At this stage the matches are: 5xBo3's all worth 1 point.
TA Edarus and Friends have a bye this week, they will face the winner of Match A in week 2.
Reschedules and no show ruling - As with Week 11 we can not be waiting around for un-announced reschedules to be played so if no warning is given, or a inadequate excuse then Walk Overs will be awarded (Walk overs awarded strictly by Admin approval only). If there is an expected reason to reschedule, organise that between the two team captains with a dead line of Mid night Monday 9th for the match to be played, that is, for example Player from team A is unavailable and needs reschedule but can not make a time before Tuesday, the match will be walked over or a sub used. Sub allowance - As this is the Play offs, no team wants to see the results secured by Walk overs - therefore teams will be give 2 subs to use each week; for emergency replacement of no-show players etc.

Any caster interested to cast one of these games, please let us know!
Big thanks to chad and Maynarde for running this and setting the playoffs up. I really hope at least the grand final gets casted gl to everyone playing.
I just hope the Week 1 Matches played the night before Good Friday doesnt rule out too many people. I presume quite a few people will be traveling to get to family before the Easter Weekend...I guess we will see.
not going to complain either way (i'd prefer option 2, with 6 players per team) but we are going to need to organise a few reschedules and we obviously can't do that until the format is finalised
___________________________________
i guess i need to learn how to play now...
I would be very surprised if Zerocraft could actually do 6 bo3s a week. i think we actually only have 6 active players at the moment. It has been 5 all season, why change it now?

I think it's just 6 to get rid of the tie issue, that's why the 5 1 point Bo3's should have been the format all season IMO.

I really liked the possibility of a tie, and of 1 game being worth more points than the others each week - i think it was a great format. The ace games added some hidden spice, and added an element of strategy to the games - as opposed to just slugging out with 5 players week in week out.
So we will have the first game on 5 april, then second round on what - 12 april? Just to deal with this issue now, that is going to be the start of a new season. I would anticipate that a fair few players from the 5 remaining teams will make diamond, esp from the powerhouse teams like perth penguins and TA. I dont want to see anyone lose games to ensure they dont get promoted, so i think we should consider amending the rule to be:-
1) each team must have (at least) 2 golds or lower; and
2) the other three spots can be anything
dont get me wrong, this pretty much destroys Zerocraft's chances of winning the competition (as we are wholly reliant on only facing 1 diamond a week that we can hope to snipe), but i thought i would throw out my 2c now before the promotions actually occur and there is suddenly an influx of people arguing for or against certain systems (which generally look completely biased, just saying).
It would be nice to agree on a system now before the promotions actually occur... if that is possible.

I like these rules; it doesn't rule out anybody.
With S7 coming up there will be some promo's in the system; it would be sad to think that this would change the lineups for the playoffs.
We could also just make it that the ranks that everybody is now (we update the front screen - and that's the way it stays) is what they have in the playoffs.
Good point Volition - we will look at the promotions when they come up and make a decision from there. At this stage there will be 5xBo3's worth 1 point each (Managers vote was basically tied, with Maynarde casting the decider). We will re-evaluate and discuss the format after this week and see what managers prefer and if Possible - we will incorporate as many games as possible into the final.. I think it would be fun to have 9xBo3's to decided the winner.. ^_^
