Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A tournament arrangement whereby participants are ranked in order of estimated strength with the best one at the top of the ranking and with any participant permitted to challenge either of the 2 participants immediately above him. If the challenger wins, he moves up to occupy the place held by the one he defeated. The defeated player takes the place in the ranking occupied by the player who challenged and defeated him. 3, record 1, English, - ladder%20tournament
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Often, when a challenger defeats another participant 2 rungs above, he will take the defeated player's place, and then both the defeated player and the player in between drop a rung. After several contests with the winners moving up and losers moving down, the rankings will reflect the true strengths of the participants. The ladder tournament is best suited to long-term play (as in tennis) as a method of maintaining a continuous ranking of participants. 3, record 1, English, - ladder%20tournament
