~Potential Formats Proleague Players are matched based off of skill (Bronze v Bronze, Silver v S.) Potentially played with an ace match, where teams choose a player to play a final match against each other, ending a close series. Pros: Teams can have a large variance in skill, and still allow players to compete. Teams get to serve as player hotspots for improvement. Everyone gets to play at least one match. =) Internal competition for the ace spot. Probably closest to a real "team" feel. Players can have a timeframe of when their matches are played. Cons: Teams with imbalanced player skill across the spectrum can lead to "worse" teams winning. Organization of matches is slightly harder than all-kill format. Currently has less support in TL.net poll. All-Kill Teams send out a list of players, and players go at it in gladitorial-like combat, staying in the ring until they are bested. Potentially played with an ace match, where teams choose a player to play a final match against each other, ending a close series. Pros:There is overall more potential for epic players to emerge and dominate a match. DRGGGGGG~~ Matches are easier to organize, compared to all-kill format. Encourages teams to develop stronger players. Cons: One player can potentially carry an entire team. Development of players is more important than development of teams as a whole. Personally, I lean towards more proleague format, as it would allow actual teams to be a bit of a bigger deal. I don't know, the whole idea of all-kill just seems a little meh to me. Either Bo5 or Bo7. Going to have to depend on team size. I like the idea of ace match, and I think season one should include it. *******League Breakdown******* BoX Double Elimination, with Bo9 + Ace Finals? League Management establishes parameters for teams to follow; IE, must have two team officers (one captain, another co-captain) Must have two bronze, two silver, two gold, etc. Something like this is probably necessary with such a large skill gap. League randomly creates bracket until teams begin to consistently perform. ~~~challonge.com~~~~ Management announces bracket and gives deadlines for matches. It is up to teams to schedule matches between captains, any disputes are passed up to management. Results are announced to management and replays are enclosed in an email sent no later than the previously announced deadline. In regards to no-shows, after half-hour has passed, team captain PM's management with written agreement from other captain to time including opposing captain + co-captain Bnet ID and code. After 45 minutes, bye is given and no-show is given loss. *******Where to Host it******** Management can use TL for first season, afterwards, they should probably look into external hosting alternatives, but we'll see based off of first season interest.  | ||

It's pretty well established (I thought) we were doing the pro league format anyway. I liked howlin's chart thingy for the overall format. EDIT: I feel odd using "we" ... I'm not an organizer or helper or anything for this thing.. v.v but the "collective" has agreed on pro league as the best format for this I thought. | ||

Personally, I prefer the double elim style but the round robin ensures that all teams will play games every week. | ||

As for the league format, I don't really agree with a double elimination bracket, because it's a system that excludes teams from the season early on, and people want to join this league because they want to play. I think the round robin group allows for a much larger time period where every team is still playing in the league. In a double elimination bracket, you can play as few as two matches and you're out, while in a round robin group system every team gets to play at least 7 matches. I think it may be much more fun for the teams and the players if they get to play as much as possible. I think a bo5 is the best way to go, as it reduces the amount of players per team, making everything much easier to run. Maybe after the first season and it's clear that the league can function with more players, it can be changed to a bo7 or even a bo9, but for now I think bo5s are more than enough to test the waters. | ||

Are there any actual teams formed yet? Smooch.163 NA Silver Toss There have been a few people who said their team would be willing to join, one is listed in the spreadsheet. The plan was once there was a viable amount of players team captains would pick from the pool to complete teams. At least that is what I recall from the previous posts, no one has really called dibs on being a captain on the NA side I believe though. | ||

As this is a Bronze, Silver, Gold league (at this time) their relation to Silver really doesn't matter. So if you have like 5 bronzies that want to play (in the NA region)... super! lol MAJOR UPDATE: Hey guys, right now, me and Dasende are bumping around the idea of having this be a league where Silvers/Golds actively play while Bronzes aspire to compete and Plats+ help players improve. =) This idea is being thrown about because we have enough Silver/Gold players to make 8 teams with 5 players each at this current time. | ||
