"It’s never too late for a boner."
Richard Lu
After a 2 year hiatus the league that had us clashing balls returns to revive our remaining SEA men.
For those unfamiliar with Terror Australis we are one of the older SEA clans and our inhouse team league has been running intermittently since its first BW season in early 2010. As our forums are archaic this blog will be used for weekly lineups, VODs and results as the season progresses.

TAPL IV will have a regular season of 10 weeks with the top 4 teams advancing to the playoffs.
The playoffs will be double set with a super ACE if sets are tied 1-1. The 4th seed plays the 1st and the 2nd plays the 3rd. Winners play the following week.

Lineups:
Will be released on Thursday night each week via TA facebook and re-posted here.
+ Show Spoiler +
Captains that don’t submit by 10pm Thursday will have their lineup randomized.
During the regular season you may not play the same ace player twice in a row, regardless of the time between a team's ace matches.
In the playoffs you can play each player on your roster a maximum of two times. Including any ACE and Super ACE matches.
Reserves can be used to replace players who can't make it.
1v1 lineup changes involving a race switch close Friday 8pm.
Same race subbing is allowed without notice (e.g. replace a Terran with a Terran). Replacements of a different race are only allowed at short notice if the opponent agrees to it.
Racepicking is allowed, though if two mutually exclusive racepickers meet their ‘main’ race will be used – that is the race that features in most of their matchups. If all 3 races are represented by a racepicker a present admin will choose their race. You cannot race pick at short notice, it must be listed in the lineup.

Match Scheduling:
The official meet up time is still 8pm AEST every Sunday on the SEA server. However, games may be played before this (and on other servers) if agreed upon with your opponent. If you have not contacted your opponent or an admin by 9pm Sunday you are liable to be replaced or give up a walkover. All games should be played by 11pm on Sunday excluding ace matches which can be scheduled for Monday/Tuesday if necessary.
It is the winner’s responsibility to save and send the replay to sotanath@hotmail.com or an admin via facebook/skype.
Map Pool:
+ Show Spoiler +
A rotation of all current and late-WoL ladder maps with a retro inclusion each week. The older maps will hopefully appeal to inactive players and reward preparation.
Scoring:
+ Show Spoiler +
3 points for a win
1 bonus point for a loss in the ace match or by 1 in differential (e.g. 2-1 with a DNP)
1 bonus point for a 4:0 win
The pimpest play of each week will also score a bonus point for that player’s team.

Prize: TBD but will likely involve free coaching and buttrubs as we are low on eSports dollars.
Contacts: TA Facebook, TA Skype Chat and Teamspeak.
To ensure this season doesn’t end up like the last we could use another volunteer admin and anyone who’d like to do the odd informal stream/vod commentary. Basically if you have applicable skills (writing/graphics/analysis etc.) contributions would be appreciated.
