Editorial: League Wars are here!

Contributed by Chih Chan (aka Strange Quark)


After much anticipation, we finally have details on the upcoming League Wars.

Yes, LW1 is happening, and here are details on how to join, with dates for signing up, and the timeline of the actual event.

If you have not already noticed, your league page has instructions on how to register.

1: You need three league members to register (by clicking on the "Register" button), one of which must be the leader. Each league must have a minimum of seven members to participate.

2: Once the three members have registered, the average level of all members (except the lowest three levels) will be recorded. This will determine which division the league will compete in. It will be to your league's advantage if everyone rushes to level up *after* registration.

Note: After registration, the league's roster will be locked for the duration of the tournament. No member may be added or removed.

3: Sign up ends at 11:59 pm EST (GMT -5) on October 28.

4: Divisions will be announced the following day (October 29).

5: October 30 - First battle.

6: November 1 - Second battle.

7: November 3 - Third battle.

8: November 4 - Distribution of prizes.

Notes:

- Each battle lasts 24 hours, with a day's break in between. Start and end times are midnight to midnight EST (GMT -5).

- Each opponent can only be defeated twice a day (Beatdown Rule).

- League fights count as regular arena battles, and arena attacks count towards league war battles. **This means that you cannot "scout" your opponent in the arena during the war; it will count as a league war fight.**

- Defensive wins count as wins, but not as part of the 2x Daily Beatdown Rule.

 - Ties at the end of the 24-hour war will lead to an 8-hour extension.

- Each time an attacker makes an attack during a league war, that person cannot be attacked by others for 90 seconds. In the last hour of the battle, this duration will be reduced to 45 seconds.

Additional notes:

- Tournament divisions (brackets) and pairings will be determined by the average league level *upon registration* but the three lowest level players will not count towards the average level.
