The following is copied from the RULES when you go to the Blue Ladder link on the left. 
Players in the Top Ten must play the rank one level directly below them at least once every 6 days. The Ladder ranking for a Top Ten player will be automatically reduced by 2 levels if within a 6-day period this player does not play with those who rank one level below. Such automatic rank reduction is reported as 'rank reduction due to Top Ten inactivity'.
Top Ten players MUST play a rank-threatening game at least once in a 6-day period. Top Ten ladder players must follow all general rules, all Top Twenty rules AND the specific rules for Top Ten.
Whether the games are for $Tickets or not, the players in Top Ten can play no more than 1 Ladder game in 24 hours with a player whose ranking is within 8 rungs from their own ranking. A Top-10 player cannot play more than 2 Ladder games against the same player within a 24 hr period.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
