Assuming you reach 8-10 teams or so, do you have a rough estimate of how many weeks this will continue for? I still haven't heard anything about the time frame, and the Seasonal isn't planned all that long after this event begins.

It should last 4 weeks for 8 teams, 9 or 10 will be 5 weeks. We think to go on 8 teams.

So about my concerns?

Yes, pausing isnt really an action simple to do, because there are no tools ingame to do it. By the way, we already paused one time with Flib, and it wasnt so much pain.
We are confident about this one.

About timezoning, sign-up end, and match generating, 12 hours is a minimum and can be not enought for some people.
This only concern 1 or 2 match, entire league is build on several matchs that will do the final ranking.
Timezones will always be a pain too that we can't do without ...

But once the event begins, you will know (for most of matchs) some weeks in advance, who you gonna fight and on which map.
And we're a little "time restricted" about the next event that will come, thomas one, Hephaestus, etc etc ... we must start this saturday, or we would not have the time to complete the league.

About 20min match is a limit, for 1 match. We would like to let teams taking his time to build their attacks and not be under the pressure of a timer.


Btw we are very close to 8 teams. 1 team and a half is required (for this minimum) and we're not far from having thoses. Maybe a little more.

8 Teams is a good size for making every match, decent number of match every Sat. that can be streamed and have referee.

Everything is going good at the moment.

Updating and confirming rules and the event start.

Event starts on 28th Feb. at 21:00 (GMT+1)
Signs up close on the 27th Feb. at 23:00 (ur own time) (Depending on ur timezone, we let US players signing up later with this system)

Map pool will be streamed and publish on website with matchs the day after and ~12h before the event start.
Matchs will take place at 21:00 / 21:30 / and may be extended to a third 22:00

Updating rules :
- Only 1 game of 20min max + 5min overtime (for both matchs against same team), 1 game goings, 1 game commings. You fight a single team : 2 times on the same map, with switching sides.
- Scoring : 3pts win, 1pt tie, 0pt loss, 1 bonus point for the will of fighting (if you lose with 3 or 4 kills or if you win with only 0 or 1 death). No bonus point if reaching the overtime.
- Behavior : Added if a team violates rules / or having bad behavior.
- Pause : Added


So this makes the events quicker to realize, basicly the event will last between 21:00 to 22:00, a light format where everyone can play against all others teams.
We wanted to reward teams that making the effort to fight until the end, the bonus point reward those who fights ! (feat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rkDKSkOA1es)


We hire ! Referees and Casters, are welcomed to take a part of this event.

Unless something changes radically, I wouldn't count on us Merry Men to be involved (we're pretty much inactive).

No problem, that is normal.
Feel free to come back if something change.

By the way, ive reduced the fields (In the register form) to : Name of clan / Size / Points of contacts.

Clan does not equal team.

Yup my bad, some are signing up as Team, some others as Clans, depends on their size or wish.
But thefirst thing i was mentionning was the will to do something clear, quick and user friendly.

Yep the social link about competitive. Unless we get the opportunity to have tools to do it directly InGame, we are in the obligation to use forums, websites etc ...

By the way, ive reduced the fields (In the register form) to : Name of clan / Size / Points of contacts.
No need to enter email, or birthday date.

In the history of the videogames, Killzone 2 get his own tournament system directly InGame. Shows us its possible to have a good system for the competitive.

And yes the start well be hard, especially the next days. Unfortunatly, the start is the most important step for this league and will be conditionning its future. Ive put some money and some time to create it, i hope this going good... really.

This was a list of probability clans that are in the number able to join.
In reality maybe some of them won't

About match moving (LogHalley) we can think about sunday before SCS, or after. Depending on another team, we will use Doodle tool for schedule this kind of situation.

Do we have enough teams? I think the rules mentioned that each subdivision needs at least 8 teams?

Yes, we have a first list of 30 teams without including greaters teams. The real problem in fact is the lack of social link between all.
+ the lacks of direct sign un InGame that slows everything. And it take some time to contact everyone, explain all, and let them spread the word on their teams gathering yes or no answer ... take some times.

About the conflicting events, well ... it was unexpected that this one shows up. We've been thinking about a league since some month until we finally decided to go on.
We can't say "Lets do something great all" and let them project down, we respect the work of everyone who wish to create their own event.

The only thing i can say is ... we're open to gather more people, we"re open to let them joining us, and if they want to lead their events to the end we will care to not disturb their plans too much (which is hard i must admit atm with SCS, unbirthday, and others event.

But we are determined to lead this project very far, that's why we show an "all open project" where every caster, referee, team, organizer can join.

Our main work and maybe problem atm is to spread to word about the event. Gather the more people we can until next week ... is really a great  and hard job.
And this is maybe the only thing that lacks into GoIO.

So amazingly pleasantly surprised by this. Whole thing.

"Each rounds takes place on Saturdays, but can take place at the convenience of each team (and caster + referee) at a different day."

Could I get some clarification for this? I have some PTSD from a tournament that was basically schedule yourself in and thus I've always been wary of an event with choose your day to play.

When is this supposed to begin, time and date?

This will definitly begin on next Saturday, signs up will close on Sat. 28 Feb. at 18:00 GMT+1, Map pool  + match generation will be streamed at 19:00.

And first rounds will begin on Saturday 21:00 GMT+1.

Schedule is a little flexible, each team can do their own hour at their conveniance if really needed. (Ex. 2 teams from US wish to battle at 21:00 local time, we will move it to this hour.)

But most of them will be on Saturdays and won't move unless both teams can't play at this hour.

I do have one criticism. Which is that 2 subdivisions would serve way better than 4 imo given the current number of teams regularly participating in events (allowing for an about equal number of new teams being attracted by the event's format). Although there are a couple of teams who consistently win everything, putting them in a 2-team league of their own would be tantamount to excluding them from the event. And then there is little to choose between the 5 or so next best teams. so you end up with a situation where either the middle leagues are quite unpopulated or league placement feels quite arbitrary.

Hi velvet !

Everything is a subject of modification, depending on the reality we will meet on the next days. We will adapt the number of the leagues depending of the total number of teams who have made an application.

We try at the moment to spread the word The website job to calculate points, show the list of matchs easy, etc ... is now done.
The website can carry 15 match in few minutes and show instantly the list on a previous page. > http://goio-league.com/all-matchs/
+ filtering the games by teams, easy to see (Actual data shown on the website is for example, testing)

Thanks all, it's very nice to see that the idea interest the most experienced teams. Very kind 

Well, we are main focused on newer teams yes, but older teams are welcome too. We've thought about you, Gent's, Rydr's, SPQR's, etc ... (all of you that is supporting GoIO since older than i've bought the game.)

1st season will be an "All in the silver league", once it ends the first 1/3 goes in Gold, the middle 1/3 stay in silver, the last 1/3 goes in Bronze.
And diamond ? Opened in priority for an average or 1.5k games played by the total 8 crew, so you'r seat in diamond league is already here but beware to not fall on Gold
2nd season, 3rd, 4th and after, depending on league size, it can be 1 to 3 teams who will switch "league up" or "league down", would definitly love to have 2 but it really depends on league size.


Everything is a subject of change btw, rules, number of leagues can be upgraded with a 5th if needed, website, etc ... our wish is to provide a good competitive experience.

About a day that the league would start, wished to start it this week, depends really on our efforts to contact all little teams and let them register / register them manualy into the league. Can be delayed to the next week maybe.
As rules says, it will be a broadcast about the map pooling that will officially starts the league so ... if you wait for something it will be this stream (on our twitch.tv/flibustiers).

This topic can be used to register into the 1st Season too. But you can wait until 2nd season to jump into Diamond.
