B- players can now join.

Welcome to the reboot of the C Ranks Teamleague! This league is mainly for C ranked players but anyone from E to C+ B- can join (B- players will be spread evenly among the teams), and it has a $250 prize! Yes, we know the last one of these leagues ran out of steam but hopefully with the proper incentives, rules and team structures we can make this one successful.

FORMAT

League Format
6 (or 8) teams, 1 match per week. There will be 2 rounds where teams will play every other team once per round making the regular season 10 weeks long assuming we have 6 teams. Top 4 teams will move on to the playoffs which will be single elimination.

Match Format
Best of 5, no ace match, each set is a best of 1 on a predetermined map. Captains must submit the lineups by Wednesday night/Thursday morning 03:59 GMT (+00:00). Lineups will be posted the following day. All sets need to be played and count towards the set score which will act as the first tiebreaker for playoff positions.

Time and Date
Games will be played on Sundays at 19:00 GMT (+00:00). Games must be played before the replay deadline. First match will be ~~Sunday, March 24th or the following week if we need more signups~~ March 31st.

PRIZE POOL

$250 - Winner Take All

The prize will be split among the team members according the number of points each player has.
Captains start with 2 points. All other players start with 0. Individual players will earn:
+2 points for win/forfeit win
+1 point for a loss
-2 points for a forfeit loss

Captains can also lose points for the following reasons:
-1 point per day for late lineup submission (1st time warning)
-1 point per day for late replay submission (1st time warning)

The penalties for captains can stack up pretty fast but at the same time can earn them 2 extra points if they are punctual.

Can't wait to view the casted matches! I find watching the D rank leagues and C rank leagues more entertaining than the top leagues.

I hope all my favourite players I enjoy watching all sign up - dsyxelic, Kororo, munkie, Reclusive, Kiva, Quirinus, Radley, Noise, fold, Mewka, sabas, ajmbek, AleC, glio, Poetic, Elegant, White, ihufa, NinaZerg, youRun, Terranos, MVP, Wallace, S2Glow, HeiHachi, Zangetsu, Zimp.

I will be cheering for you all to win in your respected teams!

Fold hit B- and Wallace hit B last season.

Can I play my offrace in this? They would be around C-. The players in Courage (DRTL) have beaten my offraces before so I don't think it will be a problem for C rankers.
