Ladder League 2008

Ladder League 2008 registration is now open. Matches will be available to be played starting next weekend (March 29th).

Here are the details of the league:

Matches:
There will be two types of matches -- challenge matches, and scheduled matches.
Scheduled matches (3vs3) will be worth more ladder points than challenge matches. Teams will be able to challenge other teams at any time (3vs3 or 2vs2). Scheduled games will be every Sunday.

Ladder System:
The amount of points a team gains or loses after a match will be determined by the ELO rating system. What this means is that lower ranked teams will get more points for a win on a higher ranked team, and a higher ranked team defeating a lower ranked team will get less points.
The maximum points won or lost by a team from a single match will be higher for scheduled matches, and less for challenge matches, as mentioned above. This should promote teams to have many challenge matches during the week without having to worry too much about playing with their top lineup.

Playoffs:
Once the regular season has ended, the top four (or possibly three, TBD) teams will enter into a single round playoff event. During this single game, all teams will participate in a team vs team vs team free for all, last team/player standing wins. The winner of this single event will be deemed winner of the tournament. This event will be held in a larger arena (likely squadwars).

There will also be a similar event for the teams that did not make the playoffs.

Roster size:
8
Squads may split into multiple teams.

Duration:
The playoff game will be held the weekend of May 24.

Hi guys,I hope you've read about the ladder league.
It's going to be a very fun event and a good preparation for the upcoming league season.

The roster size is 10, so I accepted into Externals the first 10 players who signed up in league.t3g.org. No selection was made, nothing like that - just the first people who signed up.

In order to get everybody playing in this event, there will be a second team participating in this ladder league - Externals2. We are not splitting or anything, we are just adapting ourselves to the rules. MaLL is officially in charge of Externals2 and everybody who still did not sign up should sign up to that team in league.t3g.org. Do this ASAP and let's enjoy the ladder league!

Ps.: DO NOT ACCEPT ANY CHALLENGES WHEN I AM NOT AROUND! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE I CAN SPEC AND MAKE A PROFOUND ANALYZE OF THE PLAYERS! THANKS!

Yours,
