I recently timed out of a 9x9 ladder game and found I had lost my spot completely. Is this the ladder policy does anyone know?
(This was actually came about by taking myself off vacation in order to play a bot and forgot to put myself back on vacation…no intention to timeout.)
Yes you lose your spot but if you rejoin the ladder and you still have ongoing games then a win there will restore your position.
You have three chances to leap-frog back up thanks to those that challenged you.

Thanks Kosh. Thats obviously nowhere near as bad, I was a little lucky to have a chance to stay near the top end

and to think i literally did not rejoin just so it would not mess up the chance to be reinstated, i played out the two games and won both and it still says join… now i read you DO hit join (i just assume would mess it up) stupid, it should be automatic. its basically the only reason im here to play on ladders.

You seem to have already caught up in 9x9 but because of the misunderstanding if you rejoin the 19x19 ladder I can restore your previous rank for you.
