The GC Ladder is broken. There is far too much importance placed on games played at the end of the month. This would be like the NFL counting end of regular season games as 4 wins instead of 1. Or Jim Mahan beating Erik Locke 2 games on July 31 and being crowned national ACC cribbage champion for the season. In July I believe PeterPel didn't play a game until July 28 or so and still claimed top ladder prize for July. I understand GC wants EVERYONE to feel like they have a chance in the ladder. The down side is regular players (like me) are "penalized" (or at least not rewarded) for doing well earlier in the month.

Even worse for UK players, the 5+ hours time difference we have little or no chance.

I went back and checked. I played well over 300 games/tourneys in July. There was a week or 2 where I didn't play many. But I also agree with you about how the ladder points are awarded.

Apologies Peter. Shows my age perhaps as I did not remember you playing for most of July up until the very end. In any event for the sake of Game Colony and promoting more play, ladder points earned June 3 should count as much as a game played June 29.

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.
