A Change in Cribbage Ladder Rules

As soon as Ladder prizes are disbursed, each of the Top Ten players will be dropped 100 ladder spots. (Previously a 10 rung drop was in place)
The above rule change was implemented two weeks ago per suggestion of one of the players who is a regular in Top Twenty. We apologize not announcing the rule change earlier in Forum ahead of time.
The reason for the rule change was very simple. After looking at Top Ten players over a 12 month period, we found that very frequently the same players were making Top Ten list month after month. Some of them found ways to stay in Top Ten that even though did not break any rules, were very 'creative'.
We want all players to have a shot at making Top Ten and dropping the winners out of the 100 range was deemed to be a reasonable solution.
If a player has good game skills, he/she would eventually make it back to Top Twenty while, at the same time, giving a chance of advancement to others.

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.
