one more about the stair rule:
2) If u win a game you move up 1 step, if you lose a game you move down 1 step...and
5) you can only challenge another player on the same step or within 3 lower as you

it is unfair for the one at the top, the no.1 player must challenge the 3 players below, when he lost he has to move down 1 step, and when he won he cannot move up anywhere

the rule is set up that you can ONLY move above anyone without beating that player.

I think you have to beat the player to take his place...you have to beat the no.1 to be the true no.1
