Countdown to Final Matches:
Teams have until the end of the countdown to play their opponents. If no time can be agreed upon, players will be forced to play on Sunday 10am PDT in channel: op PATL ON USWEST.
(I'm doing away with home/visitor teams because SC:R is p2p and the servers do not matter)
Players have a whole week to play, the games don't all have to be done at the same time. Play at least 4 sets and if matches are tied 2-2 then we figure out the ACE match. MAKE SURE YOU SHARE RESULTS WITH ME. WINNERS SEND ME THE REPLAYS.
If a player does not show, his team may "sub" a player for him. If no player or sub present themselves after 15min (9:15am PDT) then the match point is awarded to the player/team that IS present. Please take a screenshot after typing /time or show your PC clock. This will be your proof.

Where:
All matches will be attempted to be played on Battle.Net, USWest.
Teams/Players can play on either server if agreed upon.
Channel: op PATL on USWest is the default on Sundays.
Default Turn Rate of 8, unless both players agree to a higher level.
If players do not wish to have observers, then observers MUST leave.
I encourage everyone to READ EVERYTHING below but I've broken things up between responsibilities of Team Leaders and Players.
I also want to emphasize ONE last thing about Rosters. You are able to FREELY draft new talent to your team or remove players that have stopped playing. The one thing I have tighter restrictions on and will review on a case by case basis is Team Switching. I will not tolerate one team stacking another team and then switching back to their original team. You're on the team that you're on, STAY THERE. If you TRULY need to switch, talk to me.
NO SMURFING - This does NOT give you the right to attempt to pull one over on me. I've already had ONE player try to do this and the Season hasn't even started yet and I caught him. He got a warning. If anyone attempts to do this you will be BANNED for the rest of the Season. This is my ONLY warning on the matter. I have methods to track this, do not test me.
Be honest and respectful to each other and have fun.
If you need to see ALL the rules - please head over to the wiki where I have relocated them.
How do Teams submit lineups/How do we play?
The map pool of PATL Season 1 for Weeks 1 through 12 have been announced above.
If a team fails to submit 2 lineups in a row. They will automatically be removed from this Season of the PATL.
Any team can be removed by Admin discretion as well due to lack of communication or failings to be diligent in encouraging your team to play/communicate.
If I find you you keep setting up early times to play and your team or certain players keep FAILING to attend to those predetermined times, I may have to make drastic decisions such as benching that player for a week or something similar for wasting peoples time. I don't like my time being wasted, I'm sure most people don't. BE ADULTS GUYS. But if you FAIL to show up at a pre-determined time, the hard deadline of Sunday 10am PDT is still set in stone as the default. As I've said, if you keep jerking people around. You'll answer to me. Don't walk that path.
Every game won is a point for your team. At the end of the season points will be totaled. The top FOUR highest scoring teams will be seeded into the Semi-Finals.
Due to the LARGE number of teams, it is not likely your team will play against EVERY team in the League before the season ends. Teams will be seeded randomly against each other each week during the season but never replaying the same team. Good luck to everyone and may the best teams win!
ALSO GUYS LET ME STRESS. PLEASE DONT SPOIL RESULTS OR SHARE REPLAYS until a week AFTER the match. Casters get the FIRST crack at the replays to cast and I want them to NOT get spoiled please.
I'll post results of the games by Wednesday of each week. This gives Casters time to cast their games as long as possible without being spoiled.
If you have questions or you're unsure of what to do. PLEASE CONTACT ME.
