Resetting Ink's Dueling Ladder idea: Vote
« on: October 04, 2011, 08:43:06 AM »
Here's a thought I had about the Dueling Ladder.  Ink said to post it up for a look see and vote from the participants.

Instead of re-randomizing the Ladder every 6 months or so, how about just turning it upside down?  The first shall be last and the last shall be first kind of thing.  This would force the top guys to fight their way back up through the ladder AND give the crappy sticks (such as myself) lots of new opportunities to spar with the skilled guys that we may not get otherwise.

What say you duelers?

I say...

I like it....my only concern with the ladder was that the best would end up at the top until us average guys got good enough to roust them out......could be a long while.......but this option gives all a chance to fight with the best once in a while...good idea...+1

when they run a round of the V8 touring cars here that is three sprint races, the second race is always a reverse grid of the finishing order of the first race. Always makes for great viewing so I cant see how it would hurt here.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.
