SERVERS: Altitude Proleague #1, 2, 3, 4
PASSWORD: aleague

Registration Starts: Now

Registration Ends: September 22nd


***This post will be related to everything throughout the season, I will update i***

It’s been 3 seasons now, and all have been fantastic. We have hit many bumps but we go through them all to become stronger! There are so many more teams and players that play now, I cannot wait to see this season of APL. It will be very interesting and I wish everyone luck.

The format and rules are going to be the same as they were for the Summer League and Altitude ProLeague Season 2. I pretty much copied and pasted them from the original tournament thread and modified them to fit this new tournament. Ideally I see the league starting in September and the games happening on Sunday. Sunday always seems like a good day to have games because most people can make the games and it’s been the default.

Registration will be the same as always. Rax moster size is 12, and minimum is SEVEN. There is a new change: You can change out only 3 players from your roster during the regular season. 3 substitutions only. Before the 1st official match you can change as much as you please. During playoffs you cannot change anyone from your roster so save some subs until the end.

Here is the info you need to sign your team up for the tournament:

Quote:
Only the captain can official submit a team roster! Teams should be no more than 12 and no few than 7 players. The format is 5v5 so if you only have 5 and someone doesn't show up then you will be playing a man short. So I suggest having a few more players than 5 on your roster. Only a team with at least 7 players should be sending in a final roster. If you have less than 5 I suggest starting a thread saying that you are looking for players as that worked the best in the past and then once you have 5 or more players then post your final roster here. If you are a single player looking for a team feel free to post here or go to clan organization forum, and post in the recruitment section, but if you are a team with a few short just start your own thread!
So the difference this time, is that you must have at least 7 players on a team. The Maximum a team can have will be increased to 12 just like last season.

Sign ups will continue until September 22nd. To clarify, September 23rd 12:00am EST is the end of sign ups.

I need your team name and tag simply for identification. I'd appreciate it if everyone could wear a tag during all league games. It'd make sorting through everything much simpler. I am not including information on IP addresses or account IDs. I will not be checking the server logs for the validity of team players. It is up to each team to be on the honor system and only field the actual players on their teams. It is a small community and I feel like any kind of smurfing will generally not happen.

Any players harboring banned people will automatically be banned for the season, and the players too. Tec27 made a new website that makes it easy to check people so don't smurf. As a simple reminder, respect all the admins. I am admin along with the three, Kuja, Storm, and Mikesol who replaced Tyr. Respect anyone who has powers and if you have questions ask me or those named above.

Also, can all captains add me.
Zoldennis5491@yahoo.com is my email in game,
6f2fc76e-753b-46ca-be01-6b079e101062 is my account ID

This is so i can stay in contact with everyone. Any vice-captains are welcome to add me, actually anyone active on their team is welcome to add me. Captains are required to add me.

TOURNAMENT RULES

The league's 4th season will run from: September 26th to October 17th. The first 4 sundays will be for regular season games and the next two sundays after October 17th will be for the playoffs.

A team will have 2 matches scheduled per week. The default play date is Sunday. It is up to the captains to agree to a separate date if it is required. If a date cannot be agreed on, then the match must be played on Sunday. Plan on having 2 games on the Sunday and each one will be slotted for a one hour time block. Scheduling will be mostly random, but you will be playing with teams your own record.


The complete map pool is: Mayhem, Core, Woods, Lost City, Middleground, Cave, Asteroids, Grotto, Locomotion, Heights, Fallout, Justice, Focus, Underpark, Scrapyard

Throughout the season, the following format will be used with a map veto system:

- Regular Season: Best of 3
- Playoffs: Best of 5
- Championship Match: Best of 7

Pre-season will be September 19th

Schedules will be updated and posted on the forums. Check new posts for your scheduled match times!

During the regular season, each team will have an equal number of games as team 1 and 2 (similar to home and away). During the playoffs, seeding will determine who picks the map first! The lower seeded team will pick the first map. The Home team in every match will get to pick the first map as well of the map rotation!

The playoffs will be decided when the time has come.

The winning captain has to report the results to me. Screenshots of the post-game screen must be captured after every game and should be submitted to ME (Evilarsenal) via email immediately following the game along with a scoring summary in text. For example:

Screenshots will be different this season. Along with forfeit wins, things will be very strict from now on. A team with less than 5 can play 4v5 ONLY WITH THE OTHER TEAMS CONSENT. If you have 3 players, it is an automatic Forfeit Loss. The Team Reporting the forfeit win will have to take a screenshot, and report it. Screenshots are not manditory to be sent in, but if there is a problem, they will be asked for. Without screenshots, unless an admin saw it, a match will be declared a forfeit loss for both teams. If two teams have 3 players, they will both receive forfeit losses. Also, if you receive two forfeit losses in two different weeks, your team will be disqualified from the tournament.

EMAIL ADDRESS TO MAIL RESULTS/SCREENSHOTS/DISPUTES: altitudeproleague@yahoo.com

Like i said, screenshots are not mandatory (they aren't required to be sent in) but take them just in case because without them, you could receive a forfeit loss. Our admins will most likely watch the matches but still better safe than sorry!

Attach the game screenshots to the email!

A game which lacks screenshots from either side will result in a loss. 2 Forfeit losses and you're gone. Realistically, a suspension will not be handed out unless there is a dispute. Making sure you take screenshots is a simple way to be safe and ensure there is no drama.

Ties can happen, if a match is 1-0, and a tie happens, it becomes 2-1, and the team that was 1-0 wins, but if it was 1-1, and a tie occurs, the game is a tie.

A team must have at least 5 total pilots including a designated captain. A team is limited to 12 total pilots.

If you have less than 5 players who show up for a match then it is up to the other team whether they want to play 4v5, if any team has below 4, the game is over. It is up to your team to coordinate your team's players. If you show up with fewer than 5 players for a match do not expect to reschedule the match. Plan ahead and plan for a few people being no shows.

IN GAME RULES:

- Substitutions can only take place in between games and not during a game. This means that each player should test their connection with the server extensively before the game goes live. If a player is having problems, he should not play. If a player disconnected or their game crashes that same player may reenter the game once they reconnect. However, no other player is allowed to enter the game that is in progress. If this is violated and the opposing team wants to object then take a screenshot and send it to me with an explanation of what happened. If someone is observing and accidentally spawns but quickly leaves without impacting the game then I suggest teams don't worry about it. But if someone is being abusive then definitely let me know.

- Everyone should be spawning at the same time. That means ideally you should have a 3rd party observer that does a count down for the spawn. Any observers should refrain from using general chat or interring with the game at any point. Please as a spectator, use team chat. It is very rude and makes you look like a noob, so please don't ruin the game. A mistake or a slip up is aloud, but please don't be an ass.

Heyyy ffl had some great innovations! I personally loved the idea of randomly kicking people a mod doesn't care for mid match or no.

[classicallad]

i was drunk, i didnt care and it was only you so whats the big deal, i told them i would be a ****ty admin from the start, noone listened

[Tosconi]

EvilArsenal,
Please specify the point - can teams change players after the regular season has finished and the play offs haven't started yet?

Last season it was a huuuuge problem, with teams changing their entire roster with the better players of other teams for the play-offs.

[Kuja900]

Ohhh also scheduling matches the same time as world series matches was also a riveting change that I am sure we will be adopting this time around as well! I also was not referring to you another admin kicked me mid match earlier in the league.

[Smushface]

You deserved it. Now stop being so butthurt and make mafia happen again.

[Evan20000]

I think this league would be so much better if the 5v4 rules were rewritten as we learned from FFL.

Either way, glad to see APL4 underway.

That makes you the worst player on that team ʘ‿ʘ

[innerlyte]

Regarding DC issues, I like the idea that another tourney on here used -- starting with 6 players and benching one, as an alternate. Why can't we give that a try? Technically, sitting one when an opponent disconnects is only a matter of etiquette in Alti and really shouldn't be the full team's concern. I'm pretty sure no one enjoys this obligatory sitting practice, while staying in for the power play will amass you heavy criticism.

[classicallad]

i see, so what your saying Red is that upto 6 players on either side can enter tournament mode, so that if a player d/c's the game doesn't suffer. ?

[evilarsenal]

yea something with the dc problem will be regarded to for this apl, we already discussed it

and

tosconi, teams cant change rosters once the first playoff game starts

[elxir]

i don't think it should be mandatory to spec because an outclassed team could use it to their advantage

[Evan20000]

Lixir, you still have an advantage in that you choose who you get to spec. You should always have the better plane matchups in a 4v4 if you spec one, while remaining honorable.

Also, in APL3, there were talks of a ping cap being imposed. Will this be implemented?

Right. Of course this depends on both teams having at least 6 people to start off. I think something like this makes sense as long as people are better about attendance than we've seen in the past.

Not necessarily true. Let's say a hypothetical team A has five players, all top-class. A hypothetical team B is playing against them, with four players that are top-class, and then one player that is a complete noob. In this situation team A has a definite edge over team B.

Then let's say team B's noob disconnects. Now if A specs a player, no matter who it is, what was originally A's easy win has suddenly turned into a balanced game.

[innerlyte]

Lol, was about to say that, Nobo. I support this message.

[Smushface]

So what you're saying nobo, if we're ever playing a good team and losing, we should unplug Ryebone's internet?

Shhhhhhhh.

[Evan20000]

That's true, but any good captain wouldn't field a noob unless they're the only other person out of 4 that showed. But how did they make the team to begin with....

But regardless, I see your point.

[Blue]

might be signing up with my new clan KK|, just gotta get that roster up.

When boredom strikes, yes it is.

make sure your team will show up pls.

[Tosconi]

RIP did a good job both in APL3 and FFL, I don't think there're any reasons to worry about their showing up in the coming tournament.

[andy]

they actually impressed me since they were one of the most serious teams at showing up to games and rescheduling games in time..
