Set lengths
For each HoP challenge, sets must run as follows:

- ± 1 rank = FT5
- ± 2 ranks = FT7
- ± 3 ranks = FT10

Should the challenger win the set, they shall claim the rank of the challenged. Should the challenged win the set, they shall maintain their current rank. Players may add their own forfeits (e.g. money) to challenges if they wish.
 

Double or nothing
The loser of the set may challenge their opponent to a "double or nothing" set for a second chance at (re)claiming the opponent's rank for a win. However, losing this set shall result in a demotion of one rank on the leaderboard.
 

Cooldown time
Existing players may only participate in one challenge every 3 days.
 

Newcomers
Newcomers to the HoP may challenge the highest-ranked player within the light blue ranks (Grand Master) to a FT10 for their rank. Winning the set will allow them to challenge the highest-ranked player in the next category (green ranks, then yellow ranks, etc.) until they lose, at which point they enter the leaderboard at the top of the previous category (e.g. if they lose the green rank challenge, they enter at the top of light blue ranks).

Should the newcomer lose their first set, they shall enter the HoP at the bottom of the leaderboard.
 

Inactivity
Existing players who do not participate in at least one challenge over a period of 30 days shall be demoted by three ranks on the leaderboard.
