ladder stars

reaching page one on a ladder is noteworthy
doing it on more than one ladder is exceptional

RFN has done it on three ladders

chmrjg has accomplished this feat on four ladders

has anyone been on page one of all five ladders at the same time?
this could be called the ladder slam
more than anything, it takes a lot of patience especially when dealing with slow players on a 14 or 21 day ladder
the key, play players who play fast

I entered 7, 14 and 21 day ladders.
I hope to arrive on page 1 in 2018, 2022 and 2030... ;D

you'll be a 3 star within 2 years

hmm - maybe you are right. I started in ladder21 5 years ago - am at position 40 now...

Now, if I can join the Paying Members for RedHotPawn.com, the Ladder system would mean more to me because it has a 14 or 21 day ladder group rather than any tournaments that require me to move all my 21 day game moves in the tournament by such and such a time. It is hard enough trying to play 4 games at once. How would I be able to really play meaningful games if I had to finish 10 games using 21 day move times within a year or less. One of my games is still going on with macnumer which may be nearing 1 year play time if not already over a year.

probably the most appealing feature of playing in a ladder is that you don't have to be a 2000+ rated player in order to reach the top ten
several in the top ten are rated below 1600
