We need more sign ups now!

Honestly numbers are close already. We could do draft next week anyways since we'll have a week of getting teams ready then superbowl so there would be a two week gap. Might aswell just give an extra week of sign ups then one week off.

I count 29 thus far. I also only see 4 teams signed up still awaiting Artic's team for 5 and I guess the 6th fell through. 5x8=40 40-29=11 So things look good to start soon.

The long awaited return of a PvP League on Freedom is finally here.

Lets keep it simple.

Rules that have been decided by captains:

• Round Length: All rounds will be 10 minutes in length by default. If both team captains are agreeable, 20 minutes rounds are permissible.
• Round Settings: All rounds will be set with only the following options selected: No Travel Suppression; No Heal Decay; Small Inspirations Only, Super Heavyweight.
• Map Selection and Illegal Maps: Map selection will alternate for the first two rounds of a match; the defending team picks the map in round 1, and the challenging team picks the map for round 2. Third round will be set to Random map selection. The Monkey Cage, and Office maps are not permitted in any round; resets occur if any of those maps are drawn for rounds requiring random map selection.
• Each team is allowed one reset within 60 seconds of round start if a player did not load into the round, disconnected, or loaded in off-team. Teams will play short-handed if their reset has been spent. If a round is reset, the line-ups submitted for that round are to be played again with no AT alterations and on the same map.
• Only small inspirations and temp powers bought from the Arena Store are allowed. No Base Buffs or special inspirations (i.e. Presents and SoWs) are permitted.
• Barcode-type names will not be permitted. Player names shall be easily distinguishable.
• No Ouroboros portals will be permitted during the match.
• All matches must start within 15 minutes of the agreed upon match time. This includes time required to submit and approve line-ups.
• Match Results: The captain of the winning team must post the match results. Both team captains should be prepared to supply screenshots of the results for all rounds if necessary.
• Limit of 3 Stalkers
• Limit of 2 Tanks/Brutes
• Limit of 7 Blasters
• Limit of 2 MMs
• No spawn camping (attacking or mezzing a player that has just died and is at the spawn point, if a player decides to remain at the spawn point for over 30 seconds they are then able to be targetted)
• Must have at least 2 visible players on the map at end of match
• Must field 6 players minimum
• Redrafts week 2 and week 4 when people can be kicked from team due to inactivity.
• Captains have the option to remove a player from team even if active if they are being a detriment to the team.
• Captains may not trade themselves.
• Each team will play each team once with 3 matches played a win is worth 1 a loss is worth 0.
• The top 4 teams will enter into a play off after the regular season has ended 1v4 2v3 winners face off for championship.
• Teams will start with a minimum of 4 a maximum of 6 players. Those with less then 6 will get to draft players to reach 6 prior to the regular draft starting.
• Those 6 will be your core and core players may be replaced at any time (aside from Sundays) your other 8 players will be replaced in redrafts (weeks 2 and 4)
• Draws are replayed with new lineups submitted and team that had map pick retains map pick.

Free Agent Thread:

The real issue is that new people will not download test. People will not watch the matches like they will on freedom which will create new pvpers. In hopes of giving one last breath to a dying pvp it is best to have it on freedom and just deal with the issues we have with that instead of the issues of less pvpers. Yes I know the argument that we can have more people from other servers but it just does not work out. Lets focus on getting this going and if we end the league with 6 full teams maybe the next one we go to test.

There is atleast one more captain that has not posted in this thread so I count 6 serious captains and I am pretty sure those 6 can keep their teams active throughout the league. I'm rather shocked but extremely happy with the response to this. If only the Devs would lend a hand and give us some free server transfers things would be perfect. Since no one has said a time or date yet lets shoot for Wednesday the 12th at 9pm for the meeting. We will post a free agent thread after that and get things rolling. Id like to have a "showcase" prior to the draft so that free agents can show their level of skill (Something along the lines of a few kickballs).

Im liking what has been discussed thus far. I would like to set up a time for the captains and concerned bystanders to talk about this on vent (even though vent sucks) Wednesday the 12th or wait till Sunday the 16th? 9pm est? Let me know what you guys think.
