Altitude the game

The league's first season will run for a full 4 weeks: April 26 to May 24.

A team will have 2 matches scheduled per week. The default playdate is Sunday. It is up to the captains to agree to a separate date if it is required. If a date cannot be agreed on, then the match must be played on Sunday. Time depends on preferred time-zones of teams.

Schedules will be sent out via PM and posted in this OP. The top teams will be placed in a playoff bracket, the size of which depends on how many teams participate in the regular season.

A regular season match will be a best of 3 map series. The first map will be designated by the league administrators and the losing team will be able to choose the map from a limited map pool thereafter. Screenshots of the post-game screen must be captured after every game and should be submitted to ME (chobopeon) via TL.NET PM immediately following the game along with a scoring summary in text. A game which lacks screen shots from either side will result in a loss and 1 game suspension for both teams.

Before the season begins, I will further clarify to captains exactly how to report the results of a match.

A playoff match will be a best of 3 maps. Each map will be a best of 5 series and will be played exactly like a regular season match. The first map will be designated by the league administrators and the losing team will be able to choose the map from a limited map pool thereafter.

The championship will be a best of 3 maps with a best of 7 series. All regular season rules apply.

A team must have at least 5 total pilots including a designated captain. There is no maximum limit on the number of pilots a team can have.

A captain is the de facto leader of a team. Only a captain can add or remove players from the roster. A captain must be easy to reach for the league and other captains. We will be using the TL PM system and so a captain must check his TL PMs regularly.

Only the captain can send this in. Only a team with at least 5 players should be sending in an application. We won't accept a 3 player team "looking for more" - find more and then sign up!

Sign ups will continue until April 25.

We need your team name and tag simply for identification. We'd appreciate it if you could wear a tag during all league games. It'd make sorting through everything much simpler.

We need both the team captain's TL and Altitude names for ease of contact and for when if/when we need to review names.

We need all pilots (captain included) handles, IPs and accounts. You can find your ip at http://www.whatismyip.com/ . We need this to verify player identity in the player screen shots and server logs.

We need your preferred Time Zone so we can assign matches which are easier for all teams to complete. I will provide a unique "default play time" (on Sunday) for each game based on the the team's preferred time zone. There is no requirement to only play with people near you, but each time should be able to play at roughly the same time - for practice's sake and for official games.

The last line ("show match info") is totally optional. If you'd like to play in the show match within the next week or so, let me know. This is your chance to pitch that your team will give a good game to the audience. Tell us how long your pilots have been playing and when you'd be available.
