Based on clooneman's tournament 2-3 years ago, http://www.funkypool.com/thread/18323/straight-pool-ladder/1

The Rules (partly copied from clooneman)

This tournament is a straight ladder, and it runs like this. Each rung/step/level has two players, and in each round of games, one player on that level plays a player on the level above to try to swap places with him/her, while the other player plays the player below to try and not get relegated to that level. The exception is the top rung, which contains just one player who always plays someone on the second step and has to win in order to stay up there.

How the rounds work
Each round of games consists, for now, of just one game between a player on one level playing someone on an adjacent level. This may change if there are vacancies; in this case, the two players on the same step will play each other to see who goes up, the players on the step below them play each other to see who fills that gap, etc.

Round 1
The order of the ladder will be sorted out using current straight pool rank.
Games will be 1 racks long.
And if the above doesn't make sense (don't worry) and check out cloones previous tournament, it should help.
Games will be released every Wednesday, if we get enough people wanting to join.
If anyone would like to help me with this tournament let me know.
Oh yeah no time wasters
