Warrior General Games

How do they come about- are they auto scheduled or does a team owner have to initiate ?

They are auto scheduled. The first one is on Wednesday and will be scheduled at rollover tonight.

From here on out the schedule will go

Off day, ladder game, league game, off day, ladder game, league game....

Thanks very much bhall43 for the info.

Interesting new code -

My game is 97 vs 111 - so no longer guaranteed within 10? (seasoned)

Looking at other seasoned teams:

Victorious Secret 99 vs Richmond Redskins 79

D'Haran 104 vs Dryden 118

Within 20 now.

So would someone mind explaining these ladder games to me?

Think about NCAA football for a minute. At the end of the regular season, there's always a big argument about "is a two loss SEC team better than a one loss PAC-10 team?" or whatever. The ladder was designed to solve that - every other game, you play against a team that is considered to be "similar" to yours, but isn't in the same league as you. You win, you move up the ladder - lose, you go down. At the end of the season, your team's ranking should then be a solid indicator of how you are. The best team will get the #1 ranking, second best #2, and so on.

I assumed it was something like that, but hadn't actually heard anything about them. Thanks potts

Never was guaranteed to be within top 10. The code has always "preferred" teams within 10 ranks, but there have always been instances where this hasn't been the case.

This has always been especially true where ELO ties come in.

I'm pretty sure that there were early examples of something like 100 ranks difference playing.
