Format
The league will be a round-robin style tournament.
There will be 8 participants who will face one opponent each week over the course of 7 weeks. If there are any tied positions after the 7 weeks then there will be a BO5 to decide the order of podium positions, and a BO3 to decide the positions of anyone less than 3rd place.
Each week players will compete in 2 games against their opponent for the given week and will be rewarded with points depending on the outcome of these two games.
The points system is as follows:
2 Wins = 3 Points
1 Win = 1 Point
0 Wins = 0 points
Players will know who they will be facing each week for the entire duration of the league before the league starts. This is because there will be a map pool consisting of 15 different maps, in each match-up per week both players will choose 1 map from the map pool to decide the maps which will be played in the 2 games for that week.
Players may not choose the same map from the pool twice.
Example:
The map pool includes Arabia and Migration.
Week1: TheViper vs ZeroEmpires, TheViper chooses to play Arabia. ZeroEmpires can then choose to play Arabia or Migration (or any of the other maps in the pool).
Week2: TheViper vs SomeoneElse, TheViper can not choose Arabia but can choose any other map from the pool that he has not already chosen. SomeoneElse could still choose Arabia provided that they haven't already made the choice to play Arabia in a previous week.
To decide who will play their home map first: In the first week the player to the left of the scheduling will decide who should choose the first map. In the following weeks the player who is in the lowest position in the league table will choose if his map is to be played first or second.
Civilisations are free to pick and can be picked as many times as a player desires in any of their games.
Final Note: I feel it is vital that everyone understands that things will be done very differently than usual. Here are the important things to note:
- Games will be played in the week before they are released to the public. Every set of 2 games will be released on a given day of the week with the recorded games, video commentary and an updated league table all in one post.
- Players will know the results of the games and matches before the people outside of the league, please do not give spoilers about who has won until after the games have been released to the public.
