Season 10! Catch-Up Week, Playoff Info and Some Reminders

Date November 10, 2011

With many matches still unplayed, we decided to give all teams one catch-up week to finish their remaining matches. The final deadline for Season 10 is now Saturday, 19th November. All matches need to be played and submitted by then or the result will not count and both teams will get a minor warning for an unplayed match after the match deadline. The Season 10 playoff matches will be generated shortly after the catch-up week ends.

  • Season 10 deadline for all season matches is the 19th November
  • It is the responsibility of the teams to schedule their remaining matches with their opponent
  • We will not set default dates for the catchup week, if your opponent is dropped or you have any other issues, please contact an admin
  • Gravelpit and Obscure can be switched out for different maps if both teams agree

Also remember that wildcards used in week 7 are not valid and should be ignored as they would push matches past the season deadline. Please contact an admin if your opponent used a wildcard.

Season 10 Roster Locks

We would like to remind all teams of the roster lock rule:

1.7 Teams are not allowed to use new players from week 7 and onward

Teams may not add new players to their roster during week 7 and following playoffs. Teams may use new players in that time, however only if their opponent agrees.

This means all players that have been added after this post are considered mercs and need approval by the other team. Teams caught using new players without approval from the opponent will face a default loss.

Premiership and Division 1 Playoffs

The Premiership playoffs will follow the trusted format of last seasons. The teams who finished in the top 4 will battle it out to decide who will take home glorious pixel and hardware prizes, but most of all eternal fame.  Starting off, the 4th placed team will play the 3rd placed team. The winner of that match will then have to play the 2nd placed team to decide who enters the grand final against the 1st placed team, and who goes home with the 3rd place prize.

The winners of Division 1A and Division 1B will face off for eternal fame, and mousepads. The winner will promote to Premiership, while the losing team will get a promotion match versus the 7th placed team in Premiership. The Division 1 teams that achieved the admirable feat of reaching 2nd place, will play each-other for a shot at premiership promotion, the winner will have to face the 6th placed Premiership team to decide on both their futures.

We are still fine-tuning the other promotions and relegations to make sure they tie in well with Season 11 and divisions of 8, stay tuned!

    A bug on the map which allows players to see through parts of the map.

    It is fixable in most cases but it can cause severe delays.

    why arent playoffs played in the beginning of next season instead of in this one’s ending?

    Actually makes sense what jonii says, since playing playoffs before the new season (before divisions are being made) promote/reward team stability.
