Im in.

I will participate

In. Great to have you back :)

Thanks to those who have either posted here or sent me a pm to say they will play. I'll be noting all of those, so don't think you have missed out just because I haven't replied.

I have messaged every player who has ever participated in the small earth league (going right back to season 1), excluding those players who have been inactive for over 100 days. This has added up to over 150 players! Hopefully we will be able to get 50+ contestants for the restart.

For those players who have been involved in the past, I would like your ideas on the best ways to rank past participants so good players can be spread evenly across the qualifying groups for the restart.

My current plan is to only rank those players who have reached Group C level or higher, and use the results of their last 3 seasons, with wins in Group C counting as 1 point, wins in Group B counting as 2 points, and wins in Group A counting as 3 points. (assuming 9 matches a season, max possible score would be 81 points by sweeping Group A on three occasions)

Nice news, I would like to join

Update coming in 12 hours. Will be releasing the all new ranking system for past players.

Any more spaces left?????

IF THERE IS SPACES LEFT, CAN YOU PUT ME IN PLEASE!!!!!!!!???????

Plenty of space for new players to join! The previous post is showing past players only. Anyone can join the league.

Currently have 50 new or returning players for the restart. Thanks guys. Plenty of room for new players. It's an easy but strategic template, and plenty of fun for new players as well as the pros.

Thanks to "The Joey" and "DrowningManatee" for messaging me overnight. You are both added now.

And for people who haven't made Group C in the past huddy?

Tournaments have now been created. There will be a total of 5 tournaments with a maximum of 12 players in each. Boot time is 3 days with maximum of 5 games at once, vacations are allowed (see league rules for full details). Check the opening posts on this thread for full details including the small earth strategic template we will be using.

@ s1gmoyd I am working on doing a more extensive ranking system to allow points to be scored down to Group E rather than just down to C, but I will only introduce it following the restart.
The current system is simply going to be used as a way to seed past players in an attempt to spread good players across the equal groups for a better chance of starting in Group A.

A thought for extending the rankings would be to simply change the current system so wins in Group A are worth 8 points, Group B worth 4 points, Group C worth 2 points, Group D worth 1 point, and Group E worth 0.5 points.

Max points per season would be:
Group A: 9 wins = 72 points
Group B: 9 wins = 36 points
Group C: 9 wins = 18 points
Group D: 9 wins = 9 points
Group E: 9 wins = 4.5 points

Only your results from the last 3 seasons would count. Following the restart, all players points would be reset to zero, allowing the winner of Group A in the next regular season to be the first player to officially top the rankings.

Tournaments have been created? I didn’t receive one?
