y if you lose you exchange pos with the winner i mean shouldnt he just go in front of you, im back behind fred now wth?

 

That's a good point. You shouldn't switch positions, you should just get inserted above the one you beat.

no, because people will lose their position without playing...not fair.

 

 

But is it fair for you to suddenly be below someone you just beat? All of a sudden you have to beat the same exact person again since you can't challenge the person you just lost to. And if you just beat them, you can't challenge them for another week so you're stuck in that spot for a week unless someone below you beats you. The system is broken as-is.

I understand the concern, but the system is the way it is to allow for the rankings to keep moving at a reasonable pace and attempt to be fair. If we had it at one step above only, people would be screwed if someone went on vacation or hiatus. Punishing someone who didn't play? Well if the 2nd place person went on a weeks vacation they could be knocked off the rankings list with enough activity. No matter what system we use something isn't going to be fair with it. We've just decided to stick with what we, in our opinion, believe to be fairest.

If your rankings changed, your time to rematch is cleared I believe.

If it were entirely up to me, I'd change the system to a biweekly tournament for points to assign rankings and drop the challenging nonsense. As it stands I work with 4 other people and I'm only really in charge of the rule set.

I still think the initial rankings should have been assigned by a round robin points tournament rather then opinion, but oh well.
