Ladder Entry:

All new teams to enter the VG ladder must post acceptance of the below rules along with a roster designating the players and leaders. After that is done, the VG can officially enter the ladder in one of two ways:

1) A team can first challenge and fight an existing team on the ladder to determine their initial ranking. If you win the match, you assume the second to last spot on the Ladder, jumping ahead of the last ranked team. If you lose the match, you assume the newly created last rung on the Ladder.

or

2) Two teams entering the Ladder at the same time may choose to fight each other, rather than a currently ranked team. This will create two new rungs on the bottom of the current Ladder, with the winner earning the next to last rung and the loser earning the newly formed last rung. In this instance, the outcome of this match will not affect any teams already on the ladder; the outcome of this match would only decide the order in which the two participating teams are placed at the bottom of the Ladder.

Waiver:

NOTE: “Eligible for Waiver” is noted on rules that the participating VG’s may choose to ignore prior to the match or up to 48 hours after the match. The spirit of a Waiver is to overlook simple mistakes and misunderstandings that do not affect the outcome of official matches. This will also serve to prevent vengeful enforcement of the rules from non-participating players. VG leaders will represent their team in their decision. If the rule-breaking team (forfeiting team) and the winning team do not agree on a Waiver, than the existing rule stands. If leaders from the same VG disagree, the rule stands. No teams are ever obligated or expected to agree to a Waiver.

Team Regulations:

Supergroup leaders must post an initial roster of players that they plan to have participating in matches and must designate themselves along with the other leaders with the title “leader” after the global. The initial roster must be posted at the time of signup and acceptance to these rules, it is part of your admission into the ladder. After the initial roster is posted, it can be added to or subtracted from at any time by making follow-up posts on that thread.

A group’s roster is based on test server global names, do not use live globals. If someone changes their global you must update accordingly with a post. A global name may only belong to one Hero group and one Villain group within the ladders.

A new player must wait one week before becoming eligbible to play in an official match per timestamp on the roster update post. A player changing VGs must wait two weeks to become eligible to play in an official match per timestamp on the post. If a player is not on the roster, they are not eligible to play with that group.

Match Regulations:

All challenges are to be made in this thread.

All challenges within two rungs must be accepted and the matches completed within 2 weeks from the time the challenge was issued (assuming test server is available). If a group is unable to participate in a match within this time frame, it is automatically a win for the challenging group. Eligible for waiver.

The winner of an official challenge will be the first team to win two matches

Matches are to be set to SHW and no special options selected.

All matches will be 8v8. They may be larger if agreed upon by both groups prior to the match. And any group may play up to two men down meaning that there could be instances of 7v8, 6v8, 7v6, 7v7, 6v6.

Official matches will all be 10 minutes unless agreed upon by both groups in advance, in which case it can be 20 minutes. All matches will be timed at either 10 minutes or 20 minutes.

The only inspirations allowed are tier one inspirations. If you can purchase an item from the arena store, then it is allowed in official matches. If you are required to buy or obtain an item elsewhere, then it is not allowed in an official match (i.e. base buffs, IoPs, SoWs).

Vengeance stacking is not allowed as it is a known exploit. Until this exploit is resolved, Vengeance will not be allowed in any match. Use of Vengeance is an automatic forfeit for that match.

The first round of an official match must begin within 15 minutes of the designated start time. If the match is not started within this time frame, it is an automatic forfeit of that match by the team that is not prepared. If another 15 minutes pass and the delaying team is still not ready, the prepared team takes the win. Eligible for waiver

Between every match there is up to a 15 minute down time, but the 2nd/3rd match must start within 15 minutes of the previous match. Eligible for waiver.

For all official matches, groups are to report to Port Oakes Ruby if requested.

Groups may request to view their oppositions Supergroup Base and to do an inspiration swap. If a group is caught using anything but tier one inspirations then they automatically forfeit. Evidence must be provided.

Groups may request a reset only one time due to slow loading for each round of play. A team has 30 seconds to report ‘all in’ and if both teams are missing people then the match is restarted with no penalty to either team. Eligible for waiver.

Both teams MUST say ‘all in’ once all their teammates are present. If a group engages before this is announced then the team at fault automatically restarts or forfeits that round at the discretion of the offended VG.

In the event of a disconnect, a team has 90 seconds of a 10 minute match or 3 minutes of a 20 minute match to report such and request a restart. The opposing team must oblige if it is within this time frame. If a disconnect takes place after this time frame, then the match is to continue and it is scored as an official match.

There is an automatic reset if any of the following maps are drawn: Office Map, Monkey Cage, and Cave Map. Teams may also agree before the match to reset on other maps, but they are under no obligation to do so.

All results of matches should be posted in the ladder challenge thread following the match and within 24 hours.

In case a match is contested, a screenshot of the final score is required. It is for this reason that VG Captains are encouraged to take screen shots of the final scores of each match.

Ladder Movement and Regulation:

A team who wins in an official challenge against a group above them on the ladder moves up one rung of the ladder regardless of the placement of the group challenged.

A group will only move down the ladder one rung and only in instances where the group directly below them is the group who is replacing them.

A group can challenge as high above them on the ladder as they so desire. If a challenge is made outside of two rungs, the challenge may be declined by the higher ranked team.

“Bar code” teams are not to be permitted. (A bar code team is where a team has almost the exact same name as to make spiking nigh impossible. This issue has arose from the new ability to change ones name.) Deceptively similar names (ie. Bill and BiII) are also not permitted. Additionally, from the time a player joins an arena event to the completion of that match, they are not permitted to change their names. Eligible for Waiver.

If a group is inactive for more than two months they are to be removed from the ladder.


Rules may be revisited and added or modified at a later date as participating groups see fit. In order for this to occur, a meeting must be called giving all participating groups a chance to express their views and vote.


Purpose of this thread:

Make all official challenges here in this thread.

For any rosters updates use the links at the top and change them on your own thread.

Any group who wishes to join shall signify their intent here by accepting the rules and then creating a thread with their group’s roster. (It is also requested that each individual group list what times are best for them for official matches in their roster thread.)

To find where people will begin on the PvP Ladder we will be starting a round robin, this is where every group who has signed up will face one another. Initial ranking will be based first on win to loss ratio. Ties will be decided by who has beat whom. In an instance where that does not rectify the problem it will be based on margin of victory, and then on over all victories if mov still does not satisfy the problem. This is only for the initial ranking. We will begin this process on Sunday the 29th of July at 9 PM EST. It is requested that all groups who have signed up for the ladder be there. We will go until midnight. It is expected that SG Captains will set up their own matches. For initial ranking it is only 1 match, not 2 out of 3 so we can save time and get this ladder up as soon as possible. We will then meet up again on Wednesday August 1st at 9 PM EST going til midnight once again. It is expected that SG Captains will simply ask for matches over arena chat. Make sure you face every SG in the ladder on these two nights. If you do not face a group it will be counted as a loss for both groups. Also, all matches are to be reported to me. Please send the results of every match you have to me on the blue boards with score and who won. Both SG Captains must report these results to me so I can check for consistency. Any group who purposefully reports inaccurate results will be automatically placed at the bottom of the ladder.

The Groups who have signed up thus far with a roster are as follows:

JAL
Dark Revolution
Hell Raisers
Freaks
Criminal Empire
Kamikaze Typhoon

As stated above, you have two nights for a total of 6 hours to face each one of these groups one time, make sure you do so.

We have come up with a prize for whomever is at the top of the ladder on the first of every month. Ex has agreed to give out forum titles on the first of every month to the SG who has the top spot on the ladder at the first of every month. The title must be the same for everyone. The captain of the SG will present up to 3 titles they wish to have and Ex will pick the most appropriate one.

I have been contacted regarding some rules people wish to have added, I need every SG captain to respond here and give a yes or no to the rules. Please do not debate here on why, make another thread for that.

Amendment 1: If a group is inactive for more than two months they are to be removed from the ladder.

Amendment 2: Bar code teams are not to be permitted. (A bar code team is where a team has almost the exact same name as to make spiking nigh impossible. This issue has arose from the new ability to change ones name.)

Please respond as such:

Amendment 1: Yes/No

Amendment 2: Yes/No


If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at TGIA_ here on the blue boards.


*Edit was to show Sunday is the 29th.
