Hi Lewis, Yes that is correct.

Does this Imean I can challenge #s 3 or 4 which are lower rated in order for me to move up to the #1 position? Is this correct?!

Games will not be published on the list. 2. The initial ladder seeding will be in reverse rating order. 3. Anyone joining after Wednesday (April 28) is seeded at the current bottom. 4. You may leave the tournament at any time and reenter later at the bottom. 5. I will post official rules regarding tournament details prior to the official start on May 1, 2010. 6. All ladder tournament games will be rated as tournament games Below is my initial reverse seeding of all those I think want to participate in the tournament. If I missed anyone, let me know. If anyone is uncomfortable with their ladder position, let me know and I will remove you from this initial seeding and insert you at the bottom on May 1 when the tournament officially begins.
