Compete in the Railroad Corporation League!

Are you of the competitive type, really good at the game or dying to try out multiplayer? Participate in the Railroad Corporation League!

Information

The Railroad Corporation League (Ladder) is a form of competition where each player is assigned a position (rank). A lower number means a higher rank on the ladder (better position).

The goal of the competition is to move up the Ladder, ultimately to the #1 position (highest rank). Players move up the Ladder (i.e. improve their rank) by winning Ladder games. Players move down the Ladder (i.e. lose their rank) when they lose Ladder games, and when other players move up the Ladder ahead of them.

Rules

After each Ladder game has ended, both players are assigned new positions on the Ladder, depending on their current positions, and the result of the game:

1. If the winning player has a lower rank than the losing player, they are moved up half the distance between their position and the losing player's position. The losing player is moved one position down. (For example, if the winning player was 10th and the losing player was 4th on the ladder, their new positions will be 7th ((10+4)/2) and 5th (4+1) after the game)

2. If the winning player is directly below the losing player, their positions are swapped. (i.e. the winning player is moved one position up, and the losing player — one position down)

3. If the winning player has the higher position, they are moved one position up and the losing player is moved one position down.

4. Challenges can only be issued by below player (10 row above is the max. limit)
