: : In response to suggestions by members of the ladder, we have put together 4 proposed additions or changes to the current GSRs. We would like your input prior to placing them in the voting booth.

: : 1. Top Twenty Rank Matches

: : Current - None

: : Proposed: - Top Twenty Rank Matches: Members of the Top Twenty are not allowed to play the same player consecutive MATCHES without playing another rank first. Example: If a member ranked #12 cannot play rank #8 without first playing another top twenty rank in between. Tournament matches will not be included as consecutive matches.

: : 2. Formal Challenges - Waiting Time:

: : Current - Formal Challenges - Waiting Time(added 8/28/02) Players are allowed to wait up to 15 minutes to play their Formal Challenge if both players are present in the room.

: : Proposed - Eliminate this rule in its entirety

: : 3. Non-vague Priority for Matches:

: : Current - none

: : Proposed: - The priority of accepting matches for the Top Twenty of the ladder are as follows: Title Match, Formal Challenges, Rank Challenges. There will be no exceptions to this rule.

: : 4. Once Per Day

: : Current - Once Per Day: Once Per Day: You can only play the same person once a day. You can play as many different people as you'd like on any given day.

: : Proposed – Twice Per Day: You can play the same person twice per day. You can play as many different people as you'd like on any given day.

1. It is not my goal to ever be top 20, rules are confusing and interfere with my fun.
2. See #1
3. This rule makes sense.
4. There are so few players in pip when I go there that I do not have the patience to wait. Playing ladder games improves skill, because we all want good stats. Maybe people would stay in the room longer if they could play twice. Whatever... wp is dying and it has been a long and painful death to watch. Ah well, as long as there is life there is hope.
