1 a. <-> Welcome
========
Welcome to the YF's Ladder Site. As many of you might have guessed already, this is a Ladder Ranking system designed soley for competition between duelists. I've spent a lot of time putting this together, so make sure you read the rules, and have fun working your way to the top!

2. <-> Reporting Losses
=============
To start participating in the ladder, visit our chatrooms. The link is on the main page, or here. Make sure you get your opponent's Player ID/Ladder Name before starting a Duel with him/her. If you lose the Duel, you must report that loss right away. To report your loss, simply click on Report a Loss at the left side of the site, and follow the instructions. Select the winner of the Duel from the list below. If you cannot find the name, you can search for it by using the Search function. You have to input the Player ID to search for a name, so it is recommended you retrieve your opponent's name and ID before Ladder Duel. You may wish to comment on the match if you want to. All Ladder Duels are 2/3. For the Score, simply input the number of times you won and the number of times your opponent won. For example, If I won 2 duels in my match and my opponent won 1, I would input 2 for me and 1 for my opponent.
b. <-> Confirming Wins
======================
When you win, make sure your opponent reports his/her loss, then click on Confirm a win at the left, and follow the instructions. You may wish to leave a comment if you want to. Note, Your win cannot be recorded until its confirmed, so make sure your opponent reports his/her loss.
3. <-> Trophies, Tournaments & Conclusion
====================================
Special Trophies are awarded to players who accomplish certain things such as win 5 duels in a row, or have 50 or more wins altogether. Your trophy is always visible right next to your name on the ladder list!
Tournaments are special events that are held in Yugioh Fans, by a Tournament Director. All tournaments will include comprehensive information, Signup Deadlines, and Tournament Location [Usually in our Chat Room].
Every Tournament Winner, or Runner-up Receives a special Award. The 1st place winner receives the title, YF's best Duelist, and the Runner up receives the YF's second best Duelist award.
I wish everyone the best of luck, this site is dedicated to YF for doing such a great job on the episodes. May the Best Duelist win.
Regards,
Philip.
