League Rules

Ok, I'm still in the process of putting the rules in place, so to get things rolling here's the important parts. If in doubt about anything not covered here for Thursday, check with your DC (birddog or ghost) and check out our standard inf ladder rules (for things like server selection etc)

Please feel free to give your input on things you'd like to see that I don't have covered here. We are doing this for the community and I will listen to all suggestions seriously. From the feedback I've heard the general consensus is shorter is better. So the biggest change from standard TWL inf ladder setup is only 1 map.

____________________________________

- Regular season will be an 8 weeks

- After 8 weeks, qualified teams will move into the playoffs

- Match format will be 1 map, first to 7 each side. Total the points for a winner

- In the event of a tie, teams will be returned to their original side and play first to 4 then switch and play first to 4 again. Total points wins the Overtime. If tied again, repeat until a winner is determined.

- Default TWL_inf.cfg will be required. The only exception to that is the scorelimit needs to be 8 instead of 6.

- The default time is Thursdays at 9pm est. Both teams may agree to reschedule anytime from Tuesday of that week until Sunday but your DC (birddog or ghost) MUST be informed of the change.

- Server information needs to be posted in match comms at least 24 hours before match time. If a server cannot be decided upon, home team's server will be used for the first half, and the away team's server will be used for the second half.

- Home team chooses what side they wish to start on.

- The match will be 5v5. All players must be on the roster by Tuesday of that week to be eligible for the match. We will be flexible on this for pre-season.

- All 5 players MUST have demos.

Hopefully this will get us started. I still plan on having them up quickly though.

how long is the pre-season?

3 weeks to work out the kinks.

I dont see a submite result bottom, where can we do this after our match on thursday?

Is pre-season really gunna count?
If so we might as well just start huh?

Preseason will not count.
Start date? I want to kick things off Thursday - March 6th.
The start date was noted in a thread at least a week ago.

I suggest each team in the League check their roster pages for opponents and dates.


Match reporting?
You should see a button for "Admin SoF2 League" on your roster page or something similar for the Ladders - IF you're a captain or team founder. This will let you report. Bear in mind - winners AND losers can report League match results. So at the conclusion of a match talk to the other team's captain(s) and determine which of you will report. If you have problems contact your Conference Coordinator or myself.

if you are taking suggestions, i would like to suggest an extension of the length of the season. seems that 8 weeks is a bit short. doesn't give us enough time to build up rivalries and play a team a second time, ya know? it would be cool if we had a chance to redeem ourselves if we lost against someone earlier in the season.

Good point.

The only drawback is the # of maps currently in use on the Ladder. If there are more than 8 then yes we can do that but not all maps included with the game and subsequent patchess are suited for 5 on 5 action.

Hehe if pre-season doesnt count how come I have a loss on my record?
Damn I took yer word for it and played some 2nd string players so they would have a chance to play and I now get to start out with a loss

the records will be wiped before regular season

So I guess it doesn't really matter being pre-season but how come over half the league didnt post yesterdays match results? Even see several of last weeks matches unreported

This is really a fun way to play sof2. I wish I could play a match every night.
Just had my first match last night and WOW it rocket my world... But +Mc+ did not win, but we learned a lot. I hope to play you guys soon.Keep it real

Hey Dinamo, I posted on ur forums a while back about this. Could you have some1 unban me from ur server?
I tk'd, mostly in retaliation of some1 who was tk'ing, and Dots or w/e his name is said he'd unban me, but hasn't
This isn't the best place for this, but i'm too lazy to sign up for ur new forums again hehe. I will in the near future though if I'm still banned.
Thx and yes, matches are MUCH funner than pubs. Good stuff.
