Ladder Frog?

'The Ladder' thread was getting way too long. 
The 'frog' is very important in ladder play, but not the only issue. Number one should be playing other top ten players often to give them a chance to climb. After reading these posts, I had a look at some people's records...they not only didn't play the rank right under them but didn't play anybody near them in rank.
Some people could call that 'protection' I guess but don't look like good sport
... anyone that is good enough to make top ten should be willing to play other top ten to prove their expertise.
You may wonder why I would post on the subject since I'm not top ten and haven't been, but if I decide one of these days to make the effort I would like to think it was being played in a manner of goodwill and fun.

You know I respect you and we've played many times. just to set the record straight, I am in the #1 position right now and I've played at least 4 of the top ten players recently and two of them play in the same tourneys I play every day.
I never ran from a player except whe I know the game with that player is just not enjoyable. By this I mean a player with a DSL hook-up with connectivity of 0.017sec averaging over 30 seconds a move. This is offesive to me not because of the time but because it tends to ruin the flow of the tourney.
You are an outstanding player and I would, and do, play you all the time.
I guess your point is not targeted at me
Well.....

I remember a ladder here where the #1 would play all of the Top 10...daily...and not just a few...in 10 days.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
