    It certainly won't be completed in a couple of days, but it is certainly worth giving it a go to see how it works.

    Once it's 4v4 its not really more complex, still a matter of getting 8 people on at the same time.

    Dude is still trying to work out a fair way of doing the teams - as ELO averaging from GuardianGG was creating some very uneven teams.

    So...as ye may already know, there's no magic formula to match out even teams, I therefore have used some artistic licence in the concoction of these, have a look and if you think there should be any alterations then just send them on through PM.

    SCORING
    1 point for a round win (5 rounds per match)
    Additional 2 points for match win.


    What I'm proposing is the teams try to play at least 1 match per week. A match should consist of 5 x 7 minute rounds of Clash. So basically each round win is worth a point and the overall match winner gets a 2 point bonus. This way even if teams aren't able to get those match wins then hopefully they can still get some points on the board and not feel all that bad.

    That's roughly 35mins of play time, say a game to warm up, another 15mins, bit of bantz and all over within an hour.

    This is all a work in progress so nay better ideas then just fire them on.

    The maps also need to be selected so I say we make a shortlist.

    I'd think the following maps are suitable:

    Rusted Lands
    Burning Shrine
    Asylum
    The Timekeeper
    Pantheon
    The Cauldron
    Twilight Gap

    And also potentially:
    Firebase Delphi
    Shores of Time
    The Dungeons
    Frontier
    Floating Gardens
    Skyline

    I'm more than happy to get this a shot and see how we get on - I'll be off a few nights over the next few weeks with Christmas/Family stuff which I am sure is the same for everyone.

    I do think spreading it over potentially 5 weeks means it could peter out - but I also understand even getting half the people only for a few hours to play a smaller more contained comp would be difficult - so I understand and see the merit in the league format.

    Cheers to dude for putting the effort into organizing it. As I say, i'm game to play it whenever I am available. Hopefully we can get the matches played.

    It could also be an idea if we can work out when teams are available and maybe work the fixtures around that - in case (for example) we can't sync up with the team we are due to play first, but we can sync up with the second team - so just get that match played.

    Maps I would be happy to see excluded - Cathedral of Dusk, First Light, Skyshock, Bastion and Shores of Time (I love shores of time, but it is a campy map and maybe one we could avoid)

    Timekeeper can fook off - purely cause I hate that map (as I have only played it like 5 times so have NO IDEA where I am or what i am doing on that map!)

    Are the ELOs based of our Season 2 (Summer 2016) combined Clash/Control/Rift/IB stats, or are they based off our Current (where available) ELO's for Clash?
