BCL NEWS W09/20
Leagues are starting
The SCQ EU PS4 T5 & T8 are starting next weekend 6th March 2020.
The ladders have been running for quite a while already. The registration for leagues have also been open. We are requiring Ladder matches to be eligible to attend the Leagues. The idea behind all this is to get a grip of the level each team is playing. Also it’s important to see the teams are actually alive and playing to minimise the hassle caused by dropouts.
During the group phase teams are still allowed to add new members to the roster, but when the knockouts starts the team roster will be locked. Please read the rules for more information.
SCQ T5 Season 1 League
We have 15 teams registered to the league. Unfortunately only iQAL, RuN and LaW has played the required minimum 3 ladder matches. Since the league would be quite short with only three teams we are letting all the teams in who has at least one Ladder match done. We are also negotiating with the leaders of the teams who has not played any Ladder matches for a way for them to prove their eligibility. The target is to get as many teams in as possible.
Please be patient, your fixtures will be published by Thursday next week. It will be done as soon as we have finalised the attending teams.
We are trying to get the league started next weekend (6th March). Please refer to league rules regarding arranging the match and suggested time. Get your team ready to play next weekend!
SCQ T8 Season 2 League
We have 9 teams registered into league, but none of them has played any T8 Ladder matches. We will get the teams who has played in T5 Ladders in and we will negotiate with the other teams trying to confirm they are still active. That’s probably the easiest way to get T8 going by next weekend (7th March) too.
If you are a team leader of a team registered to the T8, but you are not in BCL Discord – please contact me @Jamppu_Fi#4051 on Discord to confirm your team.
Teams that I cannot confirm by 3rd March 2020 will be dropped from the League.
Rules
The rules has reached the 1.0 state. This means that we are freezing the rules for the leagues. Unless there is something seriously wrong in the rules we will not touch the rules until the league group phase is done.
As final change to the rules we added a few lines into server settings regarding the server responsibility and correct server settings.
The Home team (the team mentioned first in the fixture) is responsible of arranging the server – unless teams together agree otherwise. The opposing team is responsible of checking the server settings before the match. The match can’t be disputed for incorrect server settings after it has been played.
During the league phase there has been couple of changes in the rules. All announced in the BCL Discord the but you should read the rules one more time before the leagues start, just to be on the safe side!
