I had a similar idea, but with teams/clans. But i have no time to manage such a league because of RL.

Each team has as many players as they want but on the matchday there have to be at least 3 of them.
Every player from one team has to play against every player from the other team. So there are 9 1vs1s.
And there will be 2 2vs2s where every team send in their best two guys.
For the 2vs2 games you will get 3 points for a win and for the 1vs1s 1 point.

So this would be completely independent from the ladder. It's more like a clan league...

Maps and details can be discussed...

What do you think?

The idea is that you are playing against a smaller pool of players, with one BO3 match a week. Hopefully this will increase the competitiveness. Also with the addition of winning/loosing bonus points.

I think I mainly wanted to see how a league style tourney would do, with the possibility of expanding it to a multi league system if it is successful.

seems the same for me, but with teams(2 players should be best imo) could it be quite fun. maybe call it teamladder then.

isnt that more or les exactly the point of the 1v1 ladder ?
winning gives you points and losing will reduce them. and than you get in a higher league.

Intergalactic Supremacy League

2014-09-27T15:25:54+02:00

Announcing the Intergalactic Supremacy League!

The hope is to create a tiered multi-league system (such as with football) where at the end of each 'season', the top players from each league will move to a higher ranked league, and the bottom players will move into a lower league (see pic below). The top league could have a play off in the form of a knock out tournament with the four highest players to decide who is the overall winner.

Spoiler: show

Within each league, each player will play against one other player from the same league every week, with players being ranked by wins/points in each league.

Spoiler: show

To begin with, I would like to host a small league to trial how easy it will be to run a league style tournament, if this is successful, and there is enough support from the community (in the form of keen players) this will be rolled out into a multi-league system. I will post the details of this below this post.

The purpose of this thread is to see what the community thinks about such a league system. If the response is positive, I will start another topic where people can sign up for the trial league with finalised league rules.

So yeah, comment away with any feedback/suggestions!
