RS Ladder

The RS Ladder is a proposed system that will be available for all multiplayer games and be essentially a more advanced version of Leagues of Interpersonal Competition.

Principles

• Activity is always rewarded.
• Winning is rewarded more than tying, which is rewarded more than losing.
• An all-time version should exist along with a shorter-duration version (proposed: one month).
• The system should be flexible enough to allow for special awards/certificates/competitions.

2v2 should be included with the ladder. But how?

Additions

Things that could be added after the initial system is working:

• Fictional writing-based competitions (similar to DB's ACC)
• D6 or D20 roleplaying competitions
• SWG
• Any console or computer game
• 3v3, 4v4, 1v1v1, or any other combination of participants
