How to get a higher rank
To get a higher Espada rank, you've got to
1) Post here, notifying the admin
2) PM the person you want to challenge notifying you are challenging them; start the thread in position battles.
3) If challenged doesn't reply to PM within 48 hours or position battle, they lose place, unless they have valid reason.
4) Note: If you are a regular arrancar challenging for an Espada rank you HAVE to challenge the 10th Espada. Rank jumping is no longer allowed. As for other Espada you have to challenge the one directly above you
5) Also please take note of the rules in Position Battles area (specifically the fact someone can only be challenged once a week). If an arrancar already challenged the tenth espada then they can't be challenged until a week after their position battle ended
