	In order to ensure a winner can be declared and the rankings can be finalized, all games in a season must end by the ending date, which is exactly 60 days after it began. If a game isn't finished when the season ends, ~~Warzone~~ will immediately end it. The winner will be determined by adding up how many armies each player controls on the [[map]], then adding in each player's income times two.

	On the first day of a season, every player will get 4 games. Every 4 days after that, one more game is added until all players have 20 games. If a player joins the season late or leaves it early, they are not guaranteed to get 20 games. However, the ladder will try to catch them up with the crowd.

If a player joins the season late or leaves it early, they are not guaranteed to get 20 games. However, the ladder will try to catch them up with the crowd.

	== ~~Rankings~~ ==		== Ratings ==
	The ~~rankings~~ are determined using ~~the same~~ ELO ~~scale that the existing~~ [[~~ladders~~]] ~~use~~, ~~with one small modification~~, ~~players~~ who play fewer than 20 games (due to leaving the ladder early or joining late) get a penalty of 65 rating points per game. It’s best to join the season before it starts and stay in it for the whole 60 days to ensure you do not receive a penalty. The penalty exists to ensure that players can't ~~get a~~ game ~~from~~ the system by intentionally joining the season late and riding to a high-rank by getting a few lucky games.
			Once you finish 7 games in a single season, you'll be awarded a rank.

			The ratings are determined using Bayesian ELO (Bayeselo). See [[Bayeselo]] for details about how this works and how to run your own simulations.

			Your rating will change based on the results of other player's games, too. For example, if you beat a player who ends up becoming the #1 player, you get the full results of beating the #1 player even if they were not #1 when you beat them.

	A player may only play on the Seasonal Ladder with one account per season. Violations will be punished with a suspension on all implicated accounts.		A player may only play on the Seasonal Ladder with one account per season. Violations will be punished with a suspension on all implicated accounts.

	Manipulation of the force-finish in the Seasonal Ladder is not allowed~~, and the use of vacations towards the end of a season leading to force-finish will be considered especially suspicious~~. Violations will be punished with a suspension. In egregious cases results may be modified, possibly resulting in the loss of games and/or trophies.
