The Ranking System!
MyLeague has one of the simplest ranking systems ever used for competitive play. The concept was adopted from the ranking system used on the official Case’s Ladders. We call it a "Ladder" because each member holds a unique rank or "rung" that represents their standing among other members. The highest-ranked member holds the #1 Ladder position; for example, someone ranked #2 is ranked below the #1 member. The goal is to "climb" the Ladder all the way to the top!

When you first join, you are placed in an “Unranked” category on the League.
You become "Ranked" after winning your first League match. (Unranked members may play each other, and the winner becomes ranked at the bottom of the League.)
When you defeat a higher-ranked member, you move up in rank 50% the distance between their rank and your own.
- Example: If you are ranked #50 and you beat the #1 ranked member, then your new rank would be 25.
Your rank on the League does not go down if you lose a match unless your opponent is ranked DIRECTLY below you.
- Example: If you are ranked #5 and the #6 ranked member defeats you, then your new rank would be #6.

When members ranked below you are victorious against members ranked above you, it's possible the member will jump over you in rank and you will move down one rung. This depends on the ranks involved.
- Example(per 50% rank gain) :You are currently ranked #7. If the #10 ranked member defeats the #1 ranked member, then #10 will advance to the #5 rung and you will fall to the #8 rung.

Account Rules

League Names
- If your League name is deemed offensive or contains profanity, your account may be removed.
- If your League name is deemed abusive towards another member, your account may be removed.
- You can edit your League name by using the ‘My Account’ tab and choosing the ‘Edit Username’ option. If you have problems changing your League name, please use the ‘Contact Admin’ link, located on the 'Support' tab.
E-mail Address
- Your E-mail address must be kept current at all times, in case you need to be contacted. You can use the 'Edit E-mail Address' link on the 'My Account' tab to edit your E-mail address.
Password Security
- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.
- You are not permitted to share your password with anyone for any reason.
Inactivity
- In order to keep the League as dynamic as possible, your account will be automatically deleted if you are inactive for 255 days. However, one of the features of our Premium Membership Program is never being deleted for inactivity. Information regarding our Premium Membership Program can be found here .
Multiple Accounts
- Only one account is allowed per person. There are no exceptions to this rule.
- It is forbidden for more than one person to use or share the same account.
- Multiple accounts from the same location will be investigated and possibly removed.

Challenges

Chat
- The best way to find League matches is to announce in chat that you are looking for a League match so that other members will know you are interested in League-play. You can also directly challenge a specific member in chat.
Formal Challenges
- Most Leagues permit the use of Formal Challenges. A complete overview of the Formal Challenge system can be found here .
3 time(s) Per Day
- You may play the same member 3 time(s) per day. However, you may play as many different members as you would like on any given day. A “MyLeague” day begins at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
Verify Information
- We recommend you ensure a potential opponent is also a member of the League before starting your match. You can do this very easily by searching for your opponent using the 'Search for Players' tool.

Playing a Match

Opponents
- You are not allowed to report losses to another member that also plays from the same computer as you. Our security software will detect this activity if it is attempted, and participating accounts may be penalized or removed.
Sportsmanship
- The same rules that apply to behavior in chat (covered in a later section) also apply during matches.

Reporting the Match

Reporting the Loss
- In one-on-one matches, the loser of the match reports the loss to the winner.
- In partner matches, each member of the losing team reports a loss to both partners of the winning team. At the end of the match, you would either gain two wins or report two losses.
- In “free for all” matches (matches in which multiple opponents are competing against each other without partners), each loser of the match must report a loss to one overall winner.
- When playing matches with more than one opponent, it is important for losses to be reported in the proper order if rank will be affected by the order of report. You must report to the better-ranked opponent first in those cases. It is your responsibility to make sure you report in the correct order when necessary. Not doing so may result in penalty.
Unreported Matches
- If your opponent does not report their loss within one hour after completing the match or prior to starting another match, you should click on the “Contact Admin” link and then use the “Unreported Match” form.

AND YOU DO NOT DO SO, THERE WILL BE AN AUTOMATIC 5 DAYS IN THE BOX.

THE LADDER
The "Top Five" on the Ladder must compete in 2 scheduled
Tournaments daily or be dropped 10 rungs.
This is besides Ladder Matches.

The "Top Ten" everyone wants a shot at #1;
consequently there should be a lot of activity and
movement in the top ranks of the Ladder.
#1 should play #2 as often as possible.
Remember rank has priority when it comes to challenges.
Top Ten must play at least once every other day.
If they don't they are automatically dropped five rungs
and their inactivity counter is reset.
There are no exceptions to this rule.

"Ladder Manipulation" we can easily see that if the top
ranks are only playing Lower ranked Members, and we will derank
those involved.. If they are only playing certain players..
that is ladder manipulation, they KNOW what they are doing!
Penalty of with this type of activity, deranked 50 rungs.

SPORTSMANSHIP You should at least say GL=good luck at the start of the game
and GG=good game respectively whether you win or lose.
This is only polite, and shows good sportsmanship.
Ladder matches can be played in Deep Purple or live.
Please report matches in a timely manner. If the link doesn't allow you to report the match,
please send Jenn or Dreams an email with Ladder Match in the subject line.

We here in Dreamers realize there are many different leagues out there in pogoland.
We ask that if you play or host in another league, you don't addy your league here in our lobby
or at the game tables
We also expect the same of our members and hosts when they go into other league rooms as well.

All Games Have Different Rules. You Will Get Them According To The Game.

We have done our best to cover everything that is vital in the league rules,
but it is impossible for us to cover everything..
Please use good common sense and understand that just because something is not listed
doesn't mean that it is allowed or not allowed. If you need help on something please ask an Admin
especially when it is something that will adversely effect other players.

We stick behind our Team in most instances and our Team has the final word.
If you have any problems go STRAIGHT to an ADMIN please do not BS with everyone in league about the issue...
FINALLY, THESE ARE THE RULES.. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM PLEASE REMEMBER EXITS ARE EASY TO FIND!! Thank you for joining us, and thank you for taking the time to read the rules…
it could stop a potential problem before it starts.

Top Ten
The purpose of the League is to climb to the top and the competition for the rungs in the Top Ten is high. As such, we have special rules that apply for members in the Top Ten.

Inactivity

Members in the Top Ten must play a League match at least once every 2 days; otherwise, you will be automatically dropped five rungs and your inactivity counter is reset. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Expected Behavior
As a member of MyLeague, you are representing the League, the Admin staff, and all other members when you are participating on a MyLeague. It’s part of your responsibility as a member to act in a respectable manner within your League community.

Cheating

If you believe your opponent is cheating, then you should contact the Admin staff.

Abuse

It is forbidden to abuse or harass another League member.

It is important to remember that two wrongs do not make a right. If you are being harassed by another League member, contact the Admin staff for assistance. Do not take matters into your own hands or return the abuse, or you could be penalized as well.

Nice Guy Rule

Please note that behavior guidelines govern all methods of communication. This includes chat, E-mail, message forums, instant messenger services, etc. Treat other members with respect!

Fill in the Blank
Although we have tried to be as detailed as possible, we can’t cover every aspect of gaming in our rules. Please be advised that just because something is not stated in our rules and policies, then that does not mean it is allowed. Use common sense. If it is something that will adversely affect other members and you might think twice about it, then it’s probably against the rules. The Admin staff will have the final say in such matters. If you have a specific question please feel free to contact us via E-mail.
