H2H Ladder ( again ?)
« on: September 25, 2011, 10:54:36 AM »
Hello
I was digging the forum to find more info about dueling bracket I just sign up and I've found old thread about H2H Ladder.
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,321.0.html

I was playing in a ladder like this during Warbirds time and it was great fun.
There are free online ladder sites now so we can start our without coding new web page ( like they tried in 2000).
Example
http://clanbase.ggl.com/rating.php?lid=12101

What do you all think?

prono,

Saurkrat ( <-- spellin ),

ran an Aces High Dueling H2H Ladder for several years that was quiet successful here in Aces High

back in AH1 and during AH2, till eventually he had real life step up and get in his way, if I recall correctly

he also had a  2 vs 2  Ladder as well

with its own website and score tallying system, similar to what you have linked to above

TW9 was trying to get it going again a few years back, but I think Iraq came calling his name ( I may be wrong about the player and the fighting zone, just going off of memory here )


this was not an aces high ( HTC ) sanctioned event, it was done voluntarily by Saurkraut back then.......

if you want to do something like this try and see how many are interested in it, and if enough are ....... go for it, set one up....



hope this helps

no sir, Ink

he is refering to a straight up dueling ladder like Hangtime, or Exile, or Sourkraut  had running

where you could for example challenge the person that was ranked 2 positions above you or vice versa........ it is an on going ladder that runs continously

I have participated in several, back in Air Warrior, here in Aces High, etc.....

Sirloin, Shane, Steve, Sniper, Bustr, Lazer.............. oh heck  numerous AH players participated in these........  

Hangtime ran one back on WB and Exile & an AK ( can't remember his call sign ) ran the first one here back in 2000 or 2001........ NathBDP  might of even helped run it with Exile

anyways the old  Aces High Dueling Ladder Forum no longer exists....... but one might could do a search for sourkraut  or for his postings

hope this helps

+1 I would definitely want into it too.

The dueling bracket that Bald puts so much effort into is cool, but for guys like me it only amounts to 1 duel every few months.  I would love an organized event that would let me get as much stick time vs better pilots as possible.

So...  plz help me out with this, if im wrong. Not sure about theese phrases.
It would be something like the professional boxing or chess: the lower ranked one calls the highly ranked one for a duel match, and if the lower ranked one wins, he takes the others rank and became able to call out the next one? Or, just like the tennis or the snooker, about points gained?
Thanks,
Debrody

Debrody, say your on the bottom of the ladder.  You can challenge as far as three places above you.   If you win you take their spot and I assume they go down just once.

Yes ladder uses chess like rating system.
You gain more points winning with higher ranked opponents but they gain little winning with you.  :rolleyes:
Winning helps you climb the ladder but unless he is one place above you very unlikely place swap.

Sounds interesting, how do you handle plane types? I'd like it just so there was a formal way of asking for 1v1.

I am guessing the challenger picks first plane loser picks next plane.......should be best of 5, for below top ten, at the top ten level best of 7....

I have been going over some rules and what not....would think they will be very similar to BE dueling turny or any duel in the DA :headscratch:

with different specific rules for the ladder progress
