Ben,

I agree that it is early. Now with that said, the reason most players who play often want the rule enforced is Case has failed to enforce the rule that requires you to play the rank directly below you every three days because the ladder is small and they don't feel this is reasonable. And by not having to play downs a handful of players are only popping in and out of room and looking for up matches only. One up % contuinue to to raise to above 80% after getting in top 10. This rule will force these players to be available to play and not avaoid the down matches as much.

PS Ben where ya been haven't see ya play in about 3 weeks.

: the sitch:

: Current rule reads:

: Players in the Top Ten must play at least once every 7 days. If they don't they are automatically dropped five rungs and their inactivity counter is reset. There are no exceptions to this rule.

: Proposed Change:

: Players in the Top Ten must play at least once every 3 days. If they don't they are automatically dropped five rungs and their inactivity counter is reset. There are no exceptions to this rule.

:
: there aint that many people playin as it is, so in my opinion its too early to impose rules better suited for larger ladders as backg was when at the zone. good idea BUT NOT YET
