OK, first of all, the format is going to change from WL style to PL style, Bo5 no Ace match. Map pool changes as following: Destination is out. Neo Outlier is out. Neo Aztec is exchanged for Outsider SE. Second, there will be no 2v2 happening this season. Sorry to the people who wanted it, but this league is 1v1 oriented. This is correct. Your team will be slotted into ladder once Season 2 starts. Ideally, we're going to have 14 teams this season, but I don't know how many people will turn out TT_TT Nikon, your a boss. Good decisions too, imo. Thanks for all the work you do making this league a reality! | ||

I haven't played since the previous season but I went 12-0 there. No clue what my iccup rank would be. If I'm allowed I'd love to play for TAKK again. Check your skype. | ||

-Time pressure for organizers. It just introduces a lot of work on-site for organizers in addition to the extant work of handling walkover/absence disputes, lag disputes, substitution/double-play disputes, etc. -Teams cannot self-mediate. With lineups preset, captains can negotiate on-site according to preset rules in order to keep the ball rolling/get the games played in case players or even organizers are late. -No preset matchups between players limits rescheduling. Players who live in inconvenient time zones will have to either wake up at 4am, negotiate a reschedule *after* Sunday (assuming a rule framework is built for that), or simply not play at all. I'm sure it can be made to work, but preset lineups just feel smoother. | ||

Last time I think things were too leniant for lazy captains not submitting lineups. If they submit a late lineup, make them start at -2 points when the match starts, period. In my experience with leagues like this, submitting a lineup isn't hard at all. I can't imagine why any captain would have a legitimate reason to not submit a lineup by the deadline. | ||

As for the IMBA-issue: Maybe there could be a gentlemans agreement on that the best players of each team always plays set 4 and 5? We have a pretty stacked team, but im probably not even going to play another games so no worries about me crushing. I also suck harder than ever these days ^^ | ||

I think to prevent last seasons problems we need clearer deadlines. Nikon accomodated a lot for the teams with late lineups last season, which gave him a lot more work and delayed the lineups for the teams that sent their lineups in time, but he doesn't have to do that. Let's say that the deadline is 20:00 CET wednesday. Then Nikon could look at his mail at 20:05 and write down all lineups, and for any lineup that's missing, he just takes their lineup from the week before, and that lineup would be final. Whether that lineup would work doesn't matter, because if they can't find someone who is active enough to send in a lineup, they're in trouble either way. | ||

And on the off chance one of the players from the previous week is unable to play entirely or something, at least the rest of the teams know, and can sort it out themselves if the captain is unavailable. | ||

As a team captain I'll always want to have my lineup sent on time and can't imagine why someone would be a captain without having the ability to preplan their schedule to fit in sending a lineup. | ||
