The second half of the season will feature inter-division play, where a team will play a randomly selected team from the same region of every rank: ranks 1-5 will not play a rank 10 team, and ranks 6-10 will not play a rank 1 team.

Here are some examples:
My school finished 8-1 in the first half of the season, and sits at Rank #1. In the second half of the season, we will be playing a team (randomly selected from the teams in the same region) from Rank 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

What does this mean, practically speaking?
The divisions will not change, we are simply adding inter-division play to allow teams to play other schools in their same region. We are randomly selecting by rank so to ensure that teams are playing an even set of skilled teams (I.E. no one team is playing multiple of #1 ranked teams).


Can we get some clarification on the inter-division play, this part seems ambiguous/inconsistent. The example says that the first place team can play anyone 1st through 9th, however, the explanation says that 6th through 9th cannot play first, am I reading that wrong?

Also, will the playoffs be based only on overall record (including inter-divisional play)? If so, that seems like it could have the potential to be unfair with a 50% random schedule. Imagine the first place team had to play the 4 other first places and 4 other 2nd places, and the 2nd place team from their division had to play only 8th and 9th place teams, surely the records would not be indicative of the better team.

Thanks in advance for the clarification!


If you have questions you should join us on Saturday, Sep 10 12:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)!
Here is the stream: http://www.twitch.tv/cstarleague



I will be moving from Cincinnati to Columbus at that time. Is there no other way to get clarification on the rules? I feel like maybe it should be documented or something? Is there at least a way to ask questions without being in the stream chat?

I assumed that would be the case, but I also assume I can't ask questions to the VOD. How do I make sure they answer my question?

Hi! Sorry for the confusion. It should be:

rank 1 teams will not play rank 10 teams (and so rank 10 teams will not play rank 1 teams).


All teams will have to play one of every rank. No team will play multiple rank 4's or multiple rank 1's.

Ctrl+f and find your school in the listings. The contact to the team manager should be there:

East is crazy concentrated. You have no idea. West didn't step up their game this season D:

The regional breakdown looks something like: West, Central, East/Southeast, and North. You will probably see more teams in the Central and East/Southeast regions (>60 while others are <60) because the regional LANs are located in those areas.
