But to answer your question, I believe @Bootie has the 2017 ladder showing right now. I believe I remember him saying he was going to leave it up a few weeks, then go back to showing the all time ladder. We probably won't see the results of the 2018 ladder until January, 2019.
It would be kind of nice if the staff could maintain both the all time ladder and the current year's ladder for us to look at throughout the year, but that may be too labor intensive. Dunno.
By the way, feel free to go ahead and post your victory over me in the ladder section. Just copy/paste the format from someone else's post and change the info. I take my ass whuppins like a man. You better believe I'll post it if I win our other game. ;-)
The ladder is always up and running. Just record games whenever you have completed them. The date you post the result to forum determines what year it will be a part of. Simples.
