Anthony Endsor Hi Dave. Will the divisions be decided randomly, or will they be seeded by proranks, etc? | |
Dave Robjohns Ah yes sorry, forgot to mention! Current plan is to seed the first set of divisions on current standard rating to give us a reasonable starting point :)

Dave Robjohns Still a few more days to sign-up before we kick things off on Thursday.

Dave Robjohns Final 24 hours to enter folks! | |

Dave Robjohns We're about halfway through the season now! Still a fair few games to go in every division but generally that's down to one or two players who've been less active.

Dave Robjohns One week left to finish your league games! Games not completed will be considered on a case by case basis, so if you've aptomailed your opponent and they haven't responded you'll likely be given the game. In the cases of Anoush/Mich who've so far not played, they'll currently lose all games.

Dave Robjohns So, season 1 done and we saw a reasonable 75% of games completed by the deadline. 25% of those were won on crucials, so nice to see the league producing close games as intended.

Dan Byrom Somehow managed to get most maxes and still only win one game out of eight!

Notes from the organizer: Presenting AptoLeague, a set of tournaments for players of all ratings to test themselves against opponents of similar ratings.
Do well and you can achieve promotion to the next tier, struggle and you may face relegation.
I intend to run the league as 3 month long seasons (the first of which is April-June), as follows:
Now -> Mid April: Sign-ups
Mid April -> Mid June: League stage. Depending on entrants, everyone will be split into divisions (most likely of 8 or 10) and all play all once. Similar to sports divisions, games will likely be added 1-2 at a time each week.
Mid June -> End June: A few promotion/relegation playoffs!
Mid June -> Mid July: Sign-ups for 2nd season
Alongside this I plan to run a handicap league cup - from season 2 onwards handicaps would be based on your average raw league score.
Sign-ups are set to be open for 4 weeks currently. I intend to start the leagues on 16th April but due to the short notice will allow further sign-ups for 2 weeks. Should there be enough interest after this deadline, an extra tier will be formed.
Once a bit more is known about entry numbers etc, I'll be creating a google doc so you can track your progress.
All are welcomed to sign up! The idea is to give people of all ratings a tough - but winnable - challenge!
I'll add anything else I can think of saying in the comments - please feel free to ask any queries there too.
