Spoiler: Official TLMS Time Table (Open)REGULAR SEASON
The league will consist of at least 6 teams, played in a 3v3 setting. The map pool will have 8 total maps, with 5 of those maps randomly assigned to each match. Each match is best 2 out of 3, and teams will eliminate 1 map and choose 1 map from the 5 assigned to them. The remaining map will be used for a tiebreaker round.
In the regular season, players are given double HP (400/200). The matches consist of a 5 minute round with Sudden Death occurring until all players on one team are eliminated. In Sudden Death, health will degenerate, which forces the teams to make calculated moves depending on their health, armor, and weapon situation.
Teams are not placed in divisions but will be randomly assigned matchups. The number of matchups is subject to change based on turnout. Teams with the best overall record will advance to the playoffs.
PLAYOFFS
In the playoffs, teams will choose a homefield map in a best of 5 setting. The higher seed will play their map twice, and the third round will be the lower seeds homefield map. If there is still no winner after 3 rounds, the 4th round is the lower seeds homefield map again. Any subsequent round will feature the homefield maps going back and forth (format: 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, etc).
Matches in the playoffs will feature an extended playing time of 7-10 mins. per round and players will have standard HP and Armor (200/100).
CAPTAINS
Captains will be handpicked by the league administrators prior to the general sign up period. Players interested in being captains will sign up and then be chosen based on the following factors: Availability, leadership, and the ability to cultivate player growth by not stacking teams with all the best players. After each captain has been chosen, they will in turn choose teammates and sign up as a team.
FREE AGENCY
In addition to team signups, free agent signup is available for players who do not get selected onto a team. This will give captains an opportunity to see who else is ready and able to play not only prior to the start of the regular season, but during it as well. There will be plenty of chances for a free agent to sub in during a match.
