Ladder for July and Beyond Posted by webmaster 30 Jun 2005 4:11pm Starting July 1 2005, frequent players in Ladder Tournaments and Ladder Mini-Tourneys will enjoy extra Ladder benefits. Ladder Prizes Ladder Prizes payable at the very beginning of each next month will be significantly increased: 1st place Ladder Prize in Gin & Backgammon Ladders -- 50 Bonus $Tickets 1st place Ladder Prize in Cribbage & Dominoes Ladders-- 30 Bonus $Tickets 1st place Ladder Prize in Canasta & Pool Ladders-- 20 Bonus $Tickets 1st place Ladder Prize in Chess Ladder-- 10 Bonus $Tickets 1st place Ladder Prize in Checkers Ladder-- 5 Bonus $Tickets Ladder Points A player will earn 1 Ladder Point for participating in any Ladder Tournament A player will earn 1 Ladder Point for every Ladder Mini-Tourney with a fee equal or greater than 5 $Tickets. As soon as the number of Ladder Points reaches 20, all of these Ladder Points will be converted to 1 Ladder rung advancement (step-up). After the step-up, the Ladder Points will start again at zero.There will be a Ladder Point statement for each user, viewable by all. Ladder is still FREE and non-Ticket players can still participate. It may take, however, as little as $5.95 to open a $Ticket account and enjoy an extra Ladder boost!

SEE YOU IN THE TOUNERY ROOMS HAVE FUN ON GC #1 FAMILY SITE GC JER LADDER PRIZES & 'POINTS' Posted by JudyForFun (VIP) 30 Jun 2005 8:33pm What a FANTASTIC incentive to encourage increased participation. It's obvious that a lot of time & thought went into developing this new Ladder 'program' for our benefit. However, in my (humble)opinion, $5 for the mini-tournaments is a bit steep....As I interpret it, it is per game, not cumulative...right? Regardless, I look forward to climbing the ladder again in July & months to come. TYVM for FUN games & a wonderfully managed & very creative game site. We'll be tuning the Ladder as we go Posted by webmaster 30 Jun 2005 9:40pm Listed Ladder Points for Tourneys & Mini-Tourneys represent our initial estimates - they may have to be tuned per game. For example, 5$Ticket games in Gin are far below average while same entry fee in Canasta is above average. However, average Ladder boost from mini-tourneys may be still equalized among the players within the game... Fantastic! Posted by (VIP) 2 Jul 2005 5:12pm Congratualtions on the advanced incentives to encourage more tournament play and create new opportunities at month end in case the top players don't play the last few days. Does that mean 1st is now 50 tix and second place is still 8 tix? If so, would you consider making the last few top ten spots more valuable instead of 1 tix and 1.5 tix. I suggest 10th-2 tix, 9th 3 tix etc so 2nd place is worth 10 tix and first whatever you want. Getting into the top ten is still very difficult and less than that is hardly a reward. ty Your new ladder points is a great move and adds a lot to the end results. Congratulations.

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.
