Top Five Ranks

Number 1 player must play number 2 as often as possible but MUST play him/her at least once every 3 days to defend the number 1 spot.

If #2 loses to #1 in a Title Match, they must play #3 before requesting a rematch with #1. If #3 loses a match to #1 or #2, #3 must play #4 before playing #1 or #2 again. If #4 loses to #1, #2 or #3, #4 must play a match with #5 before playing an “up”. In other words, Once number 1 has beaten number 2 they then need to play number 3 before he/she plays anyone that can bump number 3. He/She then proceeds to play down the line 4 before bumping 4, 5 before bumping 5 etc.

Anytime that there is a new #2 on the ladder , #1 cannot report a loss to #3, #4 or #5 until a title match has been played. In the event that #1 loses their title to #2 , the new #2 (ie the old #1) must play #3 before being allowed to have a title re-match and cannot report a loss to #4 ,#5 or #6 until the #2 v #3 match is completed.
