Custom Tier 5 rules

+ Show +

THESE RULES OVER-RIDE ANY RULES LISTED BELOW
Ok guys, here's the old rules with the new rules. Chad and I have discussed em some more and think it's pretty fair but it's of course up for discussion. Line ups are needed from every team before WEDNESDAY 9pm AEDT so we have a little time to talk about them before locking anything in. REALLY reluctant to change any rules while a season is active unless there's a glaring issue.

1. Submit your LINE UP (5 players) 24 HOURS before play time.

2. Your starting line up has 1 WILDCARD A WEEK to cover no-shows, 4 SUBS for full line up.

3. Players go out in LEAGUE ORDER.
If there are a bunch that are the same league, then you can bring them out whatever order you wish. I think anyone that has seen a lot of BSG games will agree that there's a pretty huge skill gap between an and an . It won't be a close game. ChadMann feels pretty strongly about keeping this rule.

4. You must CHANGE ONE PLAYER of your playing line-up weekly

5. Teams going out to play must have NO MORE than 3 PLAT (OR 2 Plat 1 Diamond).
Again, this is in the interest of everyone getting a chance and no team being too OP. This particular rule may be removed in the event of many many promotions. I'll be happy to remove it when most players are Plat or higher because then that means the idea behind the Tier is working

If I'm forgetting any rules I'll edit this post

Misc. Rules / FAQ

+ Show +

1. If a player disconnects before 2.00 game time, the game MUST be replayed.
2. If a player disconnects between 2.00 and 9.59 game time, the game can be replayed if the other player agrees.
3. If a player disconnects after 10.00 game time, the game will NOT be replayed and will be counted as a loss. Blame your internet connection, not the admins.
4. A walkover will result by a 3-0, in favor of the victim team. The team in fault will be considered as losing a 5-0 game.
5. All the games have to be played, even if a team already lost the three first games, the two remaining games will have to be played. If a team refuse to play the remaining games, they will be counted as a individual losses.
6. Maps will be sourced from the Battle.net ladder and competitive maps (ESL, MLG, GSL, etc.) and be indicated before every the start of the competition.
7. Teams failing to contact their opponent's manager or agree on a designated play time will be designated a time by an admin. Failure to show at this time will result in a forfeit.
8. So far the head admins are TCPfrogmite.365 but more may be announced.
9. So far streaming of games is based on volunteers and not every round or match is guaranteed a stream. There will be an official stream for each division. The caster will be free to get a co-caster or not. He will have priority towards other streamers.
10. The prize is a clan logo thanks to TCPmagik. Once the finalists are determined from league play it is the clan leader's responsibility to discuss creative decisions with myself or magik regarding their possible clan logo. Magik is very talented and is doing it for free, as a service for SEA community. Always keep that in mind when you discuss with him about your logo.

[Volition]

There are some good teams. As for strong teams, i think the following teams would have to consider themselves frontrunners in this league:-

TA Edarus and Friends;
QED Platinum Prototype;
TCP Marinu Dropu <-- i think these guys are the favourites, like the lineup.

But then this league wont always be about who is the strongest on paper, it will depend on who can field the best team week in, week out. And there is a chance for some really good breakout performances. Dont be surprised if the following teams do really well:-

AsG Perth Penguins - never underestimate a RL team, i suspect they will be fielding a solid team week in week out that will get them to the playoffs.
FaDe - given that it is a 10 week period, if these guys get together with some good plat or diamond practice partners they could be a real threat.

This isnt to say the other teams dont have a shot. I think the teams that make the finals will be the ones that field good solid teams week in week out. add to that i dont think the skill difference between silver and plat is THAT great, if all teams work hard there could be quite a few upsets this season.

Zerocraft fighting!!!!

[asdfSchnitzel]

So just checking, are we playing on the 12th and every Thursday after that?

[deL]

I think the league starts next week, Schnitzel.

Quick Comments

asdfSchnitzel:

Ok thanks

[krycek]

Probably already been stated but some teamates asked if a player that has played in game 1-4 can play the ACE match, i told them well,, pretty much no. So just wanna clarify can a player that has already played participate in the ACE match
ps sorry so long >.<

[rezyn8]

Just a question, what is the reasoning of allowing a full Platinum team into a BSG league?

I don't necessarily mind as it adds a bit of a challenge but I thought there was a specific league for PD?

Also could you please fix the name for FaDe in the tables (iFaDe & FaDe-Tier4 is incorrect) the BSG team is collectively known as 'FaDe BSG Ballers'

[inFeZa]

This league should be BSG only.

[rezyn8]

Another FaDe update:

Halstrom has been promoted to Gold > FaDeHalstrom.629 - gg!

In regards to the full Plat team in a "BSG" league, Frogmite said in one of the other threads that the teams were given points based on what league the players were in. So a small team could be in a lower division even though they have slightly stronger players. Might have to wait for the man himself to confirm but I believe this is why.

Firstly, I agree with what Badger said, i think teams were given points on strength. These guys were willing to play in the PD competition (meaning they would probably get smashed, knew it, and signed up anyway).

I dont mind them being in the league. I think there are some players on Zerocraft that can mix it with them, and it is an 11 week competition. and besides, someone has to be the favourite. Also, Tier 4 already has 12 teams.

[x5_Potter]

Just to add on to the plat team discussion, I think a lot of teams will do better against the all plat team than against other teams, as they'll be trying to prove a point that they can compete with plat players.

[nirvAnA]

Thanks guys for the feedback, the idea behind frogmite's "no league restriction" was so as not to discourage promotion and people getting better as the season progressed. previously some people were forcing themselves to stay in certain leagues just so they could play for their team.

however we were talking yesterday about 1-2 teams which dont look "right" in his league and there might be a better solution like league restrictions i.e max 1 player above diamond per matchday or recalibrating the way we ranked teams.

Anyway some teams look like they are going to drop out after the compliance test and QED can be moved up to tier 4. Also we are thinking of a solution to deal with having plats in tier 5. Don't worry a fix is coming soon!

Quick Comments

	Bugalugs McScruffin:	SEACL Patch 1.1 incoming. :D Keep up the good work.
	ToRMaverick:	Cant wait to see what you come up with... but imo all plats it a little rough on many of the true BSG teams.

[Zealo]

if they are too strong they'll get promoted next season and things will be fine, there's no team in tier 4 you could consider swapping them with. bigger issues to worry about imo

The only issue with this is the teams that will get stomped by an all team this season. Still, this is what the new format is for, so we'll see how they go, or even if they stay in this division for this season.
