This thread's purpose is to gauge interest, give some general info about the league and answer any questions regarding the league.
Format & Core Rules
1: League type will likely be auction draft (rules for this tbd)
2: Team sizes and number are TBD depending on sign ups.
3: League will be split into 2 groups who will play eachother for playoff seeding.
4: Team in each group will play *twice (depending on number of teams)
5: Playoffs are the elimination stage, all teams make playoffs.
6: Matches are 4 maps, 12 rounds each map (total, not best of), no overtime for the first 3 maps, one 6 round OT on map 4 if needed (Regular Season Rule), FT5 2OT if needed (Playoffs only). Match winner is determined by total rounds won on each map, maps themselves are a seeding tie breaker, but have no impact on the match.
7: There is a 5 minute half-time after the 2nd map (Captain's discretion whether to use the whole 5 or not)
8: Scheduled matches have a 15 minute grace period by default (afterwards it is a forfeit).
9: Rounds are limited to 5m 30s, with the rounds starting automatically after 30s
10: Timeouts are 1 minute each, 5 Timeouts per match (used at captains discretion), 15 second automatic go after a timeout has ended.
11: Match days will be set to Friday & Saturday by default. Other days may be scheduled per captains discretions.
12: If schedule conflicts do not allow for a match to be played Friday or Saturday, the matches must be played at the earliest point afterwards with a hard deadline of Monday (no extension will be granted past Monday)
13: League Length is not intended to exceed 1 or 1.5 months
Other Goals
The league as stated is not intended to exceed 1 month, but it is intended to be hosted for multiple seasons throughout the year on a bi-monthly basis, with weekly tournaments being held during the interim months, with a longer Summer League being hosted at the end. Results from the leagues and tournaments will tracked (top 5 placements), leagues will also (hopefully) have a leaderboard, one which will be used on a season to season basis and the other one accumulative through out the year.
