Welcome to the sign ups and information thread of the 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 Space-PvP Leagues!
After getting some interest in these formats in a previous thread I've decided to start up these leagues and give it all a shot. Now for clarification, I'm announcing the creation of three independent leagues for players to compete in against each other. All players are welcome to sign-up and compete and players will be able to compete in all three leagues at once.
While each league will have some rules specific to it (such as maximum time length and kill scores) but there are a number of general rules that will apply to all leagues. Additionally all players are requested and required to join the new channel
LeaguePvP for coordination, match results, and so as to not clog up OPvP with our fun

.

L1 (1v1League);
L2 (2v2 League);
L3 (3v3 League)

[*]All matches will have maximum time limits, the length of which is specific to each league
[*]All matches are required to have at least one official observer present to ensure fair play and enforce rules[list=0]
[*]Observers will screenshot the results of a given match then submit it, said screenshot is considered the official results upon being submitted

[*]League Format[list=0]
[*]All Leagues are organized into brackets, starting bracket positions are determined by random draw
[*]Each League will run in seasons, the length of a season is determined by the number of participants
[*]As matches are posted, players/teams will have one week (12:00 am Eastern US Sunday morning - 11:59 pm Saturday night) to complete and post their match, this length of time is to ensure that all timezones and work schedules can be met and allow for the maximum number of participants.[list=0]
[*]Matches that are in progress when the week runs out will still be counted[/list]
[*]Any match that ends in a tie must be replayed
[*]All matches/brackets/info will be posted on the first page of this thread (posts 2 and 3 where applicable)
[*]Following the Championship match of a given League, there will be one week for new sign ups before the next season begins[/list]
[*]2v2 and 3v3[list=0]
[*]As said above, players can compete in all three leagues at the same time, however they cannot be on more than one team within a given League.
[*]Teams are
not restricted to a player's fleet, any player may be on any team.
[*]In an effort to prevent zombie matches, teams in the 2v2 and 3v3 Leagues much meet a ship-point calculation to qualify for play (more as you read on).[/list]

Observers:
Those who wish to be considered to become official observers should PM me here or in the game, if you are approved to be one then you'll be listed here and made an operator in the LeaguePvP channel.
*Note that since observers can also compete in the leagues, you will only be approved to be an observer if you have a history of being impartial and can be unbiased in matches while enforcing the rules. If you cannot be impartial then observer/operator status will be denied/revoked without hesitation.
Let the sign-ups begin!
Season 1 sign-ups end at 8:00 pm eastern on Saturday the 23rd of June, and the season will start the next day.

Thanks to all who've signed up so far, I'll update the second post with a short listing of those who are looking for teammates for the 2v2 and 3v3 leagues to make it easier on people. Additionally I'll contact those who requested to be Observers as I find you online over the next few days.
