MechCorps Ladder

(Circa 2005-2020 originally intended for use during MechCorps Regulars’ Nights.)

Summary:

This is an ongoing series of 1v1 duels conducted throughout the year, but could also be conducted between matches of a tournament weekend.

Mission Conditions:

• Random Map - ALL maps allowed    (Not revealed to Duelists.)

• Random Conditions.

• Team Attrition Scoring.

• Full Advanced Game Mode.

• No Return will be ON. (No respawns.)

Initiate Challenge:

• Challenger must challenge the Pilot directly above them on the ladder in attendance. If the challenger’s name is not on the ladder, selection starts from the bottom of the list.

• Challenger chooses 'Mech Class (Light, Medium, Heavy, Assault).

• Defender chooses 'Mech Chassis in the selected class.

• Both players will be in the same 'Mech.

• Variant Mechs are allowed if both Duelists are MechCorps Level 2 members.

• If one of the Duelists is Level 1, only Stock Mechs are allowed for both Duelists.

Post-Mission Results:

• If Challenger wins, Challenger moves to the rung above the Defender on the ladder.

• If Challenger loses, Challenger loses one rung, Defender does not move.

• In the event of a double kill or no kills, both the Challenger and the Defender lose 1 rung.

Challenge Limitations:

• Maximum 4 drops (losses) per day (2 Challenges, 2 Defends) per pilot.

• No rematches on the same day.

• If a pilot is not present at Regulars’ Night for 4 straight weeks, the pilot will incur a 4 rung penalty. The pilot will then lose one rung per week not present at Regulars’ Night. Descent is halted when attendance resumes. (Exception: Pilots who are a part of a Mobile Armor Division event will not have that week counted against them)
