[color=red]Red[/color]vs[color=blue]Blue[/color] StarLeague

I would like to present Season One of the [color=red]Red[/color] vs [color=blue]Blue[/color] Starleague; the first ever Starleague to be put on and played through members of the Roosterteeth community forums! Taking influence from various ladders in the Starcraft scene[such as Teamliquids TSL], the [color=red]R[/color]v[color=blue]B[/color]SL features a 3 week ladder stage into a semi-final, played on popular maps from iCCup and the Korean Starleagues. Using it's own cumulative point system similar to other ladders, players will attempt to ascend to the highest rank by gaining points for each win and loss; before finally getting to said semi-final tournament. There, 4 players will duke it out in 2 randomly selected 2v2 games, each bo5 games; until 2 finalists are achieved. Proceeding the semi-final will be a b07 grand final - rewarding the hardest working and most skilled Starcraft player in the Roosterteeth Community.

Ladder Rules
-Games will be either played in battle.net via channel RvB (original, huh? ) or via hamachi. Hamachi info-
+ Show Spoiler +
-Each player must play with their race of choice from the beginning - no offrace matches are allowed. As well - each player must have the tag of RvB in their name - whether it be name[rvb], RvBname, rvb)name, etc. This helps differentiate players from their original names in replays when updating the League stats.
--Each game must be played on one of the 10 maps found in [link=http://www.box.net/shared/ns0xnprbvo]this mappack[/link].
--Each player must keep hold and supply replays from every game at the end of the day. [color=red]When you are supplying replays - either post a link of the replay pack in this thread or message them to me. [/color] An autoreplay plugin helps, the best in being chaos launcher - which you can download [link=http://winner.cspsx.de/Starcraft/Tool/Chaoslauncher.zip]here[/link]. This is so I can keep track of stats at the end of each day, update them, and check for hacks if suspicious. Also, this is a more reliable source than looking at a players battle.net stats.[for the most part]
--It does not matter if games are played over hamachi, battle.net, or chaos launcher - that is to be determined between players. However, lag issues will not be acceptable. If someone lags incredibly during a game, and it causes the other player to quit - the lagging player will be fined 10 points. If a player lags out/drops from a game, that will be a fine of 15 points. It is your responsibility to have latency issues in check.
--Pauses are allowed, however you must ask before you pause. If a player declines and you still leave/you take longer than 10 minutes/you drop from pause - you will forfeit the game and points will be rewarded normally. However, declining a pause for something trivial may be considered BM, so be prepared to defend your reasons why unpausing.
--You must complete at least 20 games to qualify in the final. However, this is only a minimum. If you only play 20, and then halt in playing games until the final - you will not be included in qualifications, and the next active person will be picked. The reason for this is to promote participation and fair play within the ladder.
**Each player starts out at 0 points, and you must gain points by playing games. It does not matter if you win or lose, you will always gain points. However - points for wins and losses are not equal. Wins will garner you 20 points, while losses will only give you 10. At the end of the ladder, each person's rank will be based off of the ratio of points to win/lose percentage. Once the final rankings are given - the top 4 players will advance into the semi-finals.

The Semi-Finals
--Once the 4 top ranked players are selected, they will be randomized into 2 2v2 rounds, each round being a best out of 5(bo5). Each game will be played on a randomized map out of the map pool, disregarding players concerns for maps. The maps of preference will be played in the first two matches, a coin-toss will determine which goes first. There will be 2 officials watching the game in observer slots among the players, to watch for bug abuses/forfeits/hacks/etc. The winners of those rounds will advance into the finals while the losers descend into the losers bracket.
--Lag-outs/drops/etc will not be ruled against in the semi-finals - the match will either be played again or postponed until latency issues are resolved.

The Finals
--The winners of the semi-finals will advance to the finals in an attempt to declare victor of the 1st season of the [color=red]R[/color]v[color=blue]B[/color]SL. The Finals will consist of a best of 7(bo7) round. Each player will pick 1 map of their preference, with the rest of the matches played on randomized maps from the map pool. The maps of preference will be played in the first two matches, a coin-toss will determine which goes first. There will be 2 officials watching the game in observer slots among the players, to watch for bug abuses/forfeits/hacks/etc. The winner and loser will respectively take 1st and 2nd place with no BM or complaints.
*The same rules apply for the finals as the semi-finals for latency issues.

The Ladder Stage starts at 00:01 PST, Friday August 29th!! Any Red vs Blue games will count between then and 23:59 PST, Sunday September 21st!!

Good games, good luck, and have fun!
