The draft will take place this coming Sunday, 26th April @ 3pm ET. It will be livestreamed by Ozn with special guest appearance by the one and only BloodyEssence and can be viewed on http://twitch.tv/sirsetherz. We will have 1 round of pre-season the following Sunday, 3rd May, with regular match play beginning on Sunday, 10th May.


We are also looking into the possibility of playing weekday matches whilst we are in lockdown, but that is dependent on squad make-up and ultimately must be a decision for each captain. Sign-ups will remain open, so if you know anyone who might be interested please forward this link https://forms.gle/MqsnCs9Wuy5yLVbf8 to the sign up form. 


Additionally, I have reached out to Qan from Trench Wars to hopefully get something posted on the official Subspace Steam page. Looking forward to some balanced teams and seeing everyone have a chance to win and get their name on A1 (possibly A4 or wherever it fits on the map).

Peek

Well, well, well... I've been gone a bit, or so it would seem, since 2012 to most of you, yet to me, just a couple days (you wouldn't understand).

So tell me, what's new around here?!  What have I missed in the game? 

Yours  Truly,
The Real Picard
The ONE and Only! 

Next season we will be trying out a short round-robin draft. The details have been discussed in length by the Pro Council. Details can be found below:


Draft Teams and Process

-Each draft team will start with a captain.
-The draft time and date will be determined after the draft signup is complete
-The draft will be completed in the same manner as fantasy football drafts, thus requiring each captain's attendance on the date and time. 
-When the draft begins all captains will be placed into a random number generator to determine their draft turn.
-The first 2 picks by each team cannot be a player from the Captain’s previous squad.
--Example: For Ozn’s first 2 picks he cannot choose Euripedes.
--This also applies to players who didn’t play last season. (ie TVB and Kingnewbie can’t return and pick Legacy)
-Draft picks will go on until every player that signed up has been drafted
-Signups will end in round 5

4v4 Changes

There will be no changes to the 4v4 format. All rules from previous seasons apply.

(Winners of draft league will be placed at A1 in a new winners area to the right of the standard league winners)

Scheduling


Flex scheduling is available to teams that organize it. All games will be pre-loaded for Sunday at the standard times. If a team wants to flex schedule they must reach out to Grunster to request a time to play. That said, we have an opportunity whilst we're all in lockdown to increase match frequency if there is enough support. If not, we'll play at regular times on Sunday.

Aliasing

You must sign up with a known name. There will be no ringers or banned people trying to veil themselves. If you’re using an alias and claiming it’s your only name you will be alias checked and subsequently voted on by the Pro Council.


Sign Up

If you wish to participate in the draft sign up below. If you want to be a captain check the respective box.

Firstly, congrats to Critical Mass for winning season 45. The 2 games vs TD were well contested by both teams and IMO, one of the better finals of recent memory.  

With that said, I think it's in everyone's best interest to get the new season started as quickly as possible, meaning, we will not have the usual 4-6 week break in between. So, for those of you willing to form squads please sign up below.

Peeking and Storm commentate on this one, thanks. Critical Mass wins a well fought finals vs The Dark. GG both squads!  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgl1Z3R2q9iJ5u1c0-J0MoQ/
