Points System
Each division has it's own ladder/ranking system. Rankings in the ladder are decided by your Ladder Score (points total). Ties in the ladder are broken by fight records. If fight records are tied in this instance, the fighters will fight each other.
- Each fighter starts with a score of 0
- 25 Points for each "best of" win
- 12.5 (split points) for a "best of" draw
- 0 Points for a loss
When do I fight?
Fight cards will be posted at least 1 week prior to every DMC night. If you are scheduled to fight and your opponent does not show, another fighter will be chosen to step in for your opponent. You are not penalized for not showing up for a fight, though if you make it a habit of not showing, you may not be put on future fight cards.
Who do I fight?
At the beginning of a season, fighters are randomly paired. After the first fights, fights are created based on fighter rankings in the ladder.
How do I select which class I play in my division?
If you choose to agree to classes with your opponent prior to a fight, that is completely acceptable. Otherwise;
Before the fight starts, each fighter secretly selects their character in spawn. NO CHANGING CLASSES ONCE YOUR SPAWN DOOR OPENS!! Any change will result in a complete disqualification and your opponent will be awarded a win for that duel. A fighter may change classes in spawn, after a win/death. Once again, if your spawn door opens, that is YOUR CLASS!
You may change weapons, load outs etc in spawn.
Win/Lose/Draw
Ladder scores and fight records will be kept up to date in the Signup/Ranking thread. (0-0-0) is the format. A win is scored by killing your opponent in a "best of" fight. If best of 3, you must kill your opponent 2 times, etc. You lose by being killed as many times. If both fighters happen to kill each other in the same fight, it is counted as a draw. One fighter must survive the fight to be awarded a win. If both fighters end up in a complete draw after their "best of" fights, they split the full fight points. Modifer points are not applied to a draw.
"What if I die after my opponent?"
The fight will be considered a draw. If you are on fire, you must wait for the flames to go out before the fight will be considered complete. One fighter must survive the fight to be awarded a win.
Challenge!
Want to rise up the ranks quickly? Or maybe there's an old loss you want to revenge? During a challenge fight night, any fighter may challenge any fighter (despite rank) to a (best of 3) fight. A challenge can not be turned down! These fights will not be considered title fights so only points/record will be at stake.
Modifier: In addition to the 25 points for a win, winners receive an additional +5 points for each win (fight record) your opponent has above yours.
Modifier Example;
Fighter A Record (3-2-0) - Fighter B Record (5-1-0)
If fighter A wins, he/she is awarded 25 flat points for the win plus an additional +10 for the 2 wins Fighter B had above theirs. This means you earn more points when defeating someone with a better record than you.
Earning more points places you higher in the ladder, thus facing tougher opponents. So choose wisely!
Becoming a Top Contender
Fighter points/rankings determine who are the Top Contenders in each division. A fighter can become a Top Contender by earning points and rising up the ladder in their division. Only a Top Contender may fight for the Championship (of their division).
Fighting the Champ
So you're a Top Contender and you think you're ready to dethrone the champ? Whoa there! If the Champ so choses, he/she may elect to choose which class you both play, if they are willing to match you class for class. If the Champ chooses this option, they must play 1 of each class (in the division) throughout the (best of 7) match. If the Champ does not choose this option, standard fight rules apply. The Champ must make this decision before the first fight begins.
Becoming Champ
You have to beat the Champ! A Champ retains their division belt until a Top Contender beats them. The Champ must defend his/her title at least once per month (fight a Top Contender) or an interim Champion will be named. If the Champ is unable to fight the interim Champ within 1 month, he/she loses the belt.
Champ Loses The Belt
If the champ loses his/her belt for any reason, they will be considered a Top Contender (despite ladder rank) for 1 fight. The ex-Champ must defeat 1 Top Contender before challenging for the belt again. If the Champ fails to defeat the Top Contender in such a fight, their ladder score will again, determine their ranking.
