How does the ladder system work? I mean we all have a good idea who top ten are around here its the placing more so. Im liking the sound of this ladder.

if you've played SC, Diablo, any FPS w/e. It's basically a leaderboards for lack of better terms. Ladder simply means climbing to the top lol... or Ranbat (Ranking Battle). basically they're all the same words and same concept, to create a list of who's top tier in their group.

You simply base it on wins/losses and rating values for each person/team weather if you do it by MM and/or tourney placings. or you can base it on point allocation from tournies that happened over the course of the season.

lets make an example. Lets say we're gonna have a season from January to May and we're only gonna base it on SFL tournies (like Melee Monthlies for example, 5 tournies), if you wanna do it for all FL players then that's fine. We'll use a point system based on placings and allocate points to like top 8 players for that tourney.

Point breakdown (granted you can do whatever you want)
1. 6
2. 5
3. 4
4. 3
5. 2
5. 2
7. 1
7. 1

Tourney 1
1. Emilio
2. Michelangelo
3. Raphael
4. Eric
5. Derek
5. Dale
7. Warren
7. Kevin

Tourney 2
Eric
1. Emilio
2. Cameron
3. Justin
4. Derek
5. Dale
5. Dwayne
7.Elliot
7.Andrew

Tourney 3 & etc.
blah blah blah

with the placings and players there, you start working some Excel magic and make a spreadsheet of all the players and placings and you create your ranking system. then you start allocating points for money matches/ranked matches to improve their ranking (granted you guys need to regulate that every tourney). and at the end of the season, you have your finalized rankings for all players and trash talk away. basically you're making the tournies you guys run be the basis of the rankings instead of a panel to decide

I like this ladder idea, lets start implementing it
keep in mind this is common in other communities (the Ranbats and ladders) and smash doesn't bother to use it much since they all rely on the PR (power ranking) system. it's best to do this in small regions (SFL, CFL, etc.) than a statewide thing as it will cause confusion and bias between players in other regions.

if you want another example, just look at the Japanese SFIV arcade rankings, normally you'd think Daigo being the top of the top in BP (battle points) but then you have players like Mago and Iyo taking the top since Daigo may not have touched the arcades in awhile
