RE: About the league...

I think it is all in the link I posted, but I will put it in here too.

There are 4 divisions (A-D) with 6-7 clans in each division. Clans that finish in the top 2 in their division are promoted to the next division in the next season. Bottom 2 are relegated. All new clans start in D and work their way up, so they are not playing the vets right away.

The clans compete in 11 formats, each one is a round robin tournament with 1 team per clan (so 6-7 teams). There are Six 1v1 templates, Three 2v2 templates, Two 3v3 templates. You can see the exact templates for this season here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CLtIe1TP-owIKQbf9Q-Gx6Bct9QJl7ZRMTFtzF3r6FU/edit#gid=655240736

Each season, the clans in division A vote on the templates for next season (1 vote per clan). Usually there are minor changes (for example, this season we added Europe Straight Round in the past they were both Weighted Random).

So when you make your roster, you will need to wait until templates are finalized. Each player may only participate in 4 formats (does not matter team size). So that means with 18 player slots (for the 11 formats), you MUST have 5 or more players to compete. You can have up to 18 players (each would only play a single slot).

As far as when, that is dependent on the current season. It could take a month for that to finish, so I am using this period to gauge interest. When the current league ends, we can submit and vote on new templates (this will take a couple weeks). Then ask for lineups (again another couple weeks). And make the sheets/tournaments (maybe another week).

So basically you are talking 2-3months from now starting league 7. But if clan leaders are quick and responsive with votes, rosters, etc it can start a bit faster.

Yeah Olympus will be taking part :)

Could you run through how it works for me, so do we have to have a person for the 1v1 group, 2 for the 2v2 etc, or do we just chose people each game?

There will be a series of simultaneous round robins. You'll need to provide teams for each template- so each person is dedicated to a template or set of templates and represents your clan team in that capacity.

TLW will be attending

"The clans compete in 11 formats, each one is a round robin tournament with 1 team per clan (so 6-7 teams). There are Six 1v1 templates, Three 2v2 templates, Two 3v3 templates. You can see the exact templates for this season here:"

Each player can compete in up to a maximum of 4 tournaments. So the clan leader makes a line up and assigns certain players to certain round robin tournaments. You give the line up to the league runners and they will invite your player to the tournament. Once he joins he gets his games and pre-designated scorekeepers will keep track of points...

All the league information is here or linked here. There shouldnt be more questions I dont think..... (I basically just read to you what you should have read yourself)

Hades: There will be 11 formats (like I said they may change slightly). You will have 18 player 'slots' for those 11 formats (since some are team games). Let's go through your steps as a clan manager:

1) sign up to play - going on now
2) give me a roster - anytime, but I suggest waiting until current season is done as someone may go inactive. This will be 5-18 players, whatever you will probably use
3) Give me lineup - not until templates are posted, then I will ask for lineup.

For #3, this is an example from Botanator (for BIA):

Strat ME - Botanator
Poland - Tartan
Greece - Botanator
Guiroma - Gajda
Battle Is - Tartan
Strat ME SR - Gajda

China - Drumming/Dragon
Guiroma - Piper/Big E
Szeuropa - Piper/Kkamill

EU 0% SR 4x4 - Botanator/Piper/Bigby
EU 0% WR 4x5 - Nordic/Bigby/Drumming

^Again, nobody can play more than 4 spots...so no name should appear more than 4 times in that example

I believe it was mentioned earlier that the clans that won their respective divisions would also get a vote on the templates. Is that still happening?

Question: can we ask anyone in our clans to play?

Beren - we thought about that last time, but then you run into issues with clans that are basically the same people running them (like Lynx/101st). We just did Division A last time. It would need to be changed by a vote of the committee if we wanted that.

BTW, the committee is:
ChrisCMU
Master Miyagi • apex
Apollo
[WM] ᵀᴴᴱAlterEgoist
Pushover

Not sure if Fridge (AlterEgoist) is going to help out again or not. If not, we may add someone else to the committee. The committe votes on things like suspending people for using alts/cheating, changing the rules, etc.

I would be willing to join the committe but I don't know if I am the best choice or if its right to have 3 masters on it.

SNinja will participate again. I will keep score for D if we end up moving there.

LEA would definitely like to participate.

Blitz will participate

[WM] are out next season.

REGL will take part in, I don't now if in group B or C, but we will :P
I don't mind helping with score for our group if needed.

By the way, I think that B/C groups had less teams and one in B is not joining so the promotion/relegations will cange at the end?

Yes, we will have to probably promote extra if we have empty slots

The G-spot will participate with twelve members at least, also proposition for the 3vs3

Question: In which division will we participate?

@Glamorous
You start at the lowest division and work your way up.... So that will probably be Group D or Group E?
