[Tournament] IYL6 SIGNUP/HYPE THREAD - Starts March 3rd! - Signups close Thursday 3/1

It looks like I’m moving soon so not really sure what my new schedule is going to look like. PST evenings I guess. It’s pretty much a shot in the dark at this point.

PST evenings work best for me as well though I am overall pretty flexible.

Ok I guess I’m in. I’m not sure exactly what my preferred time slot is but I’ll say… roughly 8pm-12am AES/DT+11.

Whut?!? It can be either GMT+11 or AES. AES+11 is just gmt-2, dude

Maybe I just write these differently to everyone else.
Don’t you write the time zone then the relative time to UTC?
So like JST+9? Or like EST-5? I feel like that’s the best way to write time zones, but I feel like it confuses everyone when I do.

Once you understand what that means it makes things easier by far, but to someone who hasn’t seen it written like that before it could look like you’re saying something like “take JST and then add 9 to it.” Which, based on how Legion responded, is pretty much exactly what happened… With the added complication of two time zones being listed under a single number in your sign-up post.

As for the format of the season, we are planning on having three divisions, each with thirteen players. The tentative seeding for the playoff bracket will be as follows:

Seeds 1-3: The 1-seeds from each of the three divisions, sorted first by match record, and then game win PCT. **
Seeds 4-6: The 2-seeds “…” ***
Seeds 7-9: The 3-seeds “…” **
Seeds 10-12: The 4-seeds and 5-seeds will participate in a best-of-5 play-in match. The seeds will be predetermined by the 4-seed’s match record and game win PCT. **

** The next tiebreak will be determined by RNG.
*** Since this tiebreak actually matters (only for the overall 4-seed), there will be a Bo5 match(es) between the tied competitors.

As previously alluded to, the three 1-seeds as well as the highest 2-seed will be receiving a round 1 bye in our playoff bracket. The rest of the bracket will be a standard twelve-man single elimination bracket.

The actual divisions will be released soon!

EDIT: Great I love that * defaults to bullet point

I wonder what the division name will be this year ?

Prepare to be disappointed! They are the same as last year minus one division.

Each division has an average ELO of about 1550 and similar standard deviation, while still maintaining the requests of everyone’s posted free time.
