Updated with a Map Pool too!

Rules that may differ to the higher tiers, and Maynarde and I are currently nutting them out:
-Race Picking (probably allowed, but must remain 1 race each week, cannot play a Bo3 with different races)
-Line up announcement (Higher tiers are required to submit their full line up 24/48 hours before the match 1-4, this may not be the case in tier 5 - we might allow line ups to be made at the start of the match (however all 5 players announced before the match starts to an admin - neither team knows the other teams line up until both have announced).
-Line up order (if a team announces (for example) 2 bronze, 1 silver, 1 gold and a plat Ace - they must play in that order, Match 1 will be Bronze, Match 2 Bronze, Match 3 Silver etc... any league may play in the Ace position, and in the case two players from the same league, the manager must speculate which order they play in.
-Subs (changes to a teams Roster, between 3-5 subs will be permitted to make changes to a teams roster

These rules are not final, just giving you an idea of how we are customising the rules to suit tier 5
Any suggestions are welcome...

What does a change to the roster entail? I understood the subs to be used in other leagues where a player couldnt make it - given that we play with whatever players turn up and are online thursday, how do the subs work?

Also just another query - what happens if a team only has 4 players one week? is a single game forfeited (ace match or normal match?) or it is a walk-over?

You are correct, in other leagues subs are used to change the line up for the match, week to week.. however, due to the fact that many BSG level players are irregular in their activity we thought it would be better to allow the line ups to be announced at the start of the match.. however teams will have to tell an admin of their line up, before both teams know who they are versing.. as far as the subs that you have in this tier... they are subs to change your teams overall roster. so if a player wishes to join your team half way through the season, you can use a sub to add them.. if you have any changes or additions to your roster, post them here. The rosters are locked after Thursday - but until them you can freely change your line up... just post here before the end of Thursday.
