 Ladder logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ladder logic is useful for simple but critical control systems, or for reworking old hardwired relay circuits.
As each of the lines (or rungs) are evaluated the output coil of a rung may feed into the next stage of the ladder as an input.
Ladder notation is best suited to control problems where only binary variables are required and where interlocking and sequencing of binary is the primary control problem.

 Links Golf Community Ladder FAQ
Most matches are not scheduled at all but if you want to directly challenge the person in the rung directly above you you can go to the Leaderboard for the ladder, and click on their name to send them an e-mail where you can suggest a day/time to play.
Once a player hasn't played a match beyond the long-term inactivity parameter they shall be removed from the regular active section of the leaderboard and dropped to the bottom rung of the ladder.
The reason for this mainly is for the start of a ladder that if you are one of the first ones to join it so you enter near the top of the ladder your personal bests aren't set from something that is just artificially high from joining.
