I know the schedule is hard to see, it is aproblem with the new challonge I believe...I can make a google spreadsheet if people would think it is easier to see of the schedule.

Since I got no positive feedback, we will have a very long tourney it seems.

[TwistedCookie]

can't see it man..
edit: nvm just open the pic in other tab and then you can zoom it.

nah its cuz karlam made a new size limit on images

[BrazNomar]

Yeah, you can just right-click, "show image", and zoom in.

Last SL's 3 rounds per Sunday seemed to work OK most of the time, maybe we could do the same here and shorten time from 5 to 4 weeks?

[JWhatever]

So much for home and away rule, huh?

There are some 65 europlayers in the 152 registered (not including PAC). Forcing every euro vs US game on US servers is plain wrong.

Even though the 4-team-playoffs was trashed, don't just give up with the other ideas aswell.

SSD was right aki, the image shrinks due to Karlam making a max on image sizes.

[darknietzsche]

Also, I am not making the home and away server rule go away, I say the bottom team chooses server, you should be pretty equally distributed between the top and the bottom teams thus having an equal opportunity of choosing a server.

I didn't say he wasn't right. I posted a solution. URL link the image with the image's location allows for fast clicking into the full image.

Edit: A more difficult on organizer solution would be to crop the image to just this weekend's games + bottom section.

Edit: Also your turn.

Sorry my bad :| thanks

I have a question about this: What if 1 (or more) player(s) from the team that is playing away has lag issues/ping kicks on the server chosen by the home team? Can they demand to go to a neutral server or even their own server?

[darknietzsche]

No, every team will probably experience this. If people live in the US, they should play in most EU servers, and same vice versa. There will of course maybe be 1 to 2 players who will not be able to play, but I am not going to allow a server switch for one player because their ping is bad. With roster size at 16 achieving 8 people to show up should be easy if carefully organized, so 1 person does not overall effect the chances to play. Also a team may play if only 5 people are available.

DN, you and I have our differences. One of us is from a storied state filled with rural beauty, coal mines, and great universities. The other is from West Virginia. That being said, today we stand united in triumph as the devils from the burning fires of hell have been vanquished from the number 1 ranking in NCAA Men's Basketball by a ravenous pack of wolf-men. And no, that's not the plot of the next Underworld movie.

I DECLARE SKY LEAGUE OPEN WITH A TRIUMPHANT REVIVAL OF BRUCE.

[elixirwithani]

t3c cannot locate any PAC players except 1 guy in tbd ladder

[darknietzsche]

If PAC or PIE does not communicate with me why they missed this week, then I will remove them from the standings and give everyone 2-0 wins against them.
