Rumbler's League Spring 2015 - Discussion Thread

[Tami]

Do not use this thread as a general chat thread, please keep the topic on the League.

Rules

Registration and Preparation

1. There are 8 to 12 Team slots available, depending on the level of interest. More slots may open up if interest is high enough.
2. Depending on the Number of Players, the League Tournament might run anywhere from 7 to 11 weeks.
3. If you think you might be interested in joining, make it be known here.
4. If you cannot commit to participating during the scheduled time, you have until a week before the Draft to back out and give your slot to someone else.
5. Please be considerate and let me know if you are going to be too busy to participate one week or intend to drop out for any reason. Please leave notice if you have other problems that might get in the way of your participation. Real Life Happens, but a quick note ahead of time if at all possible makes it easier on everyone.
6. If you have never participated in a League Tournament before, I strongly encourage you to attempt to team up with an experienced player for your first League Season. It is not required, but strongly recommended.

Team Selection and Purchasing

1. All Teams will be chosen During the Draft.
2. The Draft occurs 1 - 2 weeks prior to start of tournament.
3. Do not post any information about your desired team ahead of time. Keep it to yourself as a secret until the time of the Draft.
4. Everyone gets 126 starting credits to use towards purchasing a team during the Draft.
5. Everyone is limited to no more than 2 - 10 credit draft/item purchases during the initial draft.
6. Draft Rules in brief – randomized list of players; each round runs from top-of-list to bottom-of-list, then back to top-of-list again; each player – 2 choices per turn, end players get 4 choices; 1st round limits on 9 pt and 10 pt choices; draft continues until all teams are completed.
7. Everyone who participates gets 3 credits per week to spend on their teams once the tournament begins. 2 Bonus' of 3 points wil be awarded during the Tournament at the discretion of the GM.
8. Once the Tournament begins, every player may choose to purchase an additional 2 – 10 credit draft/item for their team
9. 4 - 10 credit draft/item per team maximum
10. Team size – Minimum of 5 team members / Maximum of no more than 10 team members. Does not include characters or items that can clone/reproduce themselves. Permanent fusing of two characters counts as 1 character.
11. Each Team Member must have a Character/Item combined value of At Least 10 Points and No More than 45 Points.
12. Team Members are drawn from the Draft Lists. Items taken from the Item List alone do not Constitute a 'Team Member'
13. Once Teams are selected, a Reference Thread will be posted where each player can post their team
14. Once Teams are selected, a Reference Thread for Posting supporting Links and Images will be posted.
15. All Team descriptions in the Reference Thread must have summaries of powers/abilities as well as working links to additional information sources.
16. All Team Members Must in Reference Thread be clearly defined as to which version if there are more than one available. This includes Source Material and Individual Point Value.
17. If there are any Controversies regarding Character versions, please attempt to resolve them prior to Game Play if at all possible.
18. During the Tournament, Purchases can be made at any time, but are not required. Any purchase made after Saturday cannot be used in the following week. Each Week runs from Sunday to Saturday.

Game Play

1. All Strategies must be submitted the night before the posting of the matches. If no strategy is received, that counts as a Void.
2. Reasonable Requests for extensions of up to 24 hours may be granted if the GM is contacted ahead of time.
3. All Matches will be posted together on Wednesday Morning (EST) of each week, and each Match will last 3 days. Changes to this are at the discretion of the GM and notice of which will be posted ahead of time.
4. All Voids receive no points for that week. Their scheduled opponent receives an automatic win as long as they submit a Strategy or are excused from submitted a Strat by the GM.
5. Voiding in the two weeks without explanation will result in being dropped from the Tournament.
6. Individual Matches can be rescheduled for a later week IF notice of hardship is submitted to GM beforehand.
7. Winners will be determined by votes.
8. Debate and defending you team is not required, but it is strongly recommended. Most matches in the past have been won based on who makes the best defense.
9. All players must make an honest effort to vote on each match. If a player chronically refuses to vote on any match but their own, they may be subject to a 1 point deduction per-week at the discretion of the GM.
10. Non-participants may vote in the Tournament matches, however, they must either join in the discussions and/or explain why they voted as they did.
11. Votes by Non-participants who do not post at least once in the match/debate threads will not be counted.

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

[Nik Hasta]

CTHULHU IS IN.

Siriel's a giant, he's done crazy stuff in League before.

This is my first real League effort so I could ruin everything for him.

Either way, you're going down tentacle boy.

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

Nah, you're pretty savvy. Figure I've got a new "not the face" I'll need to worry about.

Either way, you're going down tentacle boy.
