First, I'd like to thank Spadge for allowing me to post this on the forums. Thank you.

So, just last night, LiveAssault (http://liveassault.com) just started it's brand new Worms ladder for the Xbox Live Arcade. You can look at it HERE (http://arcade.liveassault.com/standings.php?ladder[id]=14)

It's not a singles ladder though, it is a doubles ladder, so you will have to find a partner. Worms HD for XBLA doesn't provide a teams option, so be sure to read the rules right HERE (http://www.liveassault.com/arcade/rules.php?rules[ladderid]=14) on how that will work.

So why would you want to come and participate? Well the two winners of this ladder, will each receive a 1600 Microsoft Point Card! It does not cost anything, just go sign up for free and join the ladder and start competing!

I'm already on there, just hit me and others up for a match!

LiveAssault also offers other ladders, which the "big" ones, players will get awarded personalized Acrylic trophies, Sigofthe week contests, where LA gives a 1600 MS Point card away EVERY week for the best sig, LA Radio where there's weekly gaming shows and clan commercial giveaways, also including interviewing guest celebs (Tom Salta, GRAW and GRAW 2 music composer, etc.), and much more.

When does it end?

Any player that drops will not be permitted to re-enter the match until after the round has ended and a friend invite has been sent indicating it is safe to re-enter the match. Remember DO NOT re-enter a match until you receive an invite back into the room If a player enters the match before the round has ended, it will result in a loss of a round for the offending team.

Worms doesn't allow you to re-enter a match if you drop out. That part of rule 10 should be removed.

Yeah, duhh :P What're you doing coming on here with a name like that, anyway? Does it make the contest more official?

Those are just the standard rules across all ladders.

I couldn't think of anything else. And since I like the XBLA game Worms, I thought it fit well.

Also, we have a couple teams that have put invalid Xbox Live gamertags. That makes you ineligible, so be sure enter them correctly.

How about your real name? That's an easy one that requires no effort.

*****ing aside, thanks for letting us know about this competition. I'm happy to hear the game's being taken this seriously. My concern about your name is that should you wish to become a regular here, you won't have a friendly identity we can refer to and put in our joke punchlines.

Also the game isn't called "Worms HD", is it?

(@ worMatty, I couldn't be bothered to quote) Yeah, exacly, like KRuD here who's just posted :p

anyway, you're not really that much better, worMatty :p

How about your real name? That's an easy one that requires no effort.
Why yes; because I'm sure your name really is Wormatty.

Uhhhh he never said or implied that, just that if you can't think any good nickname, then just stick with your real name.

Thanks, Angel.

do any clans wanna challenge us? our clan is Worms Gods id #45. Just want to play. Were the first ranked clan 1-0

Hmm, all this talk gives me the idea of resurrecting my old shambolic clan.

Please learn how to spell. But no, I would not like to challenge your clan.

Whoah there, Fatalhitx. Your elitemeter is a bit too sensitive. Check out boiko's post again and you'll find there are no spelling mistakes.

Hey I signed up to the site but it looks so complicated?

No, not really.

Basically you've got your Worms Doubles ladder with, as of right now, 11 teams signed up.

To try and get a match, all you do is click on a team and it will take you to their team page. There you will see all of their information, and also on the top, a challenge button. When you use that to challenge them, that team will get a challenge ticket on their team page that they will have to accept, and they will also get an email notifying them they got a challenge.

But, that's not the best thing to do. Best thing to do, to get a match in any ladder, is use the contact information they give you on the team pages and contact them through either email (if provided), instant messenger (if provided), or Xbox Live. From there, just work out a match following the Worms Doubles guidelines with the opponent.

You'll still have to send a challenge though remember, that's how the ladder records your match if you win or lose.
