Please give your suggestions. I'm not entirely sold on my own match format, but I think the league format is pretty solid and feasable for its time frame.

@Reedjr: With the league format I made each team would play at most 2 times in a week, and that's if they go to the 5th match in the groups stages. My workaround of the problem of having a match format that can potentially leave out players (i.e. all-kill) is to have a minimum of players from each league, which I think would make the matches less punishable for the lower leagues. @shadow_orc: even if a team sends out its best player (i.e. gold) there's always the chance the other team sends out their best player to try to snipe him, and if the gold players go out first, the silver and bronze players have also a chance of going in if it's a bo7 format. But yes, I can see some problems arising from that. I'm gonna see other options. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Teams: 8 teams of 5 players each, with a waiting list of players in case of dropouts or inactivity. Player draft: Captains for the first season are made by simply calling dibs on captain (note: dibs on captain) and dibs on a color (note: dibs on pink). Remaining players are placed into draft based upon league, with teams picking bronze first, then silver, then gold. Alternative: first season teams are randomized with leagues in mind. Based on 5 person teams, we would likely have 1 bronze and then 2 each of silver and gold per team. Format: Double elimination bracket BO5. Seeding will be randomized. Each match is BO3 and must be matched by league in the other team. 1 week is granted for each round to ensure all games are played. This ensures each player plays each week, with the winner’s bracket team getting a bye in the week of the loser bracket finals. Finals would keep this format. Alternative: teams can opt for an all-kill format for their round, which must be agreed upon by both teams. In this instance, each match is BO1. Map Pool: Season 7 map pool. Each player gets 3 vetos which are given to the opponent before the match. Loser picks next map. First map should always be… (This is subject to change) Daybreak? For clarification: Cloud Kingdom LE Korhal Compund LE Antiga Shipyard Entombed Valley Metalopolis Shakuras Plateau Tal'Darim Altar Daybreak LE Metropolis LE Ohana LE Disqualification: If a player does not play his match during a given week, he is disqualified and immediately replaced by someone on the waiting list (in the same league, so teams don’t encourage/force their lower level players out). Players will have free reign to define when during the week they can play, and DQ decisions will be based upon which player skips out on the defined time. In order to prove this, players should make match times in the thread or via PM, both of which can be verified. If both players in a match DQ, the round goes into an ace match. In Game rules: 1: No cheating (i.e. map hacks, having teammates tell you what opponent is doing, what have you). This is just for fun, why would you do that? 2: BM is allowable, but no slurs or physical threats. Basically, if it’s even a temp-bannable offense by Blizzard, don’t do it in game. A bit of smack talk can be fun, but it cannot go too far. Good Manners, however, are always encouraged! 3: Violations of the first two rules will result in a DQ. 4: Other team members observing is encouraged. Just don’t use it to tell the players what the opponent is doing. If you lag and you aren’t a player, just get out before they ask you to. 5: Dropping games shall result in a re-game unless if both parties agree that one player had a significant advantage. Disputes will go to me, with a full replay and a brief message on why player X was winning or why it should be a regame. About this, again, don’t be a dick, if your opponent drops after a 40 minute game and it’s 20 supply to 150, don’t dispute the win. Be a good sport and use common sense. This is supposed to be for fun, dammit. If I have missed anything or you have other suggestions, please let me know! Again, this is my proposal, so it is hardly set in stone. | ||

I like the idea of having a fixed system where it's predefined which players from which leagues are gonna play. But if it's bo5 I would do something like Silver - Bronze - Gold - Silver - Gold in the order of the matches, because not only you will have a match from each rank (even if it goes 3-0), but also you can have an escalating quality of games and intensity in the match. I don't like the idea of a double elimination bracket, because then that's not exactly a league, it's a tournament. I think a league should at least have a round robin of some kind before any type of bracket. As for the map pool I think that's the best choice, people in lower leagues don't exactly have the means of practicing in maps that are not in the ladder. Btw, I think we're gonna need to have a NA league and a EU league. | ||

For example, (assuming 2Golds, 2SIlvers And 1Bonze) Gold <> Gold Silver <> SIlver Bronze <> Bronze Gold <> Gold Silver <> Silver Ace <> Ace Its unfair to ask bronze level player to play against golds. This way makes it more fun for everyone. | ||

I'm not entirely sold on my own match format, but I think the league format is pretty solid and feasable for its time frame. Thanks for the nice chart! In general, I like it. 1 match per week I assume, 6-8 weeks is a nice length. When balancing teams, we're not going to show up in teams already, perhaps we can just assign players to teams so they are roughly equal. I wouldn't worry too much about how the player movement happens between seasons. But definitely not all-kill. IMO players in each team are ranked, order them for matches to avoid gold vs bronze followed by bronze vs gold. (* what pStar just said.) I don't think there will be an SEA league...are there enough SEA nominees to make an SEA team in the NA league? Let's get this started! | ||

I would rather form a team of 2 bronze, 2 silver, and 1 gold with four of my friends than 4 randoms with the aforementioned specifications on ranks and such. I want to participate for the fun of playing with my friends. And not all-kill. Like I said, just my opinion on this matter. | ||

Bronze vs Bronze Silver vs Silver Gold vs Gold Platinum vs Platinum Ace Match if needed: Diamond vs Diamond To let everybody play who isn't necessarily competitive, but wants to play in a team league | ||
