Trial of Position
Ranks are achieved in SLP through a Trial
of Position.
Rules for a Trial of Position:
To be a valid Trial of Position there must be at least 3 members present; a
ranking officer of Star Colonel or higher to give the consent of the trail,
the person on trial who wishes to advance in rank, and at least one witness
to the trail.
Next step is the bidding process. The trialed must state what is the tonnage
of the BattleMech he/she wishes to use in the trail; this will set the starting
bid. Members present in the Trial of Position may bid if they are at the rank
of Star Commander or higher (But the trialed cannot pass the rank of the trailer).
When someone bids to trail, they are bidding on the tonnage of the Mech they
will use against the trailed. They try to bid a lower tonnage than everyone
else, but bid wisely, and while still making it challenging for the trailed
to advance in rank. No bid can fall below 35 tons than the starting bid. Once
the bidding is done, the lowest bidder gets to choose the map on which the trail
will take place.
Next is the trail. The trial will last 10 minutes. All witnesses to the trail
are to select a camera ship. At the end of the game the rank is determined by
the amount of kills.
The amount of kills earns the following ranks:

based upon your display of participation, skills, and leadership needed for
the rank you wish to advance too. You may also only advance one rank at a time.
If you fail to the fact that your ability to do your best was hindered (Like
lag (ping of 500+ for the most of the game), or interruption by family member,
ether party takes more than 25 seconds to enbter the map after launch.) you
may take your argument to the Khan or Keshik to be reviewed for a redo on your
ToP, however stuff like a bad mech setup is not an excuse. Witnesses present
will verify your argument to the Khan or Keshik.
