Will I lose my elo rating in the ladder if I leave the ladder?

No, your elo rating, loses and wins will return if you re-join a ladder. This prevents players with a poor elo rating, leaving ladder and then re-joining immediately to improve their elo rating.

How much will my elo rating change if I challenge this player?

It depends - Elo Rating is based on both of your elo ratings at the time of the game. So if you beat someone with a higher rank than you then you will gain more than if you beat someone with a lower elo rating than you. For your reference you can use the Elo Rating Calculator.

What is a league?

Players/teams sign up for a league, then once ready an admin will start the league and split competitors into groups. Each competitor will play each player/team in their group.

What are seasons?

Seasons are linked together leagues. If you have played in a previous season, then your performance will affect your group in the new league. Top players/teams of each group will move up a group and bottom players/teams of each group will move down. New players/teams (those who were not in previous season) will be allocated to a group randomly.

What is the knockout stage of a league?

Some leagues may have a knockout stage. The knockout stage takes the top 2 players/teams from each group (after all matches have been played) and puts them against each other in the same format as a single elimination tournament. Thus an overall winner of the league is found.
