LEAGUE FORMAT:

Teams will be evenly matched skill wise and will have a Point CAP. This means that rosters will be “tinkered” with until we have a level playing field.

Rosters will allow for up to 7 Players per roster (3 Subs & 4 Starters).

You must have at least 3 players to play a match – ALL players must be on your roster.

Each team will play one another at LEAST 2x in a season – possibly more. If there is an uneven number of teams, each team will get an off week.

Scoring will work as follows:

o 2 pts for a Win

o 1 pt for a Tie

o 0 pts for a loss

Teams will be ranked in order of pts earned.

Top teams (#TBD) will make playoffs, a double elimination tournament (MLG format). Teams will be seeded by regular season rank (details will follow when playoffs approach)

Each team plays 1 match per week. If we do not see a thread in the forum confirming game times and responses from both teams, and a game is not completed BOTH teams will receive losses. If one team makes an effort to schedule and gets no response, the team making an effort will receive credit for wins.

If a team does not arrive for a scheduled match, the Commish must be made aware via PM on the Message board. – You will get ONE chance to make up a game if there are unforeseen circumstances (power outage, broken disk/Xbox).

Team captains MUST Download all appropriate Maps/Gametypes:

• Download ONLY MLG types, NOT any with GB in front.
• Failure to use the correct Maps and Gametypes may result in forfeiture of games.

There is a 48 hour waiting period to sign any Free Agents from the free agent pool, as well as a team priority ranking that will be posted. The priority ranking will be in a reverse order (worst to first)

You must add all team captains to your friend list (names can be found here: (Link TBD))

League Leadership will use HC35BL statistics to calculate a player point value. If a player is new to the league and/or has not played, they will take part in a series of league sanctioned FFA & team games
