That does nothing to solve the problem, but I am not the least bit surprised.
: : Ladder member fun_gal_67,
: It is impossible to definitively provide "WHY", although I can provide SOLUTIONS to HOW!
: First and foremost, there is the rule of Rank Defense:
: "Members in the Top Ten must play the person ranked directly below them at least once every three days. A rank-defense match takes priority over other challenges, and any member that would be involved in a rank-defense match may initiate the challenge. For example, a match between rank #2 and rank #3 is considered a rank-defense match, and either member ranked in those positions can challenge the other to play the match. If member, the better-ranked player or the worse-ranked player is found to be avoiding a rank-defense match, their account may be penalized.”
: Also, (a reminder to old and new members) the Rules page cover information on “Match Priorities", and "Challenges", as well as a Q&A section. If the support team can be of help to you please use the "Support" link found on the left hand side of the page.
: GOOD LUCK AT THE TABLES
