Excellent idea
Some clarification on the rules though please :P
So who announces first during the first round and when teams are on even points?
The teams will be seeded into the league table so one team will always be higher than the other.

What if I decide to build my 3rd queen before my 2nd hatch but eventually get the other hatches? (BTW I often get a creep-dedicated queen, guess we aren't allowed that?)
As the rule states, queen number must not exceed hatch number. Sacrifice an inject to spread your creep.

No drop. Your overlords may scout.
And yes, medivacs and warp prisms count as units. medivac + ultra = good combo.

Like Asrathiel said, thanks for the questions and the input so far. We don't want hassle during the league so it's best to get clarifications and new rules out now.
Can you please clarify when you post in the topic that you are a single/paired etc. competitor also. Just to make it easier for compilation of teams later on. I'm encouraging you to play 4v4 ladder games to practice.
My 4v4 ladder ranking is completely made up of monobattling much to the annoyance of random team mates on ladder.
wouldn't it be better for teams to alternate announcing players' units? (start with the higher ranked team i guess?)
do it during a pause at the start of the game and it doesn't give one team a massive advantage/possible abusive behaviour by 'accidentally' taking 90 seconds to announce their units

i guess i need to learn how to play now...
Static defenses and detectors are allowed (observer, overseer, raven) but may only be used for detection (unless raven or overseer are the chosen unit)
Does this mean you can't use cannons, PF's, spine crawlers offensively? Or can you use them anywhere you want?
Also with the one player must be rule, I assume that means one of the four playing (if you have a fifth sub). Can you choose who that is week by week?
It will be odd playing monobattle with unit choice, we've always just go random race, random unit in the monobattle maps on NA. I guess there is a lot of strategy in picking the right combo of units, might have to practice that.

Hmm... I know Day9 had used spines offensively in monbattles before... I'll say tentative yes from me on that one...

I've never played on the monobattles maps! You could think strategically, or just say whatever first comes into your head and see what happens ^_^
The monobattle maps are really good, if you go banelings, your lings cant attack ever, so you cant accidently use them etc. Good for games with random people or people who don't really understand monobattle, as they can't break the rules.
The other thing one of monobattle maps does is disabled the queens attack, so you can build as many queens as you like and disables the healing of medivacs if you dont pick medivacs. (Some just disable them completely).
Its a shame they never bothered to put them up on SEA.
Although at least here we shouldn't have anything to worry about, just have to make sure to morph transition units instantly (that or burrow the lings / don't build DT's for archons so you cant accidently use them lol)
The last rule says:
Does this mean you can't use cannons, PF's, spine crawlers offensively? Or can you use them anywhere you want?
Cannon rushing, pf contain and spine pushing is an essential part of any good monobattle strategy.
Each match, someone must be random race, doesn't matter who. You can all go random race if you want and pick your units on the fly. That's generally the way I play.
