Editing Leagues

Todo
* A calendar would be cool
* Some additional background info on the leagues (maybe some lore) to make the descriptions more interesting and less repetitive to read, currently its just a pure knowledge dump.
* Add more links.

The leagues and ladders of Darkwind are the ultimate way to compete and test your skills, afterall anyone can get lucky and win a single event, but only the most persistant and skilled players can prevail and rise to the top of the leagues!

League winners recieve a fair amount of cash, quite a bit of fame and of course bragging rights.

The current league title holders can display their league [[Badges|badge]] on their car in events. (this is done from under ''My Gang -> Edit Settings -> Decal to use on your cars in town events'')

== Somerset four-monthly Leagues ==
These are the main Somerset [[Race|Race]], [[Death Race|Death Race]] and [[Arena Combat|Combat]] leagues, league events spawn every 15 minutes (with 45 minutes between each event of the same type) the events can only take place on [[Tracks|tracks in somerset]] and all use some [[Stock Cars|stock cars]].

== Ladders ==

The Evan [[Race|Race]], [[Death Race|Death Race]] and [[Arena Combat|Combat]] Ladders run for 12 weeks.
Events are 1v1 player [[Custom Events|custom events]] where the challenger can choose the track (or arena for combats) and [[Stock Cars|stock cars]] to use. The challengee can then choose to either accept or deny the challenge.
In each ladder match the winner takes a certain amount of points from the loser depending on the difference in their current ladder scores. If a high-ranked player defeats a lower ranked player then they would get less points than the lower ranked player would if they had how.
