Well about timezone, the [.time]-converter did infact use the correct time for me, so even if your timezone changes, it should show you the correct time.
@E to A CL time issue:
Yes, I was aware of this issue. At the beginning of this league the original time for E to A was Fridays, but now it is Saturdays. But I do not think it will be too much of an issue, since in this league you have a starter and the others can play in E to A CL. So you can always decide if you wanna start in DRATL or play in E to A. Only problem I see is that it is infact Bo3, so it might delay some clanwars in DRATL. I will observe the first week and if it is too bad we can talk about this again. I also already talked to Eywa about this and he proposed to reschedule the conflicting tiers. But I would not like to cause him any problems with his league.

That was what caused so much confusion with DRTL previously: it showed the correct time for some timezones but the wrong one for others. I think you should just play it safe and test it out next week to make sure there is no confusion. Also as Nagi said, at least people will be 1 hour early rather than 1 hour late. Nagi lied to me

So it looks like I've already messed up the DST changes. Since NA is moving 1 hour back, it would mean there's a chance NA players would be 1 hour late instead of what I said earlier about them being 1 hour early. 1 hour early was what happened in spring for DRTL.

I am starting to play Terran having never played it before. I am a C level Protoss and a D+ (as of now) level Terran.

If we get to use C players with off-races I'd like to recruit Wala.Revolution, Snipinpanda, and Fold.
(I think C players are excessively better than us.)

If you are still taking players for draft, I would like to participate, though it has been quite a while since I played

I wouldn't sign up if I thought that was the case. I've played Protoss almost 95% of the time and only off-raced against friends. My Zerg is probably D level and my Terran is about D+ level. I get owned by high D+ Protoss players, can't win TvZ late game at all or mid-game (no micro), and my TvT is D level.
I also want to continue playing Terran for fun and this league is a motivation for me.

Nevermind man. I knew there would be resources for this, but I wanted to do this by hand, just for the experience, lol^^.
@ Yaqoob
I cannot allow you in this league. I am sincerly sorry about this but the vote about this issue went heavily in favor of not allowing offracing higher ranked players (as you can see in the discussion thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=369472 Poll 6).
@ Phailol and JohnChoi
I am glad to have you onboard. I will list you in the drafting list, after I finished this post.
@ Team Manner Hatch issue:
I wrote them a PM and wrote in this thread. Cannot do much more about this. As I will need to check every player in the following days, I will need to contact them. Sadly I still do not have the captain of team manner hatch in my Skype List and in the Captains Conversation. But I am sure they will show up (hopefully).
@ Maps:
Please guys, everyone write six maps you do not want to see in this league. I will update the mappool on Monday 17:00 GMT (+00:00) and will kick out the maps with the most votes. (In case there are more maps voted then to be kicked, I will decide via a coin toss.
@ All:
I just reactivated an older script, I used for an other tournament. It is a replayupload script, where you can upload seven replays at once and you can download every replay, which is uploaded there one by one or all replays as a zip file. I dunno if you like it and want to use it but I think this would be nice for all the casters to grab every replay. This would also take a lot of organizing from my shoulders, since I would not need to gather every replay. But it would also need discipline from the captains (must upload the replays after the Clanwar on their own, rename it correctly and always upload seven replays). What do you think about it?
Here is the website: http://www.dratl.us.pn/
Poll: Use the replayscript?Yes. (6) 86% No. (1) 14% I don't care. (0) 0% 7 total votes Your vote: Use the replayscript? (Vote): Yes.
(Vote): No.
(Vote): I don't care.
Maybe you will ask yourself, why we should not just use RepDepot.net (which is an amazing site and I use it on my own)? Simply because this Replaysite is just for DRATL and you can download every replay from this league with just one click. Also you can find every replay very easy with this and know on which position the player of interest was used. Also it makes my life easier
@Drafting:
I think the free agents list needs to be on this site as well:
Free agents list following (players like this are already drafted):
sluggaslamoo  D+
George_the_man ,  v 
awerti D
Kal_rA / mmahirr D+

Do you want every person that is participating to type out 6 maps or just the captains?
Also, I think that using the script will be of great help for everybody ^^ I mean, people are required to send replays anyway, this will just make it easier to have them all in one place.
|
No, I just want a spoilerfree replay archives. So if your team decides that every players has to upload his replay, then the captain only has to fill up the missing replays. But probably it will be better if the captain does this on his own, since I dunno if players would like to upload a replay where they lost
|
I have a question
In the event your sent out first will you know what map you will play on ahead of time so that it gives me a bit of time to look it up/formulate some kind of BO or strategy?
|
I only picked 2 maps to remove before, but here's 6.
Gladiator
Andromeda
Aztec
Match Point
Sniper Ridge
Chain Reaction
Anyway, chrisolo, you forgot adding Pucca on the free agents list.

Oh right, here goes.
iCCup Blue Storm
iCCup Colosseum II
iCCup Longinus

Each team eliminates 3 maps, so it's not too bad. I for one fully intend to play on RoV for the hell of it. Well, there are 22 total maps. Take out 6 and it's still a considerable amount. Going to make practicing for this a nightmare. i dont know how i would train for that many maps... i still cant play on more than 9 of those maps. i have a feeling the clanwars will end up like icccl: random start map nobody wants to play -> fs -> python/desti/hbr or map where u can be 100% sure he will all in trying to learn new maps is ok.... but there are so many.... Edit: i would: remove because of complexity: iCCup Blue Storm iCCup Chain Reaction iCCup Colosseum II iCCup Electric Circuit iCCup Gladiator iCCup Neo Medusa iCCup Othello iCCup Outsider iCCup Ride of Valkyries iCCup Tau Cross remove because of similarities: iCCup Andromeda iCCup Circuit Breaker iCCup Jade iCCup Match Point iCCup Sniper Ridge my mappool: iCCup Aztec iCCup Destination iCCup Fighting Spirit iCCup Ground Zero iCCup Heartbreak Ridge iCCup Longinus iCCup Python imo i could also exchange ground zero for circuit breaker, but i found ground zero more appealing for a "new" map. yes i selected mostly standard maps, and also fs/python/desti/hbr which everybody loves and hates. playing with a "removed for complexity" map is very hard as a beginner, because u either have to fight the map (pathing), have to play completely different builds or the maps are just very unique in general. i have two 2 player maps, two 3 player maps and three 4 player maps. fs and python are the maps we all mostly played the most, so we just know the maps, desti and hbr comes next, longinus also pretty known. the "new" maps here would be aztec and ground zero. i would just set the maps in advance and rotate them every week (just dont place all the 4 player maps next to each other etc)
@chrisolo is there any way we could do something like this the mappool is pretty intimidating
edit: i just read the post saying he wont go lower than 16 so nvm

Also I checked the round robin list and it appears correct.
