Legions International Competitive League - Season 1

Ok, with Public Test servers being so stable and live about to be hugely updated, I think it is now time for the Legions International Competitive League! The rules have been tweaked slightly, they are as follows:

Gameplay:

  • Each team will consist of a 10 man roster, with matches being 7v7
  • Round Robin system (all team get to play equal amount of games with points given in the game. team with most points at end of season wins)
    • If there is a tie at end of season it will be decided by a 1 match playoff
  • There will be 2 matches per game with alternating alpha-beta sides
  • Home/away servers will be predetermined (not via coin flip)
  • Teams will pick sides depending on a coin toss (winner of toss will chose which side they want to play first, alpha or beta)
  • Map will be predetermined for each round of the tournament
  • There is no rescheduling so we can get this tournament moving and not have us wait for a team to get people
  • Each team must submit 2 screen-shots of the final score, one for each match
    • If your team does not submit a screen shot within 24-hours of the match, you automaticaly forefit that match.
  • Substitutions will be allowed but only if 5 of your original players are on
    • Subs will be chosen on agreement between the captains of each team.
  • The tournament is planned to be held during a weekend during early afternoon hours (est) and evening hours (euros).
  • Servers will be located in a central point for all players involved.
Rules:
  • Sniper Limit set to 1
  • No blatant rabbiting to prolong game or prevent score
  • No turtling
  • HoF Limit set to 1
  • Breaking the rules will result in a loss on that match, and therefore the game/set
Maps:
  • Frostbyte
  • Zenith
  • Fallout
  • Core
  • Elegiac
Scoring:
  • Match Win = 1pt
  • Match Tie = 0.5pt
  • Game Win = 2pt
  • Game Tie = 1pt

Sign up is located here, please have only 1 representative from each team sign up the team. And be advised there are some nice plans in the works for the league, even if you don't have a team I suggest you keep tuned in ;)

I also ask everyone that if they are going to replay with negative comments to please keep it to themselves.

Legions International Competitive League - Launch

Welcome to the official launch of the Legions International Competitive League!  The LICL is a league of international gamers competing to showcase their Legions: Overdrive skills.  What is Legions: Overdrive?  Legions (for short) is the child of the Tribes Series, featuring fast placed gameplay and one of the few first-person shooter games that actively uses the z-axis.  For a long time it went by the name of Fallen Empire: Legions, however when Instant Action shut down and the game was sold, it became known as Legions: Overdrive.


Before now a legions competition would have been hard to control, however with the announcement of upcoming user-created servers, we are able to create a competition and regulate it actively.  If you're not familiar with the game, check it out at LegionsOverdrive.com.  Stay tuned for further announcements on LICL and the upcoming Season 1.
