Ladder rules

Eligibility

  • Maintain one TopMid account and compete under it. Account sharing, impersonation, and unapproved stand-ins are not allowed.

Challenges

  • Issue challenges through the TopMid ladder plugin. Climb equal-or-higher ratings within the ±100 Elo band, subject to open-challenge, roster, and pair checks.
  • Max 5 eligible challenges per calendar day. Same pair: at most 2 challenge or match events per rolling 7 days, and not within 72h of the last challenge or locked match.
  • 72h to accept, decline, or arrange — or the challenge expires. Propose days/times; the opponent picks one to lock.

Report

  • Report on the match page with a Halo Tracker match URL (not a profile URL). TopMid does not scrape Tracker pages.
  • Dual captain reports lock Elo. One URL with no dispute auto-accepts after 24h; unverifiable → 24h admin then void (no Elo).

Disputes

  • Open a dispute from the match page with a clear reason and evidence. Authorized officials review and may dismiss, void, or award the match.
  • An official on either active roster must recuse. Confirmed results rebuild through the plugin — no manual Elo typing.

Conduct

  • No cheating, unauthorized software, collusion, result fraud, harassment, hate speech, threats, or deliberate disruption.
  • Do not falsify a roster, Halo Tracker identity, match URL, screenshot, or report. Sanctions: warning → forfeit → suspend (or remove from the ladder).

No-show

  • No-show after the scheduled time can be forfeited by the present captain (Elo applies). ~1h match reminder.

This ladder

  • Fours roster cap 8. Max 2 multi-ladder teams per player.
  • Before challenge create or accept, both sides need 4+ active roster with linked Xbox (xbl) Halo Tracker binds.
  • Arena Bo5 pick/ban locks before Tracker report.

Pick/ban process
  1. Higher seed chooses whether to draft first (Team A) or second (Team B). No usable seed → higher Elo → logged server coin flip.
  2. Snake modes: A–B–A–B; G5 mode = leftover.
  3. Per G1–G4: non-mode ban → mode ban → non-mode map → mode side (Eagle/Cobra).
  4. G5: Team B ban → Team A ban → Team B map → Team A side.
  5. Full slate locks before Game 1. Tracker report only after pick/ban is locked.
