-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenge Information:
How to Join & Play: (I'm going to try and recompress the video tutorial see if it works)
- Create an account at Fragged Nation
- Join this ladder: "SC2 Armory 1v1 Ladder . Season 2"
- Password is gosuladder
- Challenge someone (pick 3 dates and times)
- Play your game
- Report results
- Challenge again (or be challenged)
Regarding Timezones:
- Remember that the armory has members all over the world.
- Timezone to use is standard GMT (London). Make sure you talk to your opponent and agree on a proper time for both.
- Bear in mind the time differences so you don't miss your match. Example: if you live in the US East Coast (GMT -4), and the match is setup at GMT 4:00pm, that means that your match would be at 12:00pm your time. If you, however, live in France (GMT plus1), then the match would be at 5:00pm your time.
Communicating with your Opponent:
If you wish to communicate with your opponent, go ahead and use the Match Comm tab under "Challenge" to send messages, or you can just PM him through the Armory or Hamachi.
Waiting & Rescheduling Games:
- By default, games are scheduled 3 days ahead of time.
- However, if you wish to play right away you can play even on the same day, report, and be done with it.
- If you wish to make it official, you can always request a "schedule change" after the challenge has been accepted. Your opponent needs to agree for this to take effect though.
Where to Play your Games:
The recommended way to play is to PM your opponent and pick one of the 4 Ladder Hamachi Servers, created exclusively for this:
SC2A Ladder Network 1
SC2A Ladder Network 2
SC2A Ladder Network 3
SC2A Ladder Network 4
- Password for all networks is gosuladder
- Note: networks will be cleaned every week to ensure there is enough room for everyone.
- Duplicate joining, or people not part of the Armory and it's ladder will be inmediately removed.
- For questions regarding Hamachi use this guide.
- Alternatively Battle.net can be used instead, but your opponent must agree to this.
Forfeits and Inactivity:
- A player is entitled to 48 hours to accept a challenge.
- Forfeits requested before 48 hours will not be considered unless both players express it via Match Comm or a direct PM to Bloodwolf (Admin).
- Overdue challenges will be processed as forfeits if this is requested, and will be deleted after 2 days.
- Players with more than 2 forfeit loses will be toggled as Inactive.
- Inactive players wanting to play need to request deactivation via PM to Bloodwolf (Admin).
