Welcome to the very first Weekly Ladder Update! This week we used the final rankings from the Summer Season ladder to analyze player movement. So far nearly 1,000 people have signed up for the Fall Ladder and have played almost 3,000 sets-roughly double the pace of last season. Players who make it into the top 32 will have their name shown here on the front page of AllisBrawl, so congratulations to the first batch of players to make it in!

The announcement of over $350 in prizes for the Fall Ladder, along with other privileges and badges for the top finishers, has heavily increased the competition for those top spots. The strongest players from last season will have to work hard to maintain their position among a solid set of new and returning players. Good luck to all the participants of the Fall Ladder and congratulations to all the players who finished in the top 32!
