one of them is lying, or just doesn’t want to report, or whatever else (hopefully such sore losers won’t sign up for this).

Actually the loser reports and thats why its invite only. Its a moderated ladder, if such a thing happens then that person would be banned

So…WHO WANTS SOME?!?

Invitations sent, Check your mails.

Also, I have decided to make this ladder Public until further notice.
If you’d like to sign up simply click this link and follow the steps (Real easy registration)

Give the link around, try to get as many people in on this, Its the only way it will work.

mm its about 2:08pm eastcoast anyone up for some rounds?

I just lost 1-3 to domino (I will revenge against him later…)

How do I input that into the ladder?

There seems to be a problem with this ladder system. The way ax0r has stated it in his post, the rank 1 player will never go down in rank unless he lost to the rank 2 player. Sounds very exploitable.

Edit: Muhahaha, 3-0

yea it does seem a little odd. Dont worry though, ill beat youre rank… Maybe :xeye: .

About that…the rules ax0r posted aren’t the actual rules on that site…it seems the ranking is done a bit differently (using skillpoints, which are calculated through some weird formulas).

Come on HellSap, fight me…

i see this going up in flames in the not to far future

Come on, where are all of the kof2k2 players? There’s only like 10-15 guys registered for this so far…and only 3 on the ladder itself.
