Dual Ladder update

Jun 26, 2012 Faille Corvelle link
This was mentioned in Woodlander's thread, but can we get the Dual Ladder (regularly) updated soon? I've been thinking of organizing something similar to Inevitable's [RED] Vendetta Cup, but using a swiss-draw for pairings, using the duel rating as the score method. Currently, I'd have to manually check everyone's rating individually, every round, and I really don't want to do that...

Even if the devs don't update the duel ladder, we can do this via a plugin using the API, you could have participants install a plugin which submits their duel ladder rating to you for sorting. Otherwise you're at the devs mercy entirely to get things done

Not unless you want the risk of people peeking inside the plugin and changing it to report false values.

A better plugin-based solution would be to have the plugin automatically pull the results from the website, not the players. More tricky to set up, but it would be trustworthy (barring bugs) and wouldn't require the participants to install anything, just the host. I doubt that an event requiring participants to install a special plugin would go over well.

It should be updated once a day from now on.
