A: To invite member to the clan, you need to go to your account home page and click "Manage Clans". There will be a list of clans on that page that you are a member of, and each one you are an Admin of will present an "invite members" icon in the list.

Click this icon and follow the steps to invite one or more members to join your clan.

From your Account menu, click the "Competition" tab, then click "Manage Roster" on the team you want to edit. The up/down arrows signify promoting or demoting a member on the roster to captain status.

A: An ineligible status can be obtained by not having a GUID on file for games that require it, or because the time restriction from the time a ladder is joined, or re-joined has not been met. Participants must wait 6 hours after joining a ladder, or going from inactive to active, to make a challenge or accept a challenge. This is usually the culprit.

A: First, get your ladder populated and running! All rules, settings, maps, etc. must be configured and in working order. If the ladder has enough participants (at our discretion) and activity, we may offer you the chance to join our admin staff and convert your ladder to an official Public Ladder. If you wish to have your ladder marked for consideration, please send a PM to your Game Admin, or a Global Admin if a Game Admin is not assigned or available.

A: In order to have secondary Owner for your private ladder, you will need to send a PM to a Game Admin for the particular game and ask that an individual be added. In the even a Game Admin is not assigned or available, you may PM a Global Admin with the request.

A: Guids are added and managed from the GUID Management Interface in your account profile. Click your avatar in the upper-right of any screen once logged in, and then navigate to the Competition tab in your Account Home. Once there, click the GUID Management icon, and then enter in your GUID, which is usually found on the CD Case, or original packing of the game.

A: ELO ladders award points to players according to the skill of the challenger and the skill level of your opponent. Rung based ladders do not use points to determine your position, rather you challenge someone above you in the ladder and if you win, you take their place higher up the ladder.

A: An ELO ladder is sorted by points which are awarded based on skill level. Points for winning/losing matches are calculated based on the probability of you winning the match. If you are MORE likely to win a match (based on current skill rating compared to your opponent) you will receive less points for the win, and MORE points for the loss, considering you SHOULD have beaten them! If you are LESS likely to win (i.e., you are the underdog) you will receive more points for the win, and less for the loss.

The mechanics of ELO is described in full in the General Rules section of FraggedNation.

A: A Rung Based - "King of the Hill" style ladder is not sorted by points, wins/loss, or anything other than current location in the ladder. If you're in 10th place, and you beat the #1 person, you're the #1 spot now. Challenging can only occur upward, never downward.

A: Yes they are, as forums themselves are publicly available. They will be treated much the same as any other FN forum.

A: Whenever a member of the forum police take action against someone, it could have repercussions later on which is why FN only employs the most trusted people for the role of forum police. If at any time FN believe a member was working outside the SOP's, they would be informed and allowed to correct any mistakes and to defend their actions. The forum police are fully supported by FN and their decisions are regarded final at the highest levels.

A: No, not in the same way as it is private to you and your clan members but FN will keep an eye out for it's content. It's content will not be revealed publicly and you can feel safe in the knowledge that other clans cannot see your discussions.

If FN feels you are using your private section unlawfully, you will be warned followed by a possible suspension.
