After teams have registered their team, they may “play on” to the ladder at any time. This allows teams to “earn” their way onto the ladder at the right level for them by challenging other teams already on the ladder. Please follow these steps.

1. Ensure that you have a minimum of 5 riders registered on your roster.
2. Create a post in #play-on, tagging @race committee informing them that you are ready to enter the ladder.
3. Once Race Committee have approved you will be “shadow ranked”, where you will be assigned a rank on the ladder and be able to challenge teams within your challenge range above. During this time you can only challenge, and not be challenged. Note: Ranking happens automatically at midnight each night (UTC), so check back the following day to see where you are ranked and who you can challenge.
4. If you win your play on race, you’ll enter the ladder above the team you just played, if you fail to win you’ll need to challenge again until you win your place in the league.
5. If you fail to win 3 consecutive Play On races, you may ask race control to add you to ladder anyway, please go back to your original Play On thread and tag race control with this request.

Note: All play on races take place under identical rules to all other ladder races, including any special events or themes that might be in place at that time.
