NEW: Info about the league in audio form: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28923690/League4Info.mp3
SEASON FOUR BEGINS MONDAY 12th MARCH
Performance in Season 3 has determined most of the top divisions for Season 4, and qualifying matches that happened during Februrary determined the rest.
GUIDANCE FOR PLAYERS:
Please see the league4 website to see your division.
Division 1 and 2 Players:
Please play ONE match against anyone you like in your division this week.
Division 3 Players:
Please hold off starting. I am hoping to shuffle a few people around to even up the numbers.
Anyone else:
If you have a colour on the league4 webpage but aren't in a division, it's because I think you went AWOL. Contact me and convince me you will be around for this season and I will stick you in a division.
If you are listed on the league4 page without a colour, it's because you never told me one or I didn't get the memo! It's not too late to contact me and get involved in this season.
If you are not listed on the webpage at all, but want to take part in the league, then register on the site and tell me your colour preference by PM. I can then stick you in the bottom division of your preferred colour.
Enjoy The Competition!

If you haven't signed up already, register yourself on the league4 section of my website, with a username that matches your Forum username, and post your league colour preference(s) on this thread..
FULL RULES:
* You must be signed up on the league4 section of my website, with a username that matches your Forum username. If you aren't listed on that webpage, you are not in the League.
* Season Four runs from Monday 12th March for FOUR weeks.
* There are five leagues (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange), split into divisions with six or seven players in each.
* Each player plays each other player in their league once, in a three-game match. You always play 3 games, regardless of whether someone is 2-0 ahead. (Reasons will become clear in the SCORING section.)
* Players will be paired up with one or two matches to be played each week. If you cannot play a scheduled match in a given week, then try to set a match date for a future week with your opponent. Feel free to play non-scheduled matches with people you've not yet played in your league, if you're both available and want to play. (Getting matches in early can be useful in you are going on holiday, for example.)
* When players have agreed a mutually convenient time for a given match, they should meet in the chat room at the agreed date and time. (I recommend specifying times in GMT+0 to avoid confusion and using the clock on the league page as the definitive time in GMT+0.) Not turning up gets you a Warning. Two warnings = auto-win for your opponent.
* Anyone who goes AWOL during the first five days of the league will be removed and replaced. Be sure to check your profile on the league site and Private Messages so you can arrange your games. Exception: if you will not be around for those first five days, let people know in advance, and be sure to get your games in when you return.
* Who goes first in the first game in a match is decided randomly. The other player goes first in the second game (just quit and restart the game if the in-built random selection gets it the wrong way round). The last match is again decided at random.
* Results should be posted on this thread AND on the league4 website, via the Report a Match link (available when logged in).
* Within a match, you cannot make any deck changes.
* Between matches (i.e. between opponents), you can change your deck as much as you want, including Hero.
* The winner of division 1 in each coloured league gets 500 Shadow Crystals.
* At the end of the season, the top 2 players in division 1 of each league, along 6 players from lower divisons (determined via match results and possibly a qualifier tournament), will face off in a single-elimination tournament to decide the overall winner for Season 4. Season 4 winner gets 4000 Shadow Crystals.
* Between seasons, there are also promotions and relegations as follows: the bottom two players of each division (except the lowest division) are relegated to the one below; the top two of each division (except division 1) get promoted to the one above.
SCORING:
* you get 1pt for playing a match
* you get 1pt for winning a match
* you get 1pt for each game you win
Winning 3-0 therefore gets you 5pts. Winning 2-1 gets you 4pts. Losing 2-1 gets you 2pts. Losing 3-0 gets you 1pt for turning up. Not turning up gets you 0pts.
