For those interested in competitive multiplayer games on a more formal and organized level there is an official site for ranked matches and some unofficial options that are made available by the Wesnoth Community. Have a look to see if anything fits your shoe, and please help us keep the list updated by adding/removing alternatives.

== Official ranked site ==

*[https://tournament.wesnoth.org Tournament Manager]
:Ranking uses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system#Mathematical_details Fide Elo System]

:Matches can be played with Ladder Era, Ranked Era or Default Era.

Matches are reported automatically as the site is integrated with wesnoth ecosystem. Provided that the system is able to detect clear victory conditions (leaderkill, surrender) the winner and loser will be assigned automatically, in other cases players need to confirm victory or defeat.

In any case the system is detecting automatically map, factions and sides, collecting all information associated to the matches and allowing players to check several statistics both global or specific for the selected player.

In order to play ranked matches the users must login to the site using their wesnoth forum account and enable ranked matches in their player profile to acknowledge for ranked playing. Game setup must include Ranked add on by Hejnewar for the system to detect it as a valid ranked match.

Ranked site also support for hosting tournaments both for ranked and not ranked matches, check [https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=60519 Tournament Manager] for details.

== Notes about possible cheating ==

=== The Facts ===
The following is true for all games that are played remotely & multiplayer in Wesnoth.

There is currently ''no method'' to ''guarantee'' that a persons doesn't cheat in multiplayer. Some of the more obvious ways to cheat are:
* The editing of save files, granted they're used to load a game.
* Observing the opponent with another instance of Wesnoth running, which of course only matters if you play with fog and also allow observers into the game. (Or if you save the game and reload it on a local instance to get vision.)
* Creating and using a version of the game that gives ''any'' kind of imaginable noticeable and unnoticeable advantages (e.g. by having an AI assist in your decision making). Since the project is open source this only requires some programming skills and the will, as there is currently no way for a normal and official version of the game to know for sure that it's connected to another official version.

Knowing this makes you able to take it into account when participating in or arranging competitive events. As explained, the system as it is today doesn't offer a 100% certainty that your opponent(s) don't cheat. With that said it's perhaps also true that most players you'll come across don't have the skills to deal with the more advanced ways of cheating, and it might be the case that most cheaters are easily discovered if you watch a replay, know the rules of the game and have a decent idea of what the opponent is up to on the map. After all, the game math is known by all of us and all large deviations will get noticed.

=== Effects on competitive play ===
It's hard to know the exact effects that these kinds of problems have on the competitive gaming. For some players this is more than enough to not engage in competitions. For others it doesn't matter, since they themselves don't cheat and trust that most players don't. There are only two sure and interlinked things we can say about the phenomenon:

* There are a few who cheat.
* A great majority doesn't.

The logic behind those statements lead us to the conclusion that competitive gaming is fully possible in Wesnoth and that it should be considered a serious option by those interested in it. Most games will be legit because of the following reasons:

*Discovery - The most common ways of cheating can be spotted and/or prevented.

*Knowledge - A really small minority of the players have the knowledge ''and'' will to alter the source code in order to cheat.

*Your psychology - If you stumble across a cheater and don't discover her/him, it's not certain that this will really affect you since you're not aware that they cheated.

*Cheaters' psychology - There are very few people that play a game for a long time if they're in the need to always cheat when things get rough. Their victory is almost a paradox - they cheat to win, but know them self that they didn't. Most cheaters quit the game pretty fast because of that and other self-evident psychological facts.

*Effect - Even if you don't discover cheaters the number of times you'll play against them are relatively limited, making their overall impact on your gaming experience small or non-existent in the long run.

=== Resolving Cheating Disputes ===
These are two suggested actions:

1) Submit your replay to the administrator of the competitive framework (ladder or tournament admin, etc).
If an RNG cheat was used, speak with Dave about implementing the anti-cheat code.
2) If your replay is different from your rivals:
One of you altered a replay, and its impossible to know who. As the admins of the competitive framework can not tell for sure who is being honest in this case, they can simply record that the game's winner was disputed by both parties. While this gets you nothing as the victim, anyone cheating in this manner more than once will effectively be "caught". As his or her disputes pile up no one will accept matches with them. If the competitive framework uses some kind of identification the cheater will have to create a new account and spend spend time on getting their rating back.
3) Don't make a mess if you can avoid it: If this has only happened to you once it might be an idea to just ignore it as it may not be worth all the hassle, depending on the specifics in the case.

==== What not to do ====
If you ''know'' your opponent has cheated please make sure that you really have evidence that can prove it 100% before claiming that you ''know'' that he/she did. Keep in mind that real evidence would ''prove'' something. If, for example, both of you have a different version of the save file there is no way to prove which one of you faked his/her, hence, the files are not proof of who the cheater is - they only prove that there is one.

Don't ever give an impression about you ''knowing'' the facts if you can't prove them! It matters a lot what words you use since the allegations are very serious and could destroy a player's reputation which he/she has invested a great amount of time in building within the community.

====Reasonable questioning====
In most competitive frameworks you are probably entitled to question something which you don't fully understand, in order to learn more about it, or something which seems odd and could possibly be a bug and/or a cheat. If you suspect that there is something strange going on then please start by talking with the person you suspect is cheating, if there is one. If the answer doesn't calm you down or you get even more suspicious and still don't understand what's going on, you would be best of contacting the admin/mods for the competitive framework you participate in, if any. If the framework is ''the Ladder of Wesnoth'', then please ''don't'' post in the Wesnoth forum about it.

If you're not participating in a competitive framework and just played a casual game then you could post your questions in the official Wesnoth forum along with as much info as possible and preferably a replay.

Remember that if you go public with your questioning, wherever you do it, you're expected to do it like an adult and in a mature manner. Try to be objective and calm, and present your case and thoughts in a way which doesn't insult or in any other way harm the supposed cheater. If you just had a fight with the person it is always a very bad idea to post right away. It could perhaps also be a good idea to not mention the other player's name until some kind of conclusion had been reached ''if'' keeping that player anonymous would help protect his/her integrity. After all, it can't be very pleasant to be accused of something in the open.

Keep in mind that there is no "Wesnoth Court Room" and that nobody is expected to deal with your problems. Players who choose to discuss the matter with you do it as representatives of them self and ''there are no official rulers'', unless of course, this all happens in a competitive framework which happens to have some. You ask for help to get more clarity into what has happened. Some times the answers will be of help, other times they won't.

====Warning====
If English is not your native tongue and you want to express complicated arguments or be sure to be understood correctly but feel uncomfortable using the English language please ask a friend to help you write it all up in proper English.

Finally we'd like to warn you once more about the act of accusation: For many people it is ''very'' stigmatizing and unsettling to be accused, and would maybe become even more so if the person happened to be innocent. Please think things through thoroughly before presenting an accusation of something. Especially what language you use, what you claim, where and why.

Also understand that players who have been around for longer than yourself will ''usually'' have much greater credibility than you, especially if they've been a part of the Wesnoth community for several years.

With all this said, there ''can'' still arise situations that need the extra attention and that a healthy questioning could help resolve. Questioning something is, if done in a proper way, nothing dangerous or harmful at all. Done wrong however it could start tearing apart the community piece by piece. Keep that in mind of moderators react.

Clmates: Informaciín on de la página oficial de partidas clasificadas

{{Translations}}

Para aquellos que estén interesados en partidas competitivas multijugador a un nivel más formal y organizado existe una página oficial para partidas puntuadas y algunas opciones no oficiales creadas por la comunidad Wesnoth. Echa un vistazo para ver si alguna se ajusta a tus necesidades y, por favor, ayudanos a mantener esta lista actualizada.

== Página oficial para partidas puntuadas ==

*[https://tournament.wesnoth.org Tournament Manager]
:La clasificación esta basada en [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system#Mathematical_details El sistema EDO Fide]

:Las partidas se pueden jugad con las eras Ladder, Ranked o la era por Defecto.

Las partidas se informan automáticamente ya que la página esta integrada en el ecosistema de wesnoth. Si el sistema detecta condiciones claras de victoria (muerte del lider o rendición), el ganador y el perdedor se asignan automáticamente. En el resto de casos los jugadores deben confirmar la victoria o la derrota.

En cualquier caso, el sistema detecta automáticamente el mapa, las facciones, los lados de cada jugador, recopilando toda la información asociada a las partidas, lo que permite a los jugadores disponer de información estadística tanto global como particular de cada jugador.

Para jugar partidas puntuadas los usuarios deben primero acceder a la pagina usando su usuario del foro de wesnoth y activar las partidas puntuadas en su perfil de usuario para aceptar conscientemente la participación en partidas puntuadas. Para crear partidas puntuadas se debe activar el complemento Ranked creado por Hejnewar para que el sistema pueda reconocer que los jugadores quieren jugar partida puntuada y procesar automáticamente la partida.

La página también permite la creación de torneos tanto puntuados como informales, puedes tener mas información en [https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=60519] .

== Clasificaciones ==

== Eventos periódicos ==

Ninguno en estos momentos.

== Trampas ==

=== Los hechos ===

Actualmente no existe ningún método para garantizar que un jugador no está haciendo trampas en el modo multijugador. Esto es cierto para todas las partidas multijugador jugadas de forma remota. Algunos de los métodos más obvios para hacer trampas son:

* La edición de los archivos salvados.
* Expiar al oponente con otra instancia de ejecución de Wesnoth. Esto sólo afectaría en los casos en los que se juega con niebla de guerra y se permiten observadores en la partida.
* Expiar al oponente salvando la partida y recargándola en otra instancia de ejecución de Wesnoth.
* Creando y usando una versión del juego que dé cualquier clase de ventaja, perceptible o no (por ejemplo, permitiendo usar el sistema de inteligencia artificial en la toma de decisiones). Debido a que el proyecto es de código abierto, hacerlo sólo requiere ciertos conocimientos de programación y la voluntad de hacerlo. Actualmente no hay forma de que una versión oficial del juego sepa con seguridad que está conectada con otra versión oficial.

Saber esto te permitirá tenerlo en cuenta a la hora de participar u organizar competiciones. Como ya se ha explicado, tal como está diseñado el sistema actualmente no se puede garantizar que un determinado oponente no hace trampas. Dicho esto, también es cierto que la inmensa mayoría de los jugadores que te encontrarás no tienen las habilidades para llevar a cabo las formas más elaboradas de hacer trampas. Por otra parte, la mayoría de los tramposos quedarán al descubierto simplemente viendo la repetición de la partida, conociendo las reglas del juego y teniendo una idea clara de quien es tu oponente. Después de todo, las reglas del juego son conocidas por todos y pronto se notarán las grandes desviaciones.

=== Consecuencias ===

Es difícil saber exactamente que efectos pueden tener este tipo de problemas en las competiciones. Para algunos jugadores esto es más que suficiente para no participar en competiciones. Para otros no importa tanto ya que confian que, como ellos mismos, el resto de participantes tampoco hagan trampas. Hay dos cosas ciertas y relacionadas que se pueden decir acerca de este fenómeno:

* Hay algún que otro tramposo
* La gran mayoría juega sin trampas

Estás dos afirmaciones nos permiten llegar a la conclusión de que las competiciones son perfectamente posibles en Wesnoth y que deben de ser consideradas una opción seria por los interesados en este modo de juego. La mayoría de las partidas serán fiables debido a las siguientes razones:

* Detección - Las formas más comunes de hacer trampas pueden ser señaladas y prevenidas.

* Desconocimiento - Una pequeña minoría de jugadores tienen los conocimientos y las ganas suficientes para cambiar el código fuente para hacer trampas.

* Factor sicológico propio - Si tropiezas con un tramposo y no lo llegas a descubrir, no se puede considerar del todo cierto que te afecte ya que no estás siendo consciente de que te están haciendo trampas.

* Factor sicológico del tramposo - Hay muy poca gente que juegue a un juego durante mucho tiempo si necesita hacer trampas cada vez que las cosas se ponen difíciles. Su victoría sería paradójica: está haciendo trampas para ganar pero al mismo tiempo sabe que no ha ganado. La mayoría de los tramposos renuncian al juego rápidamente por esta y otras razones evidentes para sí mismos.

* Efecto limitado - Incluso si no llegas a descubrir a los tramposos, el número de veces que jugarás contra alguno será limitado, haciendo que el efecto global de las trampas en tu experiencia de juego a la larga sea muy pequeño o casi inexistente.

=== Resolución de disputas ===

Si te ves envuelto en una disputa con otro jugador debido a que te han hecho trampas, es recomendable:

1) Envíar la repetición de la partida al administrador de la competición (gestor del torneo o de la clasificación, etc).

2) Si tu repetición es diferente a la de tu rival, uno de los dos habrá alterado la repetición y será imposible determinar cual de los dos ha sido. Como los administradores de la competición no pueden saber con seguridad quien es el tramposo, simplemente registrarán que el ganador definitivo de la partida está en disputa. Aunque esto no aporte nada a la víctima, si el tramposo vuelve a hacer trampas se le atrapará. Nadie querrá jugar con alguien a quien se le acumulan las disputas. Si la competición usa algún tipo de identificación, el tramposo deberá crear una nueva cuenta y gastar otra vez su tiempo en alcanzar la puntuación que tenía de nuevo.

3) No te metas en líos si puedes evitarlos. Si sólo te ha sucedido una vez puede ser buena idea ignorarlo. Dependiendo de cada situación específica, puede que no valga la pena meterse en problemas.

==== Qué no hacer ====

Si ''sabes'' que tu rival ha hecho trampas, por favor, asegurate de que tienes pruebas reales que demuestren al 100% que es así antes de acusar a nadie de tramposo. Ten en cuenta que una prueba real debería ''demostrar'' algo. Si, por ejemplo, ambos tenéis una versión diferente del archivo de repetición no existe manera de probar quien ha hecho trampas, por lo tanto, las repeticiones no demuestran quien es el tramposo, sólo demuestran que uno de los dos lo es.

¡No pretendas tener la razón si no tienes pruebas de ello! Son muy impotantes las palabras que se emplean ya que las acusaciones son muy graves y podrías destruir la reputación que un jugador se ha ganado ante la comunidad invertiendo una gran cantidad de tiempo.

==== Dudas razonables ====

En la mayoría de las competiciones puedes preguntar legítimamente acerca de cosas que no entiendes del todo, para aprender más sobre esa cuestión, o acerca de algo que parece extraño y que podría ser un error o quizás una trampa. Si sospechas que algo extraño está pasando, empieza por hablar con la persona de la cual sospechas que hace trampas. Si la respuesta no te tranquiliza o incluso te reafirma en tus sospechas sin que comprendas que puede estar pasando, deberías contactar con el administrador de la competición en la que participas, si lo hay. Si la competición es la [http://wiki.wesnoth.org/index.php?title=Competitive_Gaming/es#Clasificaciones ''Clasificación Wesnoth''], por favor no escribas en los foros de Wesnoth.

Si no estás participando en ninguna competición y tan sólo te encuentras jugando una partida informal entonces podrías plantear tus preguntas en el foro oficial de Wesnoth acompañadas de tanta información como te sea posible y, si fuera posible, el archivo de la repetición.

Recuerda que si planteas públicamente tus preguntas, sea donde sea, se espera de ti que lo hagas como lo haría un adulto de forma madura. Intenta ser objetivo, mantente sereno presentando tu caso y tus sospechas de forma que no insultes o hieras de alguna forma al presunto tramposo. Es mala idea escribir inmediatamente después de tener una discusión con alguien. Suele ser una buena idea no citar ningún nombre de usuario hasta que se haya llegado a algún tipo de conclusión definitiva para ayudar a proteger la integridad de tu oponente. Después de todo, no debe de ser muy agradable ser acusado abiertamente de hacer trampas.

Ten en cuenta que no existe una "Corte de Justicia de Wenoth" y que nadie está obligado a tratar tus problemas. No existen legisladores oficiales en el juego. Los jugadores que accedan a discutir el caso contigo lo hacen en la única representación de sí mismos, excepto en el que caso de que los acontecimientos ocurran en el contexto de una competición que cuente con alguna clase de administrador. Cuando pides ayuda para aclarar unos determinados hechos, en ocasiones las respuestas serán de ayuda, y en ocasiones no lo serán.

==== Notas finales ====

Si no dominas el inglés y necesitas exponer argumentos complicados o estar seguro de que te comprendan adecuadamente, pídele ayuda a algún amigo capaz de expresarse apropiadamente para que te ayude a describir tu caso en un inglés correcto.

Finalmente nos gustaría advertirte una vez más sobre el acto de la acusación: para mucha gente conlleva un gran estigma y supone un gran transtorno ser acusado, y será incluso peor si dicha persona resulta ser inocente. Piensa dos veces las cosas antes de presentar una acusación. Especialmente tus expresiones, qué estas diciendo, dónde y por qué.

Entiende que los jugadores que participan desde hace mucho tiempo generalmente tendrán más credibilidad que tú, especialmente si han sido parte de la comunidad Wesnoth desde hace años.

Con todo lo dicho, todavía pueden surgir situaciones que necesiten una atención especial y que un sano planteamiento pueda ayudar a resolver. Cuestionar algo no es, si se hace de la manera adecuada, nada dañido en absoluto. Sin embargo, hacerlo mal podría terminar por desgarrar a la comunidad pieza a pieza. Tenlo en cuenta ante las reacciones de los moderadores.
