Welcome to the 4th installment of my NHL Season tournaments!
CONSIDER CAREFULLY BEFORE JOINING!
This tournament will require a long-term investment by all participants. Everyone will be playing a minimum of 82 games, with a potential for as many as 110 played by the winner and/or runner-up. As such, this tourney will span much of the calendar year. Also, if you are a high ranking player who is afraid to lose points to lower-ranked players in 1v1 tournaments, then this league probably isn't for you.
SIGNING UP
All participants must select an approved map (more on that below) and an NHL team to represent. All games are 1v1, and each team will be following the full NHL schedule, meaning you'll play 82 regular season games.

[spoiler=Game Load]I will be sending out games weekly. Who you play will be based loosely on each team's actual schedule. I will create 3 home games per team each week. This means each player will play a minimum of 3 games a week, an average of 6, and as many as 10. It fluctuates because of the individual schedules, but all evens out by the end. The regular season will last approximately 14 weeks.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Playoffs]The League is divided into two Conferences, and each Conference is divided into two Divisions. At the end of the regular season, the top three teams in each division automatically qualify for the playoffs. The final two spots go to the remaining teams within the conference with the highest point totals, regardless of conference. These two teams are the "wild cards". The Division winner with the highest point total will play the wild card with the lowest total. The 2nd Division winner will play the wild card team with the higher point total. The 2nd and 3rd place teams within the Division will face each other. The winners of this round advance to face each other, within the Division. The third round will be the Conference Championships, with the two winners advancing to play in the Stanley Cup Finals. All playoff rounds will be best-of-seven.[/spoiler]
MAPS
All participants must select an approved "home map", from the list below. Maps have been chosen based on initial number of territories and initial troops, as well as basic game play. This serves to eliminate map specialists and allow the best players to shine, rather than an individual who is an expert on any particular "complicated" map. Once play begins, maps are locked in, and not permitted to be changed, with the exception of a replacement player; they will be allowed to either play on the map they are replacing for, or select a new available map from the list.
