The league cancelled

[spidey]

This league is going to be based on a league that I tried to get into when i first started conquerclub. A few of you may remember it being ran by podge. Anyways, I really liked the idea and so I'm going to do one.

THE SEASON
The season will last seven rounds.
Everybody in their respective division will play once in each round
A round will consist of two four player games for each division
At the end of the season:
The league winner will earn the right to choose the map for the new season
The two players at the bottom of division one will be relegated to division two
The two players at the top of division two will be promoted to the first division
The two players at the bottom of division two will be relegated to division three
The two players at the top of division three will be promoted to the second division
The two players at the bottom of division three will drop out of the league and be replaced by the next two on the waiting list
You can not be on the waiting list if you are already playing in the league
If you are eliminated from the league you may rejoin the waiting list only at the end of the season

DEADBEATS AND NON STARTERS
You will have 24 hours to join your game from the time I send out the invite. If you don't join your game I will send out one reminder invite and if you don't join that game you will be replaced.
Places left vacant will be filled by the next available player(s) on the waiting list and will take over the current points of the vacant player

UNEXPECTED ABSENCE AND HOLIDAYS
If you are going to be away or can not for any reason join your game you will be allowed to have a substitute play the games for you
You must pm me the substitutes name before I issue the invites for the games.
You must pm me when you are ready to resume play in the league
Substitutes can not play for more than four rounds in any season

FORMAT
All games will be played on the same map (Australia)
All games will be terminator, sequential, escalating cards, unlimited fortifications
All games will produce two results, example: (player 1's objective will be to beat player 2, and player 3 will be trying to beat player 4 or vice versa)
All games will have 9 rounds to achieve a result

SCORING
You will be awarded 5 points if you eliminate your opponent from the game within the rounds specified
You will be awarded 3 points if one of the other players in the game eliminates your opponent within the rounds specified and you have not yet been eliminated.
You will be awarded 1 point if you have not been eliminated within the rounds specified
You will be awarded 0 points if you have been eliminated within the rounds specified
Each player may only score once in each game
Tie breakers at the end of the season will be determined by who ever has the most total kills throughout the season

I will be trying to send out games every second sunday so that means you should only need one spot available to play, in theory. If there is more interest then 24 players, I might expand it to more divisions or do a pyramid system for the leagues.
If there are any questions please feel free to ask away.

When players get knocked out, do they get knocked out permanently, or do they go to a reserve pool? And how big is the reserve pool? Will it always be set, or will there always be open signups for reserves?

i am assuming you mean at the end of the season, and no they don't get knocked out permanently. They get put at the bottom of the reserve pool. There will always be a reserve pool and will always be open signups. If the reserve pool gets really big then I will increase the amount of divisions.

Have updated the rules and format so hopefully it is more clear for everyone.

I'd like to play.
Just a few things I'd like clarification on
a) how do you determine the starting divisions?
b) Does it just go forever or is there a certain number of Seasons before there is a winner?
c) I could use some clarification on the scoring. So we all have 1 "opponent" in each 4 player game. And our primary goal is to kill that person. correct?

thanks

I'd like the same answers as the commander and also would like to know how this is considered a tournament? I like the idea, but not sure if it's really in the right section
