I Have been asked to post about the above mentioned subjects so i will start by putting up what the rules say about it.
Rank Hounding: Players in the Top Ten are expected to be as active after they reach the top ranks as they were before. In other words, if you are playing 20 games a day to make it to the Top Ten and then only play once a week to hold your rank you may be penalized.
Leapfrogging: Players in the Top Ten should try to play the person ranked directly below them at least once every three days. If you are found to be avoiding challenges that put your rank at risk your account will be penalized.
on the first an example would be , if you are the # 2 player on your ladder and you play every day and capture the # 1 spot then disappear for a couple of days or avoid laddermatches or tourneys with the former #1 playing that in my opinion is rank hounding. On leapfrogging... If you play on a regular basis and enter tourneys on the ladders then there should be no problem. If you capture the # 1 spot just playing in tourneys on a ladder that is active with laddergames i think you should make more effort to be there for tourneys until you are beaten if you dont intend to offer laddergames in the room in which the ladder plays. If you want a shot at #1 usually all you have to do is ask for a ladderset or enter tourneys the # 1 player is in. Most players will be happy to play you. If you get turned down for a set then go to your ladders website and click the rules link. There you will find out the steps to take. You can also contact the league admins for help. Hope that helped cya at the tables

Ok,now I know what leap froggers & rank hounds are. What are tea baggers, squid wranglers & wacky stackers?
I would like to say that on this rank thing.. there have been a few times i have reached a high spot. and on the top ten.. and there have been days when i havent played while in those positions. I do not do it to keep my rank. as i seldom even know where i am unless someone says. but i dont play because of my health.. so i would hope that for those of us who do reach a top ten spot that these rules can be applied on an individual basis. I didnt even know such a rule existed. But then we all know me.. slow texan.. i play for the fun and no other reason.
