Gamebattles Ladder (MLG) [Delete the other one]
 

Hey guys,
Figured out a way for us to pull this off so we can enjoy all the great features GameBattles has to offer, including a challenge system, match finder, a ladder, forum, stream, match resolution and more.

For anyone who has never heard of MLG, its the Major League Gaming circuit and it's used to host tournaments and run regular season ladders among the most popular games.

The plan for us Graalians is to join under a dead ladder like 'Black OPs II' which has no activity. Pretty simple. The link for the the ladder is provided below.

The link is http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming...-black-ops-ii/

Sign up, Pick a Ladder, create your team, and lets start challenging.

ALL DEVICES ARE WELCOME TO SIGN UP!

Ladder Rules and Info:

Refs/Hosts: Demrow, CrimeWatcher, Zetectic

Contact Demrow or CrimeWatcher in-game by messaging them for any questions about the tournament. All referees and tournament hosts can be found easily in the guild (Tournament Host)

Team Size:
Just like the actual GST, each team will have 5 core players, and an optional 2 substitute players.


Official Graal Spar Rules:
This tournament is for players of all devices; iDevice, PC, Android, etc.
5v5:First guild to reach 5 wins is victorious.
2v2:First guild to reach 10 wins is victorious (Right now for Premium members only)
1v1:First competitor to reach 5 or 10 wins (which ever is agreed upon) is victorious.

Starting The Match:
Before starting the match between two guilds, a trial/practice match will occur beforehand to determine whether it is too laggy to spar or not. Each team must come to an agreement to decide if they want to start the official matches. If not, the match will be postponed to a later date.

Report Match:
1)Go to your Team
2)Under 'Upcoming and Recent Matches' click 'View Details'
3)On the Right hand side of the screen find 'Report Match'
4) Enter in results

Side Note: For 1v1 Matches the series is up to 5 but the ladder is set up as best of 5 so there is a restriction on how many games you can enter. For the winner just enter 3 and the loser just enter 2.

Requirements:
You and the opposing guild leader are responsible for posting the results of the match. If a ref is needed to oversee the match. Contact a referee or (Tournament Host)

Match Rules:
If a player is warped out due to a notification (text message, low battery percentage, etc.) in the beginning of a match, it will be restarted. Players warped out in the middle of a live match will not be declared as a restart as this can be abused to avoid a loss.
If a player sparring is lagging tremendously and is completely frozen at the start of a match, a restart will be declared.
If a player is frozen during a live match and the team he/she is on is at a disadvantage (1v3) the team with 3 players left will earn an automatic win. If the match is in progress with an even amount of players (5v5), the match will be restarted.

To create a team:

1)Follow the link (http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming...-black-ops-ii/)
2)Click "Create a Team" on the right hand side of your screen
3)Select a Ladder (Team ladder) for 5v5 GST style matches
4)Fill out guild name, and put your graal gamertag in
5) Create Guild!

There are ladders for 1v1, 2v2, and 5v5 also so whatever you prefer.

Ahh, this is sort of like anthers ladder (aka: smashladder). But isn't this like the guild spar arena at the battle arena but with a 2v2 option?

Gamebattles is a tournament/seasonal ladder system used by competitive games such as CoD, Halo, LoL (Barely though their in game ladder is pretty strong), and many other games.

I'd like to get a 5v5 ladder going but I think before we do that we test the waters with a
2v2 ladder and work our way up to 5v5.

Basically what you would do is
-create a team
-add your partner (in the case of 2v2)
-Send or find a challenge
-Start your match at the time and day specified
-Record results on gamebattles website

Gamebattles website will record
-win/losses
-Point/xp that actually makes sense
-reputation(so if you're a troll with a bad rep, people can avoid you)

Nice

Barney vs Demrow
Show's how to submit results at the end!

What if the match outcome is different and the one who lost posts wrong info on the website for trolling?Wouldn't it ruin the ladders?

People do that stuff all the time in gb, you would need to get a website admin and dispute with evidence that you won.

Good questions. If the match outcome is different and no ticket is submitted then the match is void. If someone acts like a troll and maliciously try's to ruin the ladder you can give them a bad rep so others can avoid them and submit a ticket to have them banned.

And what if the troll also gives you -rep for the love of trolling?

@Aguzo I wouldn't take the ladders seriously until this is done.We need someone to control all this ****.

They can negative rep you and lets say you have 10 matches and 9 positive reps and 1 negative, you're in good shape. Compared to the Troll who has 5 matches and all 5 negative rep, I think it will eventually even itself out and you'll know who to avoid.

LOLOLOLOLOL
GRAAL GBs
I LITTERALY NEVER THOUGHT ID SEE THE DAY

Have fun kiddies

Update: The 2v2 ladder is now open to everyone. It was premium members only but I got that reversed.

Contacted Ron (ladder admin) and we now have an admin that will work on our ladder and handle any disputes. Avoid disputes if possible but be aware that we are in the Black Ops ladder so talking about Graal will not be understood by the admin.

I have applied to become an admin to hopefully handle all tickets and issues myself.

what are the prizes?
