Title: UPDATED: FML Season 26 News + Applications
Post by: FML|Mog on September 30, 2017, 03:05:37 pm
UPDATED:

Finally! It is time for the next installment of the FFA Masters League: Season 26!

This season will feature a new format, one that will hopefully add some spice, and possibly some salt, to our classic FML format.

This new format pulls from the hype and success of past TBR events, by introducing 4 man teams to this FML season. So here is how it works:

There will be no draft. Teams will form themselves, and then apply AS A TEAM. There are no rules or regulations about who can be on who's team, however, you may ONLY participate on one team. If a player is found to be participating on multiple teams using smurf accounts, their entire team will be disqualified for the entire season, and the smurfing player will be banned from future FML events. Also, unlike TBR, there will be no anonymous matches. Players will play every match on the account they sign up with, and are expected to sign up under the account they are most known for. If a player wants to rebrand themselves (Jaod), they must specify in the team application the account they are most known for. Example: If Wrecktify wanted to change his name to DarkFlameMaster, and therefore signed up as DarkFlameMaster, the application must look something like " :ne: :USA: DarkFlameMaster (Wrecktify)"

Although there are teams of 4, the FML playweek will look very similar to past seasons. Every playweek (standard 2 weeks, as in the past), there will be 4 maps per playweek, and teams will have 48 hours to privately submit their lineup to admins, fielding one player per map. After 48 hours have elapsed, the lineups will be revealed, and scheduling threads will be created for each map. Scheduling will be performed the same as in past seasons, each player is responsible for scheduling their match in their respective thread, and the matches are expected to be played within each 2 week playweek. Point system will be the same, 20-12-12-10, with +2 points for top score. Points will be earned individually, as well as added to team total. At the end of the season, players will receive additional points equal to 25% of their team's total points. After these additions, the top 1-3 point earners in the league will directly qualify for the grand final, with the top ranked player picking the final map*. Players ranked 4-7 will qualify for a semi final match, where the winner will advance to the final.

I know this is a lot, so here is how a playweek will look:

Example week 1 maps:
Anarchy Castle
Twilight Ruins
Market Square
Emerald Shores

Team WorpeX submits following lineup:
Anarchy Castle:  :ud: WorpeX
Twilight Ruins:   :ra: Noob1
Market Square:  :ne: Noob2
Emerald Shores:  :ne: Noob3

Team Red7z7 submits following lineup:
Anarchy Castle:  :orc: Elessar
Twilight Ruins:  :ud: Red7z7
Market Square:  :ne: Nooblex
Emerald Shores:  :orc: DarknessCalls

Team Mog submits following lineup:
Anarchy Castle:  :hu: Htrt
Twilight Ruins:  :hu: Soso
Market Square:  :hu: NoexXx
Emerald Shores:  :ne: Mog

Team Renaud submits following lineup:
Anarchy Castle:  :ne: Orcsucks
Twilight Ruins:  :ne: Orcmustdie
Market Square:  :ne: banorcplayers
Emerald Shores:  :ne: Renaud

Therefore, the matchups would be

Anarchy Castle - :ne: orcsucks vs :hu: Htrt vs :orc: Elessar vs :ud: WorpeX
Twilight Ruins: :ne: orcmustdie vs :hu: Soso vs :ud: Red7z7 vs :ra: Noob1

etc. etc.

These players will then schedule their games in their respective scheduling threads as per usual.

In a perfect world there will be 8 teams of 4.

Application format:

Team Name:
Players (including country and wc3 Race):
Designated Team Captain (this person will be responsible for submitting lineup):

So without further ado, go form your teams and submit your applications!

Note: You may also apply as a free agent, in which case you will be added to teams by admins if you are unable to form your own team. There is also a sub channel in the ffamasters discord channel titled "looking for team". This is a great place to find players for a team.

Application deadline: Friday, October 13th 21:00 EST

*Final map must be approved by admins

Hard for a player like me with no FFA friends to form a team, so I guess I'll apply as a free agent!

Believe we just need 1 more team! Couple teams need to finalize their roster as well, but we appear to be at 7.

I heard murmurs of another team... but so far haven't seen it materialize.
