- Nationalities were updated on the tables

- A note in parenthesis in the play-offs section was added

- aldostiglitz's nationality is missing

- maps for the GGCL and GGCC were set!

- More red letter rules were added in the 1st post.

I think round 12 (for 1st division anyway) P1/P2 assignments are reversed of what they should be. As the matches are dictated right now players 1,2,4,7,8,10 would be P1 12 times and players 3,5,6,9,11,12 would be P1 10 times.

Not to be nitpicky, but there should be a little Canadian flag next to my name, instead of an American one.

Question: will you be reshuffling the divisions based on the latest Top 200's up until closer to the start date, or just sticking with the current order? Just curious

Thanks. It should be fixed now

You aren't being nitpicky at all buddy. Thanks for correcting. The Canadian flag was added.

Answer: I'll stick the current order. I would just "change" the ranks if a recently appeared better ranked player signs up. If someone becomes higher ranked than other in these next weeks, it won't count to modify the tables.

For example, Alvendor doesn't appear because he's not in the OT Official Rank, which proves to be not that active. But if he plays and appears on the rank, and signs up, rank tables should be changed. Almost same case with LER4T. He hasn't signed up. Maybe he's busy with the WC semi-finals or maybe he thinks he couldn't be able to become that active to play the 22 matches of this league.

Let's see anyway.

This is a great idea and I hope it is successful!

I have to say though that if you wanted to promote Adorable play even further than it already is in the official league, your map choice should do the trick. Thorn Gulley is notoriously Adorables favored with Long Nine not far behind. Thorn Gulley should be obvious, Long Nine perhaps not as much, but according to the Outwitters data sharing initiative that is the case. Fortunately players can also pick Veggienauts for Thorn Gulley, but I still think you may consider switching out either Thorn Gulley or Long Nine for something else before the league starts. It's not such a big deal, but I would like to see some greater team diversity than what we see at the top of the official league.

I did a brief analysis of the main teams used by the top 50 players (based on 8/22 ranking) in Outwitters over the past few month and I found that:

0 players mained Veggienauts
6 players mained Feedback
9 players mained Scallywags
35 players mained Adorables

If I can still sign up, I'd really like to participate. Just learned about it this morning.

HA. My bad. Just sent.

Question about the match-ups. With every map being used twice for each player, and every player having equal P1/P2 matches, shouldn't each player have a P1 and a P2 match on each map? Wouldn't that make the most sense? Because currently that is not the case.

Currently that's the case.

P1 = Player ranked #1
P2= Player ranked #2
P3 = Player ranked #3

If you realize, for example, in round 2 (Glitch), Player ranked #1 plays as Player 1, while in round 14 he plays on Glitch as Player 2.
