The Top Tier league for AoFE.
To put it simply, Top Tier League is the first money league of its type. It costs players nothing to participate in, it disallows stacked teams to provide many great recorded games, and is simple to participate in. You do not need a clan to participate and all are welcome to join.

Season starts
Divisional play
Top teams from each division go to playoffs (total of either 16 or 8 in playoffs depending on interest)
Here is how it works:
Once the signups open, players may signup to be included in the "draft"
Managers will then bid for picks, highest donation means first pick in both rounds of drafting.
Minimum bid = $10, Maximum number of teams = 32
The following teams receive these prizes:
1st place = 200$ per player/Manager receives 2x whatever donated or 80% of donated amount (whichever is less)
2nd place = 50$ per player/Manager gets back money donated or 20% of donated amount (whichever is
Leftover money will go towards next season's prize pool
Regular Season Matches:
Each team may play any other divisional team a total of 2 matches. One "home" and one "away" match. Home team picks all maps and away team must copy civs chosen by home team. A match consists of 1 1v1 and 2 2v2s. A win for a 1v1 is 1 point and a win for a 2v2 is 2 points.
Playoff Matches
Playoffs will include 8 or 16 teams and before they begin.
A playoff match includes a 1v1 for each player and 3 2v2s. Each match is one point. All maps chosen by moderator at beginning of week.
Management:
Managers choose the name for their team, organise when their team can play, and help their team strategise. The best managers will take into account many factors throughout a season as well as pick a winning team.
OR a manager can simply donate the money and let the team handle it themselves.
Post any questions/concerns you have and I will address them
