The ladder portion of Case's Ladder is designed so that you can play anyone you want at any time. This is why your best bet for finding matches is to ask in a chat room where others are playing games.
Most of the major gaming services have many Ladder members. Generally, going to the busiest chat room on the gaming service you want to play on and simply asking publically if anyone wants a Ladder match is all you need to do.
Some of the major services, like Yahoo! Games and Internet Gaming Zone, have special channels exclusively for Ladder participants. You should use these when available.
We discourage the use of E-mail to find matches unless you are on a small ladder or need to play on specific person. It's much easier to pick up matches in a chat room.

After a match is completed the LOSER of the match should come to the Ladder site and report it. When the loser reports a match all of the statistics and records are automatically updated.
If you are competing on the ladder report your losses in "The Ladder" section. If you are competing in a tournament report your loss under the "Tournament" section.
You might ask yourself: Why does the loser report? Why would they? First of all this league is about sportsmanship and having fun. Almost all of our users are here for that. Our statistics indicate that 99.4% of matches are reported without a problem.
If you SHOULD ever run into someone who doesn't report your match with a day or so of playing it you need to immediately report them to our staff. We have a SUPPORT area on the site that you can use to do this.
Members who do not report are penalized harshly and removed from the league if they have multiple offenses.
