From the input we've received in the TL InHouse thread, I think there's enough interest to try and start a league to help people improve at League. After talking to a few people, we've straightened out the logistics and we're ready to roll. Depending on the number of interested participants, we'll have coaches to help and guide each team to help them improve on key aspects to improving at League such as laning, map movement, objective control, etc. Sign up only if you're willing to spend the time and effort into playing and improving.
Eligibility
Let's talk eligibility. Who's able to play in this league? After talking it through, I think anyone in gold or below should be eligible to play in the league. Don't worry, if you're plat or above, I'll likely have another league similar to this for more experienced players to play in. If you're on the borderline (Gold 1), you can choose where you want to play in, but I'd recommend you play with the Plat+s so that you can improve quicker.
Teams
Once we have the players set in stone, division into teams will be an issue. Not everyone is available to play at the same time as everyone else, and not everyone is the same rank either. Also, not everyone plays every role and there are definitely people who want to improve on certain roles. I think during signups, everyone interested in playing should list the times they can practice during the week as well as what roles they want to learn and play on the teams.
Also, how many players to each team? I personally like having just 5 so that people aren't left out in "sub" roles if they're deemed not good enough, but at the same time that doesn't leave much room for flexibility. I personally think that if you're unable to field a team of 5, you can look to find any sub that's roughly the same level.

Coaches
Anyone Plat 1 or higher can coach (I'll make exceptions in certain cases), and you do have the option to team up with other coaches if you feel like you're unable to help everyone at every position.
Format
I'm pretty sure everyone agrees that a single Bo1 per week is the best thing to do because it gives time to prepare new strategies, try out new champs, play some solo queue on your own on the side during the week. The only question is whether or not the games should take place at the same time each week with the ability to reschedule or whether it should be up to the teams to schedule that.

It seems as if people wanted a fixed time slot for games over the weekends, but if you're unable to make it at that time, please look to reschedule the games and submit a score screen to me. For now, we'll host the games on Sunday at 1 PM Pacific.
If anyone is looking to shoutcast these, let me know as well.
Please post any suggestions and comments in this thread or PM me, even if you're not going to participate.

Jokes aside, I want to try (hopefully seriously this time) to hit plat.
