CHALLENGE GUIDE
The Purpose...
In order to make sure that everyone has a fair stab at getting to
the top of the Ladder we have introduced the Formal Challenge system. This
allows you to specifically challenge another user for a match through our Web
page. If you are having trouble finding a user in chat, that you need to play,
this is for you.
Formal Challenge Rules...
There are some special rules surrounding formal challenges. It is
pretty straight-forward and the rules may differ from ladder to ladder based on
the number of participants on that ladder.
You have to be within a rank range to utilize the formal
challenge system (Generally 20 or better on ladders.
You may have only one formal challenge
involving you at any time:
You may issue one formal challenge at a time, or
One formal challenge may be issued against you at any time.
You are restricted from challenging the same user twice in a row for 3 days
(This prevents friends from locking up their challenge slots).
You have a pre-determined number of days during which to play
challenges.
Failure to complete a formal challenge will result in BOTH players receiving a
failure in their records. Accumulation of three failures will result in
penalties (This discourages BOTH users from avoiding a challenge). A permanent
note is also made on the user records.
Formal challenges are recorded automatically when you report ladder results.
There is no special reporting procedure. They will show up in the daily results
as a formal challenge.
A challenge is cleared immediately following a match report. This means that as
soon as you play a challenge another challenge can be filed against you.
Players in the top twenty are eligible to challenge any member of the top ten
ranked better than they are.
You cannot challenge someone ranked under you.
Challenges...
To make a challenge complete the form on the FORMAL CHALLENGE
link. This will record your formal challenge or inform you why you cannot make
the challenge.
The challenged player will be sent an E-mail letting them know about the
challenge issued against them. Bounced E-mail will be considered a forfeit.
Challenged players should contact the player challenging them via E-mail or in
chat to arrange a match time asap.
Players who have made the challenge should contact the challenged via E-mail if
they have not heard anything within a day or so of issuing the challenge, or
find the user in chat.
Challenges are played as normal Ladder matches using regular Ladder rules. All
challenges are to be regular rated games. The 2 people that a lose the match
will report the loss.
Formal challenges take priority over all other matches. If someone has a formal
challenge against you and they are available to play, you must play them next.
Thank you for joining Happyhour!
All of the staff here at Happyhour wish you happy spading!!
