[iCTF.I] iCTF Announcement

[HULKSMASH]

Sorry Sauron I missed your post - I'll be doing an official announcement on the updated bans list shortly.

How about 23.00 BST midweek, its only 40 mins to play two maps, so then a group stage week can be a double header, one midweek game, one weekend and for the playoffs revert back to JUST weekends, sure SOME people might have to rush home from work and some people might have 7 instead of 8 hours sleep (awww) but thats what ive had to do for every ictf league to date

and for those that arent at home in the middle of the week?

[maestroLOQ]

anything decided yet about the times?

One question: what is the reason for a 3-week season? That is essentially a short tournament that can be done in 3 nights total. The point of a league is to foster teamwork, chemistry over a period of couple months.

I understand that there are people who will fake-afk if they do not like their team. One dead team might ruin a 2-month season, but that should not stop you from trying. I mean the FA-list is there for a reason, and there was also an implementation of season bans if you sign up as full-time participant & do not show (I wish we had done that with UDL and MLIG & other leagues before GU-iCTF). That alone can be a powerful deterrent.

Just my opinion. Just something to consider for future seasons.

The 3 week regular season has already been addressed. We are scheduling the league to end on December 14th. I'm a popular guy but even I know not to compete with Christmas. We could have tried to start the season a week or two earlier but we wanted to make sure we had enough time to get the site functional so that the league is not forum driven. Luckily the world doesn't end in 2015 and we have an action packed Winter season planned.
