I can't blame CSL for switching to SC2 - it's new and shiny and the player base is going to be huge - but CSL for Brood War was awesome and a lot of people (myself included) are going to miss it. But it would be silly not to have any intercollegiate BW just because CSL is switching, right? So I figure I might as well make that happen! Enter CBW -> Collegiate Brood War.

banner by Funnytoss, who is a gentleman and a scholar

"Wait," you might be thinking, "shouldn't there be an 'L' for 'League' at the end of that?" Well, no. With SC2 out I have no doubt that participation levels in anything BW will be significantly lower, so rather than a CSL style league with a fancy website and a 4 player minimum for teams and playoffs the #1 aim of CBW is just to provide an opportunity for some games for those of us who still love BW. Are you the only person at your university who wants to play? 1 or 2 person teams are fine! Every week each team will be matched up against another team and it is 100% your responsibility to coordinate when and how you will play. If such a not-serious thing makes you want to rip your shirt off in anger and you want to run a more serious league be my guest : 3

In order to accommodate different levels of participation, there are many different suggested match setups for two teams playing each other:
+ Show Spoiler +
1v1: Bo1 or Bo3 between the players
1v2: Single player plays both other players, ace match if necessary
2v2: Proleague style Bo3 (ace match if necessary) or both members of one team play both members the other team with an ace match if the score is tied 2:2
3v3: Bo3 or each player on one team plays a Bo3 with a player from the other team
4v4: Proleague style Bo5 (ace match if necessary)

Games may be played on any of the maps in the Iccup map pool. If you can't agree on a map use one of {Fighting Spirit, Grand Line, Match Point} and if you can't agree on those just use Fighting Spirit. Use whatever match setup you can agree upon (even if it's not on the above list) but if you can't agree upon one then use the suggested format that involves the minimum amount of games played. If one team has fewer players than the other use the format for the lower number of players.

Maybe you are super excited and want to sign up for this! How do you do that? Just fill out this signup and post it in this thread:

School: _____
TL Account Name of your team's coordinator: _____
Iccup ID of your team's coordinator: _____
Minimum # of players you think you will have each week (don't bullshit me or yourself): _____

So for example, if I were to sign up it would look like this:

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)
Crunchums
Crunchums[CMU]
3

Signups are going to stay open until September 12th
Also if you are cheating somehow what the hell are you doing with your life man o.O
Lastly, this is my first time running anything so please be nice ;_;/

Signed up so far: (School - Coordinator, Iccup ID)

Nice! Can't say I'll be participating, since I'm mostly "retired" from BW (if you can call it that), but I'm very glad that you're keeping this going, and I'll definitely be tuning in if any of it is streamed.

I like this a lot, but fear you won't get enough players to make per/school representation worthwhile - part of what makes proleague exciting is that Flash cannot simply all-kill everyone, depth is important.

If there isn't a lot of interest then it may make sense to merge schools into regional teams or even run a draft (players are free agents and coaches take turns picking players). I think a draft could be a lot of fun, and we'd get to meet some new people.

With fewer larger teams it is a lot easier to ensure that (1) sufficient players show up on time, and (2) sufficient teammates are available to practice and discuss games. I think 7-10 players is a healthy team size for a weekly bo5, provided everyone is given an opportunity to play. Because this is CBW, there will certainly be weeks where some people won't be able to make their games and backups are needed.

I don't like the idea of a 1-man team.
