Here are the first rules of ladder and picture of the creation interface
Servers 0=>50000 can be created by anyone with any rules

Nadeo may change these rules later.
Nadeo can also adapt ladder points limit of hosted servers.
When you name a server, you do a deposit in coppers. It is to limit the number of high ranked servers and to have a moderation tool in case of abuses.
If a host break the rules or have an inappropriate behavior, Nadeo will keep the coppers deposit and close the server.
When you decide to close your server by yourself, you get back your deposit.
if you have more than the maximum, you can enter but you will win no points
if you have less than minimum, you can not enter as player
For all the +50k servers :
- public server means that players and spectators don't have to enter a password to login.
- no guests lists system
- no kick or ban for bad reasons
- at least 6 spectator places for the servers between 40k and 80k.
Three changes for the +50K servers :
1. You can now open +50K servers with the following limits (the previous limits can still be chosen) :
- 0 to 60 000 Ladder points
- 20K / 70K LP
- 40K / 80K LP
- 60K / 90K LP
You have to respect the server rules of the maximum limit. For example, if you open a 60k/90k server, the rules of the 70k/90K servers have to be respected.
2. You can now run the 80K / 100K server Sunday from 15 GMT to 18 GMT.
3. The ladders points won on a Trackmania United Forever server are now multiplied by 1,5.
Some changes for the Tracks length of the +50k servers :
- 0k/60k : no minimum length required
- 20k/70k : length >= 20 seconds
- 40k/80k : length >= 30 seconds
- 60k/90k : length >= 45 seconds
- 80k/90k : length >= 45 seconds
Ladder rules have been edited on 2010/11/23:
-envimix tracks only allowed for 0/60k servers
-For RoC servers :
-> at least 4 rounds
-> tracks should become from different environments for the United servers
The RoC admins already knew these rules, so that's not a big change for them.
The ladders points won on a Trackmania United Forever server are now multiplied by 1,4.
Cheers,
Alinoa

FORMULA
Florent wrote:We just switched the ranking formula for the zones: countries and regions.
The new way to compute is to take into account the top three players of each country into account.
We have observed this formula and the results are interesting and change more often. The most important thing is that it focus more on some players.
So, here is the formula:
Country points = 0.5 * Country 1st points + 0.333 * Country 2nd points + 0.166 * Country 3rd points
The current ranking is:
1. Hungary [97448.00]
2. Germany [96916.88]
3. Greece [96303.99]
4. France [96195.15]
5. Poland [95435.46]
6. Spain [94827.27]
7. Netherlands [94156.59]
8. Austria [93842.63]
9. Italy [93190.56]
10. United States of America [93122.26]
And the top 3 of these countries are:
Hungary:
1 kajczy 98458.72
2 nagy_mester_b 97293.53
3 davsonic 94724.76
Germany:
1 andreas_hitz 97385.49
2 djkueken 96821.41
3 hubsi_gll 95702.01
Greece:
