Tier 1 = top 8 points total teams
Tier 2 = 9-16 points total teams
Tier 3 = 17-~ teams left*
Each Tier represents a playoff spot. Teams are fighting each week to climb as high as possible in the tiers to secure a playoff spot. The higher you climb during the regular season, the tougher your opponent. Climb too high, and the system will adjust your team, via rankings, to find more suitable opponents. Basically, you can play up to you potential and face teams with the same "talent" or "skill".
* if tier 3 has 32 or more teams, top 16 to playoffs. if less than 32 teams, top 8 to playoffs.
League highlights:
- Tiers are fluid, record/points determines week to week where you are ranked.
- Results and tier standing determines who you play the next week.
- You no show, you're removed from the league. YOU must request to be reinstated, we wont try to track you down.
- You get 1 reinstatement, after that, you're gone completely if you don't show up again!
- A no show win = full win points (35.00) for team that shows up.
- Rosters locked the night before your week 6 match.
- League matches must be played on league assigned map, no switching.
- Preseason play is not required
- Late team joins are allowed until week 2 is over, with the exception of keeping an even number of teams in league to facilitate match scheduling.
- No late join makeup matches. In the scheduling and points, you have time to still climb up the tiers.
- League matches must be played on League night (Monday) OR the night before (Sunday) if agreed in match coms. If both teams don't agree, then its default night, (Monday)
- Default match time is always 9:30 EST (TWL time) unless both teams expressly agree to change the match time in match coms
- both teams need to post server info if possible. Being home or visiting team has no obligation to "provide a server or forfeit".
- Home team will have server choice or can defer server choice for round 1 side selection. (if Home defers for side choice, and for some reason the other team has a server issue and the match must be moved to Home teams listed server, Home team retains Round 1 side choice)
- Home team must announce in match coms at least 48 hours before match if they want server selection, or instead want side choice. They must give side/server they choose at this time also. If they fail to say anything, they waive the right to any choice.
- Demos are required for all play including preseason. If your server wont demo, or you can't get the demos from your host, you don't have a legal match server.
- Demo requests must be made in match coms at least 24 hours prior to match start time or you waive the right to try to get the demo. Please leave contact info so the team can get you the demo as well.
- All league servers are required to be StreamingPB - Check league consolidated stickies for FAQ located Click Here
- Players on roster by the day before match time with a proper GUID are eligible to play however, noone can play on 2 different teams, in the same league, at the same time, for any reason at any time. You can leave 1 team to go to another, but you can't then go back to your original team. See Smurfing Rule
- If your match is to be shoutcasted, you can't refuse, and freeroam will be required to be allowed.
- In the event there is an odd number of active teams in the league the team with the lowest points total that lost the previous week will either have a bye week OR if willing, be a standby if another team in that division has a no show.
Point Allocation:
Match Attendance = 10 pts
Rounds Won = RW x 10 pts
Won Round Ticket Bonus = Total Tickets from Rounds Won divided by 100
Shutout Bonus = 5 pts
Formulas Used for Scoring:
(MA + (RW x 10) + (TTRW / 100) + 5)
(MA + (RW x 10) + (TTRW / 100))
(MA + (RW x 10) + 5)
Scoring Scenarios:
*Scenario 1 - Team X wins 2-0
Winning Team = (MA + (RW x 10) + (TTRW / 100) +5)
Losing Team = MA
Team X wins 2-0 51-0 50-0
Team X points = (10 for showing, 20 for rounds won, 5 point bonus for 2-0 win, and 1.01 for tickets)= 36.01 points for the match
Team Y points = (10 for showing up) = 10.00
*Scenario 2 - Team X wins 2-1
Both Teams = (MA + (RW x 10) + (TTRW / 100))
Team X wins 2-1 over Team Y 51-0 0-70 50-0
Team X points = Team X points = (10 for showing, 20 for rounds won, and 1.01 for tickets)= 31.01 points for the match
Team Y points = Team X points = (10 for showing, 10 for rounds won, and .70 for tickets)= 20.70 points for the match
*Scenario 3 - Team Y No Shows
Winning Team = (MA + (RW x 10) + 5)
Team X points = 35 pts.
Team Y points = Team is removed from the league and placed in pending
Clarifications:
In the event of a no show, the team that attended gets full win points because they "fought" the match uncontested.
All this is done to stop a noshow match from hurting a team. Realistically it doesn't alter their ranking beyond what they would have normally played because the match scheduling is based on rankings, it will self adjust.
A team that no shows gets removed from the league and immediately placed back to the pending queue. Admins will NOT persue them to reschedule. The team must contact the admin staff. If 1 week goes by and the status has not been changed, the team is removed from the pending queue. To rejoin the league, they will have to go through formal sign ups.
