Why Join?

1.) You Decide:

You make the rules!  You decide what game to play in the league, how it is played, what determines a win, etc.  All decisions are completely up to you.

2.) Not Restricted to Online Games:

Unlike other websites, this is not strictly for online games.  Make a league for your friends and keep stats for home video game systems, or have it for a sports league.  If you can think of it, you can make a league out of it!

3.) Support:

Having a set administrator for each ladder allows for quicker response time for support, and creates accurate evaluations of any problems that arise.  He can enlist help by adding other administrators with varying levels of power and specific tasks to perform.

4.) Who Can Join:

You can have a globally available ladder, or you can make it invitation-only.

5.) Honesty & Increased Competition:

A more personal league lessens the chance of people not reporting their losses, and gives players a better chance at earning the #1 spot.

6.) Statistics:

Our leagues keep extensive statistics.  Detailed records of each player are kept, including current statistics, career highs, and statistics against other opponents.  Future enhancements will feature a 'Hall of Fame' for you to compare player's personal bests against others.

7.) The Ranking System:

Our standard ranking system works well with leagues of all sizes.  There are other sites which allow you to create your own game leagues, but their ranking systems are only suited for leagues of over 50 people!  Our system works well whether you have 5, 500, or 5000 players competing, making it ideal for any situation.  Newer developments will also allow you to choose how players are ranked (ex: by skill rating, win percentage, most wins, etc.)

8.) Future Enhancements:

In the future you will be able to create Team Leagues, along with Tournaments both for your individual league and as standalone events.  You will also be able to further customize the look of your personal league with more control over the colors, fonts, and backgrounds, and by placing your own logo on the league's homepage.

9.) Speed & Reliability:

Speed:  Using PHP scripts with a MySQL backend guarantees quick retrieval, insertion, and updating of data.  Automatically compressing data before it is sent to the browser reduces the amount of content sent to the client by up to 80%.  Using the Apache web server combined with the latest PHP mod ensures lightning-quick processing.

Reliability:  Our servers are connected in such a way so that if you can get to Yahoo™, you can get to our website.  We are connected in a way that allows us to exchange packets with every major backbone carrier in a one-to-one environment, and there are up to 150,000 possible routes to send each packet of information.  If you are wondering about the line speed, we are currently connected to an OC-48 backbone.

10.) Cost:

It's FREE!  There is no cost to use our game leagues, so you are at no risk.  If you do not like our system, you can simply cancel your league at any time with no consequence.
