Well played for winning an interesting final. And double congrats having also achieved the General Achievement Medal for Most Kills.
Thanks to all who participated - I hope you enjoyed the tournament.
Speed League Season 5 will be coming very soon - details will appear in the Join a Tournament Forum - the probable start date is either 10th or 19th January.
A General Achievement Medal will be awarded to the player who achieves most kills during the league phase of the tournament.
(Please see details under the 'General Achievement Medal' spoiler below for a full explanation of 'kills')
The Speed League is back, operating on Wednesdays and this time with 3 divisions, hundreds of games, more players and running over a 4-and-a-half-hour period and with more flexibility for players.
Players will have a choice of games to join and can play just one game per week or several. Plus, missing a week or two need not prevent players qualifying for the final in week 6.
The tournament began on Wednesday November 10. Players are still welcome to join after this date.
The League stage of the tournament will run over 5 consecutive weeks, at the same time each week. Players can play several games on any week if they wish. The scoring system has been designed to favour players who attend regularly (up to 4 of the 5 weeks). Regular players are therefore more likely to finish in the top places in their chosen division and progress to the Championship Final on week 6 (provisionally 15th December). However, the scoring system also means that players who miss one week are not disadvantaged and those who miss a couple of weeks still have a chance of qualifying with good results.
There are 3 divisions to cater for players' time zones. Each division has a 90-minute game slot. At the end of this time the division moderator is no longer responsible for creating games but players can of course complete on-going games. Players playing in the earlier divisions can also continue playing games in the later division's time slot. At the end of the last division's time slot unfilled games will be dropped by the moderator (although he may extend the time period a short while if he is available).
The European Division will start games each week at 10.30PM UK Time (GMT). Moderator: DJ Teflon. CC Time: 2010-11-10 17:30:00
The Eastern Conference will start games each week at 7PM New York Time (EST). Moderator: HighlanderAttack. CC Time: 2010-11-10 19:00:00
The Western Conference will start games each week at 5.30PM Los Angeles Time (PDT). Moderator: HighlanderAttack. CC Time: 2010-11-10 20:30:00
As CC time is likely to differ from your own time zone, please click the relevant link above to check.
(Your Nationality and Location is not a restriction here - you may join the division most suitable to your Wednesday routine)
If you are interested, please read all of the details carefully before posting your interest. Please indicate which division you wish to play in as first choice. Please also indicate if there is a map you wish to appear each week.
The division you select will be for the duration of the league-stage of the tournament. However, you are free to play league games with players from other divisions (each week's password will be generic to all divisions).
Players must be premium (to play speed games) and have a 97% attendance record.

The european division is still a bit late for me (10:30 pm is already after midnight here), but I'll try it out if I'm around at that time. Wouldn't it be a good idea to discuss things like this in live chat?
