After Biscuits post about a roper only league I've been thinking maybe we don't need a league but instead a Ladder. This would be very similar to case's ladder.
Now before I write how it would work know that this could be used for any scheme, not just roper. Also it would need some fine tuning, these are just my ideas for now.
The way the ladder would work is you would be able to play any player say 2-3 times a day(not 100% sure on how many per day yet) and as many different players as you'd like.
To move up the ladder you have to beat someone above you. if you beat someone 6 ranks above you, you move up 3 ranks and they move down 1 rank.
And not sure about this part but maybe if you beat 3-5 different people below you in one day, you rank up 1 as well
Now to stop people getting to the top and never playing again. there will be an activity requirement. Need to play a game every 3-7 days or you loose 1-2 spots(again amount of days and spots lost needs to be properly decided). Hopefully this stops people avoiding as well because if they keep avoiding people under them they will eventually run out of people to play and move down.
There will be a Hall Of Fame setup one month after the ladder has started so it is more realistic
1st - Days at top of the Ladder
2nd - Days at top of the Ladder
3rd - Days at top of the Ladder
New player start as unranked, win or lose first game and then they start at bottom of the ladder. Every game after that will decide ranks.
Please let me know your thoughts.
