Since both our expansion groups are full this season, all new players wanting to join will be added to a waitlist. If anyone drops out of the expansion groups, the top player in the waitlist will be added to the group. Players in the waitlist will be added to the league next season if no space opens up for this season.

Hi guys, I'm retiring from warlight, and so won't continue participating in the league. I'm handing over the running of the league to Master Bjarke once this season gets under way. Sorry for the sudden announcement, but warlight is starting to get in the way of more important things, and needs to go. I don't plan on coming back in the future, so once the tournaments I'm currently involved in wrap up its goodbye from me.

It's been fun,

huddyj

Was always a pleasure to play against you huddyj. you will be missed.

Yeah, always a pleasure, thanks for running the league and all the best for your future!

Oh no, that sucks huddyj :(, I was looking forward to playing against you. But I second Suschel too, best wishes in the future!

Thank you huddyj for offering these Small Earth tournaments. We will miss you!

Sorry to hear that. Was looking forward to playing you in our group

Huddyj you were a god at Small earth and I am really happy i faced you.I learnt a lot from you and it is really bad that you are retiring.We will miss you!

Thanks for all the work you put in on the league huddyj

Thanks for all your work with the league, Huddyj and good luck with the important stuff :)

With two drop outs from group H1, Naglfar and nitras have been invited to join those, leaving the group full again, and the waitlist empthy.

With huddyj leaving once the season gets underway I figured I had to start making a spreadsheet with information allowing me to make these threads. So I compiled some into and figured I might as well present some stats from group A for the first 7 seasons.

Number of top rankings:
	        Wins	Runner ups
huddyj	        4	1
TWOLKER  	1	1
Buns157  	1	1
Arkanton	1	1
Master Bjarke	0	2
iNsAnE  	0	1

Dominated by huddyj, who won 4 consecutive leagues (2-5).

Total number of seasons completed in group A

huddyj	        7
Gibs	        6

to little surprise, huddyj is in the top spot again, starting in A as creator of the league and having a 3rd place as his worst finish, never being anywhere near relegation. Gibs, as one of the players in A from season 1, kept the spot contested though, finishing between 3rd-7th for the first five season, before being 8th in season 6 and thus getting relegated to B. Gibs did not manage to promote back up for season 8, but TWOLKER did, so we will see 4 players having played 6 seasons i A and ready to overtake a retired huddyj (of the 4 I am actually the only one never having relegated from A).


In a P/R league, I figured it would also be interesting to see who had achived the best debut season in group A. Here Arkanton takes the prize after a solid 7-1 win in his very first season. In that same season iNsAnE took 2nd with a 5-3 record, where he came out on top in a 4 person tiebreaker!
Arkanton 1st (s 6)
Master Bjarke and iNsAnE 2nd (s 3/ s 6)
mslasm and Sultan Kosmitow 3rd (s 2/ s 3)

For this season there is only one debut in group A, as Leo achieved promotion last season.

Thanks for taking this on, Bjarke. I knew you'd be good for the league.

With the season due to get underway next weekend, there are still a few players who have not joined their groups. I'd appreciate if someone else can message them with tournament links and remind them to join before the deadline. Any group I am running will be started on Sunday even if not all players have joined.

You have all been warned. :P Good luck to all.

Edit: Until I finish all current tournaments I'm playing in, I'll probably check on the league's progress from time to time...

Thanks Master Bjarke. Great post.

FYI - I sent a message to Smiley in group B, but no response... :(

I joined.

Sure wish there was an easy way to get notified of tournament invites on a phone.

I want to join

@huddy

Thanks for running the league, it's been fun.

sorry, posted something that wasn't supposed to be here earlier. Excited to get started!

Hi Master Bjarke. Just noticed in your stats you said Leo is the only debut player in Group A this season. In fact, there are two. Hades also is playing in Group A for the first time after getting a double-promotion from Group C. Looking good early, too!

oh my mistake - thanks for catching it :)
Maybe heading for another debut winner?? :D

Wow, Juan with a perfect score in H2. Congrats
