Recommended turn order based on play times:

@Hiliadan  If you are the only judge then why it's still shown on tourney's game blogs: "Judges: Hiliadan MARKYMARK"

We know/remember that thing now. But for a long period of 9 months someone can forget it.

And second thing, about the rules - maybe I misunderstanding something. But I thought that the order of changing players by the season result looks like in soccer table. But I see now that Zytozid is moving forward to the top league bypassing subleague 2-1. I'm glad for his such career's upgrade =)  But isn't it too high?

P.S. M-m-m, it looks like there is a mistake: "Overview Round 1 : 2-2 League #2 | Live Multiplayer ". Should there be "PBEM"?

Season 2 of the Championsleague can officially start!

Please check the rules: https://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=rules&tourneyid=17

The 4 classes and races allowed for the season are (based on random draws for classes and races):

Sorcerer
Rogue
Dreadnought
Necromancer

Draconians
Frostlings
Orcs
Tigrans

Please remember:

- you need to input you class and race on your game blog before starting. Your opponents (or anyone else) won't be able to see them, don't worry. The class & race will be revealed only after the game is reported (and they're not visible during the reporting process either). The game blog checks that you haven't already played the class/race in a previous match of the season, ensuring you respect the rule on class/race.

- judges will not check your settings: non-hosts are tasked with checking their opponents used the right settings. Do not start a game without checking! After you've started, it will be too late to complain to judges.

-all 3 matches of the season can be played simultaneously (but please enter your class/race for all, see first point above). Please respect your opponent if he cannot play 3 matches in parallel!

- the season will last maximum 9 months, potentially less if everyone plays fast

keika is on waiting list (substitutes) but is very likely to replace Sin Arcain, so our waiting list is actually empty.

I am for now the only judge. I'll see if 2 additional judges are required or not.

Good luck & have fun all participants!

Sin Arcain quitted!

== Championsleague ==

Season 2 is about to start! The roster has been generated: https://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=tourneyroster&tourneyid=17

I'm going to check with all the players that they're still in and otherwise, we have the following pool of substitutes (and if we get 4, then we add a "Tier 2" subleague): keika.

Blad_ua is replaced by DacrioS and Th30n is replaced by Markymark.

The rules haven't changed since season 1.

The classes allowed for this season are going to be randomly drawn this Sunday: https://www.randomresult.com/ticket.php?t=2946338YGTW6K38MT

Same for the races:https://www.randomresult.com/ticket.php?t=2946345ZG6GBTHH8R

So matches should be able to start on Monday following the race/class's picks.

Th30n quitted!

I am ready to join new season if there will be free slots.

Hi all! Season 1 of the Championsleague was won by mahimka, congratulations to him!

Here are the promotions/relegations of this season:

• promoted to the Top League:
  • Zytozid
  • Ezekiel
• demoted to the tier 2 Leagues (their league of "arrival" will be randomly chosen):
  • Blad_ua
  • El_Lobo
    

Season 2 is about to start, please get ready!

From my understanding, Blad_ua won't play season 2.

Dacrios and Markymark were on waiting list (substitutes). Could you both confirm (by private message) you're still interested?

@all: please contact players who might be interested to join, we can open up a tier 2 league if we get 16 players.

== 3 vs 3 Tournament ==

@Skuns: can you please remind me when that tournament started, ended, and who won it? So that I update the "Archive of old tournaments".

Hi all! The Championsleague can finally start, sorry for the delay!

All 12 players can now start their matches. Please check the rules: https://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=rules&tourneyid=17

The 4 classes and races allowed for the season are (based on random draws for classes and races):

Sorcerer
Rogue
Theocrat
Archdruid

High Elves
Dwarves
Orcs
Tigrans

We have several changes compared to previous tournament:

- you need to input you class and race on your game blog before starting. Your opponents (or anyone else) won't be able to see them, don't worry. The class & race will be revealed only after the game is reported (and they're not visible during the reporting process either). The game blog checks that you haven't already played the class/race in a previous match of the season, ensuring you respect the rule on class/race.

- judges will not check your settings: non-hosts are tasked with checking their opponents used the right settings. Do not start a game without checking! After you've started, it will be too late to complain to judges.

-all 3 matches of the season can be played simultaneously (but please enter your class/race for all, see first point above). Please respect your opponent if he cannot play 3 matches in parallel!

- the season will last maximum 9 months, potentially less if everyone plays fast

Dacrios and Markymark are on waiting list (substitutes).

I am for now the only judge. I'll see if 2 additional judges are required or not.

Good luck & have fun all participants!

I am still in especially when playing during the winter month...

4 players still missing:

Marcus
Moridor
ElLobo

Mahimka

Skuns is in vacations.

Hi there,

I ask everyone who has registered in the Champions League 2021 to confirm their participation with me (Markymark).

The confirmation can be made via messenger, via chat, via Steam or elsewhere.

Only when all participants have confirmed will I start planning again. If someone can't (anymore), please also report this and maybe tell me a replacement player. If everyone does this, it could go on.
