Question about the ladder rules:
If you challenge someone and win, you are put one place ahead of them.
What happens if someone is ahead of you, you challenge them, and
you win the game, but in the meantime you overtake them by beating
someone else. Does your winning the game cause you to be demoted?
Surely not. I take it you can't challenge people below you on the
list - though there's no reason why you would want to, I suppose.
