||||
|
||||
| How do the ladders work? They work exactly how you would think a ladder would work; each team is ranked based on the number of XP points they have earned. The teams with the most points, are the one's at the top of the leaderboard. The only way you can work your way up the leaderboard is by playing a lot of matches and playing good teams, so get challenging! |
||||
|
||||
| What are XP points? XP points are a way for each team to be ranked, according to how good they are. Each time a team wins a match, they are given XP points depending on what level they are and what level their opponent is. Teams that play higher ranked teams will receive more points for winning rather than playing teams that are not as good. To find your team at the top of the ladder, play high ranked teams and play often! |
||||
|
||||
| How do I create my own team? To create your own team, you first have to select the ladder that you would like to compete on. Then click the 'Join' tab, fill out the information and then invite your friends to join your team! Each ladder you want to participate on you have to create a new team for, and all of your teams will be listed on your profile! You may, of course, choose to have exactly the same team name on each ladder that you wish to participate in. When joining a singles ladder it is in fact your member username that is used. |
||||
|
||||

||||
| What are Seasons? Each game ladder is run over what we call a Season. The seasons are nearly always 2 months in duration and the specific dates are mentioned in the ladder details. Each ladder is reset when a Season ends. |
||||
|
||||
| What is a Tournament? A tournament is a competition set up in the form of brackets, and teams play each other to advance to the next round. A tournament will be held after every season for each game for the top clans to compete in so we can find out what team was the best! Tournaments can have slots from 4 teams to 32 teams depending on the popularity of the game. 360Battles will also be holding special tournaments where any team can sign up for and some will include cash prizes. |
||||
|
||||
| How do I sign up for a Tournament? For the tournaments that are run where any team can sign up, you click on the 'Tournaments' tab on the left side of the screen to view all of the open tournaments. The tournaments that are run for the teams that were top on a ladder for a season will automatically be placed in the tournament to compete. |
||||
|
||||
| Are there Tournaments after every season? Yes, if the ladder is popular, after each season for every game on 360Battles there is a tournament played to find out the champion. Most of these tournaments will include a prize for the winner, so make sure you compete and play as much as possible. |

| What is my War Light? Your War Light can be Green or Red. When you enable your War Light, it turns Green and you are effectively telling everyother team on that ladder that you are ready for an instant match within the next couple of hours. This 'Intent to Battle Now' is shown on the Ladder Rankings page (it shows up as a little Tank!) and also teams can search for other teams who are looking for an instant match on any ladder. You have a War Light for every team you have on the site. This can be enabled by simply clicking on the War Light icon on your Team Profile page or by filling out the War Light details in the page where you Edit your Team Info. Should your position change and you are no longer able to play an instant match, you should switch your War Light back off! |

| How does the Match Finder work? To find all clans looking to have a match on a specific day, search that specific ladder and date. The match finder will show all the teams that scheduled a match finder and you will have the option to accept one of those matches. To create your own match, fill out the forum below on that page and your match will be shown above. It's a blind match finder so you don't know who your going to play! |
