Servers:
Vanishing's Ladder servers

Style: BO3 double round robin format. 1st play through of the round robing top team starts veto (ABBA format) and bottom team picks server (AAB format). Loser picks map after first game. During second play through, the roles will be switched.

Teams can substitute twice during a game. 6 players + 1 sub will start the game.

I did not get nearly as far this week on league features as I wanted because of time spent on maps. However, progress has been made.

/clan drop <partial nick, @, or id> and /clan kick <partial nick, @, or id> have been implemented. All clan captains have the ability to use these commands. The <partial nick, @, or id> works exactly the same as nickname and rating commands. To be extra safe to avoid accidentally kicking the wrong person it is recommended that you select a player using "/@ <aka>" or "/P <nick autofill>" to select a player and then use "/kick @" to kick the player you selected with the previous command. The kick command uses the built-in kick function so it starts at 2m and increases if same player is kicked multiple times.

For the moment clan captains can use these commands at any time. In the future they will likely be restricted to only using these commands while the server is in clan vs clan mode. Any abuse of these commands will result in removal of your powers.

I made a change to the /clan lobby command added last week. It can no longer be used mid game for capts to stop SL matches. Seemed unwise to make it so easy to stop a league game and you must use /voteStopTournament or have an admin stop (they still have the power to stop games).

Be aware that all ladder admins server powers have been revoked (except mine). This is part of the transition to a new ladder admin system fully controlled by the server parser. Ladder admins temporarily will not be able to changemap, ban, start tournament, etc. For now they only have access to the same /clan drop and /clan kick commands as clan captains. I am mostly doing this now because I am worried that an admin using a server command at a time the parser does not expect could potentially break things. Although things are likely to break sometime this season with league features under heavy development, I am trying to avoid having the parser crash during SL and stat collection going offline.

Website has been updated with more SL info. Most of the database work has been completed to support better displaying SL results. However, I did not get the parser updated to support real time updates (knowing what games are for SL and automatically updating results as they happen). At the moment I have to do a very small amount of manual data entry to get everything displaying where it should on the website. I will be doing this between my games tomorrow so there won't be much delay in results being displayed on the site.

Use of SL lobby for clan vs clan games is now enforced. /clan start and /votestarttournament will not work unless in SL lobby.

Final preseason games between Ball and Vlix have been uploaded.

Sorry for the delay in getting this done. Also I forgot to delete the chat sound before the first of the two games so you will hear that in the background throughout that game.

I will not be recording games again this week and likely not until midseason due to being busy working on league features and making sure things go smoothly. Later this season I expect to begin recording games again.
