The divisions will still get adjusted, especially with this many empty slots remaining. But mixing up the maps will be part of that decision. Some of the leagues as they sit right now are heavy in certain maps...I'll switch it up so that balances out at least to some extent.

Heading into the final weekend of sign-ups and we'll finalize the leagues and get the season started.

Can I set my home settings/map to World 2.1, flat, chute, trench?
Meant to leave feedback at the end of last year but completely forgot, but not a fan of the region maps in these tournaments, the players have no say over it and if you get one you don't like/don't enjoy, then you're stuck playing it all season.
I'm also not a fan of all the randoms being esc. Maybe it's your favorite setting or for simplicity you just go with esc. but think it might be more fun if you change it up. Maybe different leagues are different spoils. ncaa is esc, nfl is flat, mls is nukes, etc. Or maybe 1 is esc and the other two are determined by the players home settings.
Regardless, love your tournaments Flex! Appreciate all the work that I know goes into them. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback....
I choose escalating with random because to me it seems like the most fair 1 vs. 1 setting if you are going to include spoils. (although I could argue for nuke on that, too). But I can see the value is changing it up in ways.

Welcome in j1...my food sickness is your blessing

We were are at odd number, so happy to add you in and even us up at 52 teams...much easier to run a tourney with an even number.
Sorry all been out a week with aforementioned illness...that has delayed the start of the season. But working on getting schedules together and the first games out this weekend.

Still a good number of unbeaten teams in the mix, but it is James Madison that tops the initial top-20 poll of the season. Well done Dukes, and here's hoping your football team gets into the real College Football Playoff too !!!

Asked the same question yesterday. Its because they are preseason tournament games. They are all on the same map.

Congrats to coach aaronvollrath and the Oregon State Beavers on being the first winner of a holiday tournament this season. That secures the Beavers a 6th-man power-up to be used in the postseason.
