I haven't consulted with the team yet but this is my take of it which is a rouge indication so these rules are subject to change, upon what we discuss when frogmite etc get back which we will soon make into official rules.
FAQ
Can I add players to a roster mid-season? Can I trade players between rosters mid-season?
Yes, this sounds reasonable and there will probably a one week window in the middle of the season where you can transfer or add players.
Can I switch races mid-season?
You can switch races any time throughout the season but will have to play your set according to the race you submitted in the match day submission lineup, as the opponent might have prepared for it. Can you change your race for the next week? Yes, as long as that race is displayed in the next submitted lineup. Can you race pick after your first game during the set? No.
Is the current plan for all matches to be thursday nights?
For now we are thinking of Tuesday & Thursday so weekends can be kept free for non-starcraft activities or to prevent clashes with major tournaments like ESL, ACL, Masters cup, etc. CO will still be on Wednesday.
Changing the day/time of Bo3s or the entire match? Default matchday time?
Default day will be at a specified time on Tuesday or Thursday depending on the league you are in. The default day can ONLY be changed if BOTH teams agree, and the admin must be informed ASAP. Should you not show up on the default match day, the other team is awarded the walkover win. If you have both already agreed to change the date and should you not show up on agreed changed date, the other team is awarded the walkover win.
This is the easiet way, to specify a default time otherwise teams are going to have a headache finding a convenient time and one team usually ends up comprising at the expense of themselves. The default time forces both teams to "compromise" in a fair manner and it is also why you should have at least 8 players in your team.
Do all players for match have to start at same time?
The default is either everyone plays concurrently. But if both teams choose to play the matches one by one that is fine too but ONLY if both teams agree. This is to avoid 1) complications of different start times. 2) very long match days (5xBo3s one by one will take some time)
Are any of the rules up to the individual admins who are overseeing their own section/tier of the league? Say if I help out with tier 2 can I have a different rule system to what the admin for tier 1 or 3 might use?
No, rules (disconnecting/walkovers/etc) are to be standardised throughout the league, I don't see why there should be a different rule set. But there might be a different format or slight variations in the format. Also should an admin who belongs to the team have his team get involved into a dispute, the other admins will make the decision on what happens for fairness.
