Sign ups have gotten to the point where it's clear we can move forward with a two-tiered league. Each team will have two levels of competition roughly split between 0-1500 MMR and 1500-1800 MMR. For those who are on the edge of these divisions, decisions will be made on a case by case basis. While I want to keep the league as competitive as possible, education is the primary goal so some of you will be facing much stronger opponents every so often. If a player is determined to be placed incorrectly they will be moved to the appropriate tier within the first few weeks of the league.

The expectation is that higher level players will assist with the coaching of the lower level players in their team. Our coaches have graciously volunteered their time and effort to help all of you players and I want to keep the load on them as light as possible. Teaching is one of the best ways to learn and I hope that all players will take every opportunity they can to improve during the duration of the league.

I've edited the OP to include the following rules and format information:

Format
Round robin team tournament. Each week teams will cycle through their opponents and play five bo3 matches on the same three map set (map pool TBD).
Teams will consist of a single or pair of coaches, an A team (roughly 1500-1800 MMR) and a B team (roughly 0-1500 MMR).
Every match will consist of three B-team series and two A-team series.
The league will consist of two full rounds of round-robin where each team will play every other team twice.
At the completion of the league there will be a brief period of playoffs, exact format TBD.


Rules
1. Absolutely no BM or harassment. This is a educational and fun league that all players benefit from. If you cannot play nice, you will be removed. Good natured shit talk is acceptable, but don't push it into BM territory. If there are any issues please alert an admin.
2. Games can be pre-played if you and your opponent can coordinate an acceptable time. Otherwise all games must be played at the specified time/date (TBD).
3. One player or coach is responsible for reporting game results, providing replays, and providing the next week's lineup every week.
4. Substitutions are allowed provided that the subs are playing the same race as submitted in the lineup and are in the appropriate team (A or B team).
5. A-team players are expected to assist with coaching of B-team players.
