or have one last bigger group with quicker autoboot setthing

Also, if enough people show more interest, you could just make another group starting at the bottom.

Thanks for these suggestions they are helpful. So far my thinking is along the lines of BlueMonkey's. Hopefully the season won't take too long and I am hoping there will be enough new entrants to add a Group D (or maybe more than that) to season 2. Orange will be at the top of that list.

The best of D would then be promoted to C for Season 3 and be replaced by the losers of C. The climb for newcomers might get longer, but that is part of the fun. New superstars will rocket up the charts to the relief of the average players in the lower groups.

The more people that want to join this, the better it will work. Everyone will eventually find their level of competition and can shoot for climbing up to that next Group. Eventually, if the numbers warrant and there are several groups, we could enlarge the A group to add to the intrigue of the elite round robins.

i thought it was going to be a 6 ffa not 1v1.

Nope. See point 1 in original post.

i wood like to be in this! good idea too

im in, sounds fun and much more competitive

Im in, sounds awesome!

I'm interested.

I'd like in. Thanks.

I'd like to join.

The League's season 1 is underway! Three round-robin tournaments with 6 players each have begun and will determine the first hierarchy of Groups (A, B and C) of season 2, as explained above.

Orange, Soccerdudemike, GameWorldLeader, Nighthawk30, Zerbi, Aper and bore: since you have all responded early, I am proposing that you will be group D in season 2. Even though you are a part of season 2, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't get started early, so I am proposing to get you started shortly (perhaps in a day or two). I want to give an opportunity for feedback first.

Also, I wanted to put out my proposal for comment on the structure for season 2. What I have in mind so far, at the end of season 2, is to promote the top 3 from groups B, C and D (to A, B and C respectively) and to relegate the bottom three of groups A, B and C (to B, C and D respectively). Group D, it appears, may have 7 participants. By the time we are ready for season 3, we will hopefully have enough for a group E.

For those of you who continue to express interest, you may have to wait until season 3, but hopefully with the format of smaller round robins, 3 day time limits, and with two games at a time for each player, the wait won't be too long between seasons.

Comments?

sounds great but i think only 2 should be promoted/relegated from every group

I agree with thesafari, and then the 2 middle just stay.

Agree with the 2 above me, top 2 get promoted, bottom 2 get relegated, middle 2 stay. Should work very well

I'll be happy to go with the majority view on this issue.

Also, could you post the Groups here?

Domenico: Yes. I will post results and new groupings here as soon as the round-robins are over. Here are links to the current matches:

This tourney had some pretty bad luck for me so far :/

Group D is underway with a head start in Season 2:
