- How are position changes are computed?
- How long do I stay on the ladder?
- What are Local and Global Ladders?
- Why do some entries show ICQ number and state/country?
Position changes are computed as follows:
- The loser stays where they are.
If the loser is at 10 and the winner is at 23, the winner moves to (10+23)/2 == 33/2 == 16.5, which rounds down to 16.
Zappers between 16 and 22 all move down one position and the winner moves up to 16.
-
If your Win Margin * 5 > Rank
Margin you move up one.
Example you are at 25 on the ladder and you beat someone at position 45 by a margin of 7-2:
Win Margin * 5 = 25 --
(i.e. 5 * (7 - 2))
Rank Margin = 20 --
(i.e. 25 - 20)
25 is greater than 20 so you move up on rung.

(Beginners_Position - Experts_Position) / 10Your change in level will be posted the next time I run the ladder program (many times a day). Local and Global Ladders: We have separate ladders for Canada and Australia. If there is sufficient interest we can add additional ones. Note that position changes are computed on the Global Ladder so your position change on any local ladder may not follow the rules above. How Long do you Stay on?:
- If you are a fully registered WordZap player. You stay on the ladder for 30 days after which time you are "hidden" -- that is you don't show but when you play next you will start back only a little below where you were when your 30 days ended.
