You play each person 3 times across the season in separate best of 3 series if I understand correctly, AKA triple round robin.

Thanks Tek! So if 30-50 players join there’d be 90-150 best of 3 series, sounds fun!  

Triple RR seems like a bit much to me tbh, double RR is more common/standard. Especially for a league of this size.

Anyways, if you wanna put a tag by my name to make me easier to find, go ahead and add (Solace).  

i wanna join idk my name but i'm the leader of Hummmingbird


only logs on once evry blue moon  

In regards to the league itself, will there be a league table that is able to be viewed by people that is updating during the event?

I also wouldnt go over 50 players for the league, or 64 as the absolute max otherwise people will be having to spar more than 1 person 3 matches a day in order to get them all done , and anyone who has to be offline for a few days may end up missing a lot of spars

50 was the cutoff number I was thinking about as well.

As far as a table, I'm probably going to use something like challonge.com for bracketing. It will have everyone's names in there and you'll be able to see the pts ETC

So yes  

Sweet, looking forward to this  

I won't be making the brackets until a few days before the league starts, just because I expect people to drop, last minute sign-ups, etc  

tf I can't edit that 2nd post anymore for some reason.... RIP

F.A.Q

Q: How long will the Season last?
A: The season will begin January 1st and end March 15th. During this time, participants are expected to finish all spars with their opponents on their own time. March 16th, points will be calculated and March 17th will be the live twitch drawing of the brackets for playoffs.


Q: How much do I have to spar?
A: You will need to spar each participant in a best of 3 series, THREE times total for the season.
One best of 3 = a match
You must have 3 matches with every participant and you will have from January 1st to March 15th to complete these matches.
Win = +3 Pts
Loss = +1 Pts

Q: Can I refuse a spar?
A: You can refuse a match within reason, but multiple refusals to spar, especially towards the end of the season, will subject you to forfeit the match. You will lose 2 points and your opponent will gain 3.
You are allowed to refuse a spar if you just completed a match. Meaning, you don’t have to have all 3 of your matches at once if you don’t want to. This is perfectly acceptable, as we all have bad days.
You are allowed to complete all 3 of your matches in one sitting if you and your opponent agree to it, but each match will need to be recorded separately for documentation purposes.

Q: How are the matches documented?
A: Every match must be recorded, either by the sparrers themselves or anyone else who wishes to record. We will then upload the match to YouTube with uniform naming format so the match can be easily found and verified. Once verified, your points will be added or deducted.

Q: Do I need to join (GSL) or (GSL2)?
A: No, but you should. These are just guilds used as tools to help players find an opponent or match recorder in a faster manner. You will be able to look up your opponents in one place on the guild member list. Expect to see a lot more tags in the future and especially during the season.

My suggestions in the order that I would do them:
1. Create a small team of capable individuals that will work out the logistics before getting started.
2. Create a format with initial rules and other important information. (rules will be added from problems that start to happen)
3. Create divisions and a match schedule that makes sense (like the nfl)(say A B C D and E are in the same division, they wll spar each other 3-6 times and 1-2 times with the other players)
4. Matches should be best of 10 series with sudden death for ties.
5. w = 1 point and L=0 (makes it much easier and it will have the same result)
6. Make the first 3 tournaments a month long and use them kind of like a beta test. This will give you some experience to improve the league.  

They really should make a Spar mega thread here zZ

I really like all these suggestions/

The only one I'm unsure of is the best of 10 series for each match, since I'm asking for 3 matches total. Maybe improve it to ... First to 5 wins? Or best of 5?

The playoffs will be best of 10 for sure.

The League won't start until Jan 1 so we have plenty of time to make changes or format. No one has reached out to help with writing out rules etc, but I do have a lot of people who have messaged me in-game wanting to be match recorders

I don't know how you are planing to keep track and inform the contestants of the schedule, but if you give me enough time and the info being I can do a basic sheet for you guys. All you would do is input the wins and points.
