Before moving on with this post, I want to mention that this will only happen if teams are willing to play through the games current bugs and problems. If people would rather wait until they are fixed, that's understandable.

So after the recent 2v2 tournament, I'm interested in starting another season of competitive IM so long as there's enough interest elsewhere.

This circuit would run similarly to PG. Every team will play each other under a specified date, 2 fixtures for each match and have very similar in game rules.

A list of the season's features (Work in progress):

- Matches will be played 4v4 or 5v5 (This will depend on how many players each team has but I'm leaning on 4v4 for now)

- Each team must submit their 4-man roster before the season starts

- A team will not be allowed to played with more than one stand-in, if a team is a player short, the match will be played 3v4. If a team is more than a player short or has to use more than one stand-in, the game can be moved back if agreed upon by both teams or it will be a forfeit.

- Each match between teams will not have to be completed within a certain week like PG. Instead, a timeframe of 4 weeks (This may change dependant on how many teams join) will be laid out and it will be each teams job to schedule their matches between each otherwithin the time frame, however they choose.

- Each matches time should be posted as a [Gamethread] on the forums and removed 48hrs after the game has finished to prevent spam.

- Each match will use the same fixture system as PG w/ home and away teams. Home team picks home server and the 2nd map for one fixture while away team picks the first map and third map if it's needed. Then, the process is reversed with the away team now being the home team for the second fixure.

- A fixture is a BO3, if one team wins the first 2 maps the series is over.

- Each map win counts as 1 point to the winning team for the season.

- At the end of the season, the top 3 teams will advance to a playoffs. In this playoffs the 2nd and 3rd seed will play two fixtures similar to the regular season, however all six maps must be played to ensure there will be a winner. (If there is still no winner because map wins are split 3-3, round difference will determine the winner) The winner of the 2nd and 3rd seed series will advance to the finals against the first seed for the championship.

- If a team forfeits 50% or more of their macthes, all other previous results will be rescinded since there will be too much difference in other teams' results. (This shouldn't happen due to the 4 week long scheduling time frame)

One obvious difference with this league and PG is there is no defacto leader such as Phyrefly to be the governing body for the whole league. Instead, each team will have one representative who will be apart of a player's union in case a dispute occurs and a vote must be made.

In the interest of time, I will not go over all the ingame rules for now although to put it simply, it will run mostly like PG (No stair clipping, spawn boosting etc.). The feature's list is subject to change dependant on feedback and there will be more clarification on rules before the league starts.

With a couple tournaments popping up I want to mention this circuit/season can be ran alongside any other tournaments without scheduling interference because games can be scheduled by teams at any time during the specified timeframe for everyones best interests.

Please post here if you're interested in joining the league and/or have suggestions on how it should be ran.


If you already want to register your team for the league, drop your team name with each player in your roster below. No teams/rosters will be final until closer to the start of the season so if you think changes may need to be made until then, don't worry about it.
