Chairmen of HCL are JM_Grip and Ugluk (watch also "Staff"). This time we don't need referees but if required it' no problem to request some of them. All team-members of HCL are allowed to register results. How explained under point "registration" ist will be possible to see all datas and results in the rank lists. Every participant will receive a card index which saves all personal data.
Momentarily there is no end for the position table, there will be no partitioning into e.g season. So there will be no reset of rank lists.
In some circumstances, the HCL-Chairmen can order a restart, if this could be favourably for the situation!

New registered players will start from the end of the appropriate rank list. It's the classic "climb to the top of the ladder" situation. The participant can only challenge opponents which are not more than 3 places above them, e.g if you placed on 10th rank, you can only challenge the players with rank 9, 8 and 7.
If you manage it to win againt place 7, you will take his place an he must step down the ladder to position 8. All concerned player move up one place.
Challenges will take part in using the forum for anouncements. It's the best away to inform the Staff for following challenge. The match have to be completed within 2 weeks, outgoing from date of anouncement.
