TBR Week 1 Schedule + Details

[FML|red7z7]

Since we had a blazingly fast draft (must be the benefit of having very active captains!), we are already set to move onto the next phase one day ahead of schedule. Now begins the player assignments / scheduling phase!

Captains must submit their player assignments to either Pinballmap or myself by Saturday 18 EST / 24 CET, as games begin on Sunday!

Scheduling rules/details
There will be 3 weeks of 4-way matches, followed by a 2v2v2v2 round. For the first 3 weeks, there will be 8 matches per week (subject to change). All the rules below apply to the first 3 weeks only:

- Scheduling will happen on a weekly basis. Only one week's matches will be announced at a time
- Teams will discuss together to decide which player is assigned to each game
- A team assigns only 1 player to each game
- Within the 3 week period, a player must play at least 2 games, and at most 3 games (put simply: 2 min, 3 max)
- There are no weekly limits, for example a player can play all 3 games in the first week and sit out the next 2 weeks if that's what the team agrees to.

Anonymous games
- Each team will be provided a list of smurf names corresponding to each player (for example salamander_3452). Players are responsible for creating those accounts and joining their assigned match using those smurfs. Players will get a new smurf for every match. We will have w3arena admins verify the identity of players after each match to filter for cheating.

Substitutions
- If for whatever reason a player from a team does not show up to a match, the team of the player has 3 options
1) They can substitute a player from their team into the match as long as they don't violate the 2 min, 3 max rule. This means if a player has 2 games played and a 3rd one scheduled, and he is chosen as a substitute for an earlier game, then that means the game he subbed now counts as his 3rd game and he cannot play his previously scheduled 3rd game.
2) That team forfeits the match and a neutral substitute plays instead (someone not in the event)
3) Forfeit the match and Computer insane substitutes.

Banned heroes sounds sooooo elf wtf. Ban Panda!

[FML|red7z7]

I also want to say again, that all players should be active on their discord team channels! Scheduling should be a team effort. If you have trouble using or getting into discord, let an admin know as soon as possible.

[FML|Mog]

Damn I was hoping for more weekend games and less weekday games!

[Ponty]

To all my team mates, go check discord !

[Peregrine]

Excuse me but why are all the times for US East players during working hours? Shouldn't we have some games available for people who are at work at 3pm?

Every team has players from the Americas

Yeah later games like 23 CET on a friday would have been. Good

[FML|red7z7]

We based the chosen times on statistics of last seasons match times. We'll see how things go this week and may make adjustments next week.

[FML|red7z7]

Players cannot use !ping or !from commands - doing so may result in a penalty. To check ping you can use !checkme.

Games should be hosted on fra2 bot, iharena_fra2, unless otherwise stated by admins.

Every player should have received a smurf account on their team discord channel - please create that account and join your game using that smurf.
