Chariot of Fire wrote:Just a question - sorry if it has been asked/addressed in another forum. If the DD is creating the games and inviting the players why is there a need to also send the game sheet to the opposing clan contact by midnight on Sunday? From experience all this does is cause delay and gamesmanship (by not sending the oppo your home games until the last minute as you may find they have selected maps that are the same as your own and/or you don't want them to see what maps you have chosen).
Surely it's better for only the DD - an independent 3rd party - to be in receipt of the games and players by that deadline? After that, no probs - the game details can be sent to the opposing clan contact by PM just after the deadline (I understand the need for this, as it helps each clan organise the players for the away games).
Anyway, it matters not I guess.
Best of luck to all participants in our division. TOFU looks forward to meeting you on the battlefield.
Glad to see this met with a receptive audience. Good rule change.
Now....Magnificent Bastards....where the heck is the 4th player for Game 10450874 ? This is a Round 1 game and still hasn't started!

The 12 hour FOW rule will not be enforced at all. If two clans wish to use it (as a gentleman's agreement) then this must be done in advance of the round in which they play one another (there will be no penalties for not using it nor will there be any enforcement of the gentleman's agreement by TO's or DD's if it is breached). Games will not be re-made and results will not be changed.
CC Time Clarification
As there seems to be some discrepancy between CC time on this site and the time given by the [Time] function, one hour's grace will be given with all deadlines to ensure there is no unfair disadvantage.
Coming into effect for the start of week 3:
(Anything that has been added or changed since the first contacts were PM-ed by me earlier is in bold.) New Weekly Procedure
Weekly Game Exchange Schedule
(Changes in blue.)
A list of home game maps, settings and players need to be sent to the DD no later than Sunday night midnight CC time. If there is any ambiguity regarding maps and settings (e.g. a first contact states "Feudal", then the DD can use their judgement to decide what this means - e.g. "Feudal Epic"). [The opposition 1st contact no longer needs to be sent this list by PM]
The same list of home game maps, settings and players must be posted in the division thread (for the benefit of the opposing 1st contact) no later than Monday night midnight CC time. Failure to make this post will result in a random selection of one of the offending clan's home games in the next round having Random map settings (escalating, chained, sunny).
Monday and Tuesday (no earlier than Sunday night midnight CC time and no later than Tuesday night midnight CC time): DD will make all games and invite home players! Once games are created, they can be found anytime by clicking on the Division Table in the Division thread (this is also a link showing all games).
All home games should be filled by no later than Thursday night by midnight CC time!
A list of away players then must be sent to the DD no later than Wednesday night by midnight CC time! [The opposition 1st contact no longer needs to be sent this list by PM]
Thursday and Friday (no earlier than Wednesday night midnight CC time and no later than Friday night midnight CC time): DD will invite all away players to games!
All games should be up and running within 48 hours of the away invites - Sunday night by midnight CC time(if they are sent at the last minute then this may be later)!
Relevant Rulings:
The primary contacts are asked to PM to their Division Directors the players, maps and settings for their home games in advance of each round (by Sunday no later than midnight CC time). If the deadline is not met then the Division Director will create Random games (Esc, Chained, Sunny) and will randomly invite players from the clan's preliminary player list (provided at the start of the season). Once details are sent to the Division Director there will be no changes allowed. [The opposition 1st contact no longer needs to be sent this list by PM]
The same list of home game maps, settings and players must be posted, by the home clan first contact, in the division thread (for the benefit of the opposing 1st contact) no later than Monday night midnight CC time. Failure to make this post will result in the Division Director randomly selecting two of the offending clan's away games in that round, and randomly assigning players to these two games from the clan's provisional list of players (the other away games will be assigned players as per the First Contact's list).
The primary contacts are also asked to PM to their Division Director their players for away games according to the weekly schedule (see below). If the deadline is not met the the Division Director will randomly invite players from the clan's preliminary player list (provided at the start of the season). Once details are sent to the Division Director there will be no changes allowed. [The opposition 1st contact no longer needs to be sent this list by PM]
If invites from the Division Director are not accepted (a second invite will be sent), then the Division Director will send invites to random members of the clan failing to join on time. If these invites are not accepted (first invite to new player) then the offending clan will not be able to win the game in question for league purposes (assuming the random replacement player joins from his/her second invite). If they do win, then the game will be declared a draw. If both clans failed to accept third invites then the game will deemed to be a draw/tie. If one clan fails to accept a fourth invite (random replacement player failing to join from his/her second invite) then the game in question will be awarded to the opposing clan. In these circumstances, if games are still played, they may still count towards other statistics, such as ranking systems.
Players no longer members of a clan should not appear on the clan's home or away lists, or their list of 10 provisional players (an update can be sent to the League Directors). If such a player appears on a home or away list or is randomly selected as a replacmeent player by the Division Director, then this will count as a missed invite, with the Division Director then randomly inviting an eligible player from the potential player list.

Summary of Significant Changes
Summary of Significant Changes
First contacts no longer have a requirement to PM lists to the opposing clan 1st contact, but they do have to post their home games list in the division thread (here) - no requirement to post or PM away games list.
First contacts still required to PM their home maps, settings and players to the DD, and, later, a list of away players.
Consequences introduced for clans failing to post game list in their division thread as detailed.
Clarification of DD deadlines in sending invites.
Confirmation that the division table is also a link to a list of all games to the division. This list is live and automatically updates as the Division Director creates games and sends invites. Individual fixtures also link to a list of games for that fixture (although this may appear 1-2 days after games are first created).
Consequences of missing a second invite by replacement player added.
