The Speed League - Season 3 [Winner: DJ Teflon]

Teflon Kris · Post by **Teflon Kris** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 11:32 am

The Speed League - Season 3

The winner of Season 3 was DJ Teflon

This tournament operates on Fridays, 10.30PM BST (5.30PM EST)

Speed fixtures will commence on 24 July (for 5/6 weeks)

The tournament follows on from previous speed league seasons: Trans-Atlantic Speed League & European Speed League (with some simplifications).

It will start as soon as we have sufficient sign-ups (17+).

In a more simplified format to previous seasons - the league will involve each player playing 4 casual 4-player games to start off (playing most of the other competitors). Players will play up to 5 speed matches. There will be one large division.

Some commitment is required although it is not necessary to play every week. If you are interested, please read all of the details carefully before posting your interest. Players must be premium (to play speed games) and have a 97% attendance record.

Speed Match Arrangements

Spoiler

Speed matches will be set-up every friday for 5 consecutive weeks (6 including the final). Players available on any particular week must PM the tournament organiser between 10.00PM BST and 10.15PM BST (5.15PM EST) to state they are available, They will then be sent links to join the available games by 10.30PM BST (they will then need to join by 10.30PM BST or risk missing-out). I will aim for 4-player games as much as possible.

If a player notifies the Tournament Organiser that they are available, then fails to join any games (6y 10.45PM BST) they will lose 2 points (as this causes untold problems).

There will therefore be games available each week so that players do not miss out. Players unavailable will simply miss the opportunity to gain points in the league table.

There should also be little turmoil waiting for players to join games - if a game does not fill, players can simply join an alternative game (games for varying numbers.of players will be set-up to ensure that there are no odd-players-out).

Players will be able to play two games simultaneously on one occasion if they anticipate that they miss a week. If players wish to do so they must announce this intention when sending their PM to the tournament organiser on match day. They would then have to miss a week at some point later on.

Note

As the tournament organiser, I retain the right to amend rules. If I feel that something needs changing then I have the right to do if it's fair to everybody and is in the benefit of the tournament.

(Although, if a match needs to be set-up for a number of players not suitable for the next map on the list then the next suitable map will be selected)

Settings

Spoiler

Terminator (to help those working towards terminator medals and share points out a little)
Sequential (as that is fair to all players)
Most games will be Flat Rate - However, each week at least one escalating game will be offerred. All 5-player speed games will be escalating to prevent long games. Casual games will be a mix of flat rate and escalating.
Adjacent (to minimise the advantage of players going first)
Fog of War (to make matches interesting and tactical)

Cup Competition

Spoiler

At the end of the season, there will again be a cup competiton (like the European Speed Cup and the Trans-Atlantic Speed Cup). It will again be a knock-out (bracket) formula with additional players invited to enter.

Joining Casual Matches

Spoiler

Players will be informed when they have a match and will have 24 hours to join. If they fail to do so then they will be ejected from the match which will be re-set with one fewer player.

Casual Build-Up Matches

Spoiler

The position of players after 21 rounds will determine the league points awarded. Any player that has eliminated an opponent scores 1 point (per elimination). Players remaining each score 1 point. This does not apply to speed matches.

Winning Matches

Spoiler

Winners of each match are expected to PM the Tournament Organiser.

Reserves

Spoiler

If a player drops-out part-way through the tournament then we will simply continue without them - results from games involving such a player will still stand.

Partnerships / Regular opponents

Spoiler

Players must inform the tournament organiser if they have a regular partner or opponent that is also featuring in the tournament. The organizer can then ensure these players do not play together to avoid any potential claims of foul play by other players.

If reports of suspected foul play are made and the players in question have not declared that they are regular partners / opponents then they will be both be ejected from the tournament without question or the need for irrefutable evidence.
