Well, I signed up.

I'm not sure about the managing of the whole challenge thing- it seems like the players at the top will be constantly hounded for matches, since a victory against them reaps the greatest incentive and progress.

If it becomes a problem, or perceived in advance to be a potential problem, a simple rule (like we used to have in a chess ladder I belonged to) could be made that says challenges can't be made over two rungs above you.

Of course, since there doesn't seem to be a formal challenge type thing going on here, maybe it won't be a problem. It's a bit strange as in KOTH, you have no choice. You play who you are matched up against and other than saying you're taking a break, you WILL be playing.

Also, let's consider the guy who is 3rd on the ladder (wants a chance to advance). He's waiting to play the guy who is 1st (who is currently in a game) and also receiving requests from "below" from other people who see him "inactive".
