Or Soccer if your American. For season 1 I'm hoping to get 4 teams but if turn out is good we can do a bigger league.
FREEMIUMS AND PREMIUMS WELCOME. Just leave 1 slot open please.
Pre-Season
The first 4 players who say they would like to be managers will be managers of a team. The purpose of a manager is to draft players for the team, determine home field settings, and lastly to pick players for the individual games(explained later). The remaining players will be placed in the free agent pool. If 3 players have already posted that they want to be managers but you would like to be one please still post. If we end up with more teams, or a manager "disappears" you may get your chance.
Each manager will be given a random number from 1-1000. The manager with the lowest score will pick a player first, then the manager with the 2nd lowest score etc. Once all managers have picked a player the 2nd round will begin with managers drafting in the same order. The manager will have 24 hours(from the time the previous manager post)to post their draft pick in the forum.
Each team has a "salary cap" of 20,000 points. Each players "salary" is equal to their CC rank in points at the time they are drafted(or the start of the draft if a 2nd season should begin).
Any players not drafted during the pre-season remain as free agents(reserves). Once the managers have chosen their home maps and map settings the Regular Season will begin.
Regular Season
Each team will play every other team four times. Twice at home, and twice away. A win gives your team 2 points and a lose 0 points. In the somewhat unlikely event that there is a tie, both teams will receive 1 point.
Game
The games are played on the map and with the settings chosen by the home team manager during the Pre-Season.
There will be 2 Quad games and 1 Trips game played between the two teams. It is the managers responsibility to split the 11 players up into the 3 different games(each player may only be in 1 game). The home team manager will post the players he/she picks for each of the three games and then join first, followed by the away team manager posting their three teams and then joining.
When a player eliminates another player on the opposite team that player is considered to have scored a goal. If a player eliminates a player on their own team it is considered an own goal(and the opponent is rewarded a point). The team with the most points at the end of the 3 games wins.
Post-Season
A Single elimination tournament will be played to determine the Season Champs. In the first round the worst team will play the best team. The 2nd worst vs. the 2nd best, etc. If there are any byes they will be award to the best teams first.
Off Season
My hopes is that everyone enjoys this, and that we have more then one season. Provided that happens the Off season will go as such.
After the season has ended and the play offs are over all players must post whether or not they wish to stay with their team or become a free agent in hopes of getting drafted by a different team. Also all players who decide to stay on their current team vote to pick the following seasons manager. If there is a tie between the previous year manager and any number of other players the previous year manager will remain the manager for the team. Otherwise any player who did not vote for one of the players in the tie may revote. If there is still a tie the player with the highest score becomes the manager
Misc
-If a player is kicked out of a game for missing too many turns he may be kicked from the team with a majority vote. A new player from the free agent pool may be picked.
-If a player has not joined a game within 48 hours of the manager posting their teams for a game the manager may pick a free agent to fill in for just that game. If the same player misses more then 3 games in a season in this fashion the team may kick this player with a majority vote and recruit a new player from the free agent pool.
