Grim Reaper: On IYT you must accept a challenge from whoever gets to you first if you have open spots. If someone with real skill is 60 places below you and wins you can crash 60 slots. In games like these the high ranked guy has nothing at all to gain..he must win or crash. I think you are right that ladders are difficult and inaccurate. On the other hand a BKR rating is pretty easy to protect by not playing any games. I won't even mention Gold Token where the number one player (when you add in friendly games) is Chief KM. LOL.
