Regular Season (7 Weeks)

  • Division members will be randomly assigned numbers 1–8 for scheduling purposes.
  • Each week, there will be 2 pods per division, with 4 players per pod.
  • Each pod will play 6 games total (2-game matchups vs. each of the other players in the pod).
  • Partners switch every 2 games.
  • Each player will face every other player 6 times during the regular season.
  • Player with the most points is declared the Individual Champion for the Respective Division.

Playoffs

Setup:

  • Total points from the regular season determine playoff seeding.
  • After 7 weeks, the top 6 players in each division enter the Playoff Bracket.

Tiebreakers:

  1. Most total wins
  2. Most sweeps
  3. Best win percentage vs. the highest-ranked opponent (for example, if two players are tied for #3, compare records vs. #1, then #2, etc.)
  4. If still tied, both players will play a game as opponents, each with a bot. The winner will get the higher seat between the tied players.

League Governance

  • The Captain oversees team scheduling, team communication, reporting scores, and organizing weekly streamers (at least 24 hours before each game).
  • In the event of disputes or rule clarifications, the League Commissioners serve as the final authority.
  • Rules may be updated between seasons at the Captain’s discretion, with player feedback considered.
  • Please bring any questions first to your Captain, and then to the League Commissioners if needed.
  • Note: if a player cannot complete the season, a replacement will be selected, and they will inherit the player’s rankings.

General Guidelines and Etiquette

  • Captains will be responsible for coordinating matchups and playing times. It is the responsibility of each player to show up at your designated time.
  • If for some reason you cannot make your scheduled game, please let your captain know immediately so that a sub can be found.
  • You should have the 3D friend link for each player in your group. This makes setting up and joining tables more efficient and prevents random players from joining games.
  • When playing in a game, some players will talk more than others, while some will choose not to talk at all. Please be mindful of communication levels.
  • Since we are all playing six games, it is expected that each player will be mindful of the time. Excessive typing in chat, excessive talking in voice, unnecessarily long pauses, or any distractions that slow the game down are generally frowned upon.
  • It is not a requirement, but it is recommended that each player have an ad blocker. This helps speed the games along and minimizes the chance of a player getting stuck and/or disconnected.
  • Please make sure your internet connection is strong so that you minimize the chance of being disconnected.
  • In the event that a player gets stuck and the “Boot” button shows up, do not boot anyone until it is determined that the player cannot continue.
  • In the event that a player does get disconnected due to connectivity issues or ads, the game will continue with a bot. Disconnected players may rejoin during the next game.
  • Table talk of any kind will not be tolerated. This and any other type of play that may be considered cheating will lead to players being removed from the league.
  • Note: if a player cannot complete the regular season, a replacement will be selected, and they will inherit the player’s rankings.

Streaming/Broadcasting Etiquette

  • If you are the one streaming games for your team, please adhere to all of the above rules, especially those pertaining to internet quality, ad blockers, and general pacing.
  • If you are watching the stream, please refrain from distracting the commentators. Excessive talking can disrupt the flow of the broadcast. Make sure your mic is muted when not speaking.
  • Please be mindful of critical comments made on the broadcast. These games are recorded and uploaded online. It is one thing to be critical of a certain play, but under no circumstances should a player ever be made to feel inferior or disrespected because of it. Everyone plays the game differently, and there are a lot of different skill levels. But we are all here to learn and also to support each other.

This list is not considered final and may be updated at any time as new issues/challenges arise
