Hi All, Chris has graciously been helping me work out some of the kinks in our ladder tournament rules. I think between the two of us we have uncovered most of the major problems. I will attempt to write up something tomorrow that resolves the problems and is also clear. The clear part may be the hardest task as I am an engineer by training! Forcing the ladder concept into a correspondence tournament format is more tricky than I thought at first glance. Hang in there we will figure it out before Saturday! Richard
