Registration Instructions <\/b><\/h2>\n

Registration will open on Wednesday, April 1<\/b>st <\/b><\/span>at 12PM <\/b>and will end on Sunday April 5<\/b>th <\/b><\/span>at Midnight<\/b>. All Leagues are Open. Which means there are no gender restrictions.<\/p>\n

Your team name should be the Gamer Tag\/ID that you use on your console so that competitors around the league are able to send a friend request in order to compete against you online. NOTE – You will need access to PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live to participate. <\/b><\/p>\n

Regular Season \u201cLadder\u201d Scheduling <\/b><\/h2>\n

The regular season will be April 6th <\/span>\u2013 April 17th<\/span>. During that time, you will be required to play a minimum of 5 games. On April 20th <\/span>a single elimination bracket will be created based on current standings. Players are responsible for setting up match times and reporting their scores during the regular season<\/p>\n

The League will utilize \u201cLadder\u201d Scheduling. This means that the system will randomly place all players who sign up a number. If you are assigned the number 7, then you will have the ability to challenge players two numbers ahead or behind you (so in this scenario players in position 5, 6, 8, & 9 can be challenged). If a lower number beats a higher number then the lower number will take their number and the higher number will be moved one spot down the ladder with all remaining players adjusted accordingly. If the lower number loses then both teams maintain their current rankings. Whatever number is assigned to you after the regular season ends on April 17th <\/span>will be your seed for the single-elimination playoff tournament.<\/p>\n

E-Sports Match Challenge Policy <\/b><\/h2>\n

Teams will only be able permitted to play each other twice during the regular season. Due to the nature of ladder scheduling teams with higher numbers may not want to accept matches from lower numbered opponents and risk moving down the ladder, if they lose. As such, each player is only permitted to decline two (2) challenges per league. After that players will be required to accept challenges from any player eligible to challenge them. If a challenge has been made but not responded to the challenger may cancel the challenge and challenge someone new.<\/p>\n
