Players of the league have to play one match against each of the listed opponents. Matches always consist of 10 maps - all maps have to be played out.
Spectators are only allowed in-game if both players agree. The exception are the official casters.
Every map win scores 1 point. In case two players are equal in score, the rank is shared – and the prize pool averaged. Example: three players share #7 means that they all get ($600+$500+$400)/3 = $500.
Map pool:
For every match, the order of the 7 maps will be determined randomly in advance. The 7 maps are then played in the determined order.
At any time before the match starts (can be days or weeks in advance), both players veto two maps each in ABBA order. The player listed on the left will be player B. The 3 remaining maps are then played in the order they appear in the initial map order for the match.

Ourk comes to mind, I think he's the highest rated non-Korean that's played all 3 races recently. Might be TLO going back to his old ways as well, even though I'd rather he didn't.
10 Maps per match and 9 players are 80 games per player only, although I'd like to see Grubby vs Grubby Don't like caster lineup very much but let's wait and see.
