Sorry all for the delayed update, but the updated bracket is now in the second post and as it says there, the second week has begun.
Due to some miscommunication, those who have not yet completed their match can complete them this week, however I would like to be either ready for or done with the 3rd round in the bracket by the end of this week. I'm trying to get this season done so that I can convert it to a ladder format and get everybody playing again.
----
Sign ups for the 2v2 and 3v3 leagues are closed and it's looking like we have enough to actually begin those leagues now. Based on the experiences that we've had so far with the 1v1 league I'll be converting these leagues to a ladder format, adding 5-10 minutes to the maximum time length of a match in all Leagues and an anti-zombie clause to the 1v1 league until the end of Season 1.
So you don't have to go scrolling through the rules to find the new Ladder format, here's what it will be:
All Leagues will run on a Ladder format
Within a Ladder, no players/teams are eliminated upon loosing
Players/Teams can play up to 6 matches per week that count towards the Ladder (rated matches)
In an effort to prevent stat padding, players/teams cannot face the same opponent more than twice during a given week
Ladder position and scoring takes place on a 0-0-0-0 (win-loss-tie-AL)
Tie games count as .5 of a win
AL's (Additional Losses) subtract .5 from your wins, this is to discourage throwing matches once players/teams have their 6 rated matches played
Season length is determined according to the size of the given league but will range anywhere from 4-12 weeks, and at the end of each season there will be a 2-8 player/team playoff to determine the Season's champion.
If this fails then I'll try to convert the leagues to an arena point system similar to WoW's, though that would be a lot more work for me.
Anyway, I'll post the 2v2 and 3v3 leagues soon so yall can get to it.

This is cool, hope we get a few more televised matches as the tournament heats up
The match I had today would have been Youtubed but due to Zorena not being able to follow my opponent properly and other issues it didn't happen. Better luck next time I guess. Congrats again to my Opponent.

I'm still waiting on info from one team to start everything up so provided you give me your setup(s) now you're in if you still want to sign up.

There were no official observers online for the third match, but our build was the same and we both agreed to ask to someone in OPVP, cause setup for this match was a little bit difficult due to several hours of difference in time zone between us.
Thank you to @practicing01 for observing us.
As an aside, if a kill-less draw isn't a valid match, I'm quite happy to drop the Excel-R and field another ship.
Sorry mate, I did about 7x more damage than you, and about 20% more global score (healing + damage) in the last match.
Also, you did 10 times more healing than damage (roughly 1 million healing vs 100k damage).
You should've thought about this before.
This is my second kill-less match in this league, and i think this is how it works.
Waiting for official decision before contacting next opponent, however.

That's fine I suppose, but the total damage figure doesn't explain what actually happened in game. Neither of us really dropped below ~60% hull, and neither of us had any real advantage either way. Both of us were technically capable (ironically I wasn't even running a zombie build, I switched to a TB in the third game if you'll remember).
While I can accept a damage rule in the interests of making the league run smoother, it would've been helpful had such a rule been in the original post.
I have to head out for night shift (it's 8pm here in England) but as I've said, I'm quite happy to field another ship, one that can actually die (the only reason I didn't was because I missed the deadline to slot in an alternate build).
However, if he wants to have another go, I don't think it's fair to hulkhogan.ita to have only one ship since I've now had experience with his build. It's up to him, though.
There was an official observer (Prince) for the first two matches, he can tell you how the match actually was.
The third one, as you can see from the scoreboard, was nearly identical.
However, I agree that, according to the rules, matches without an official observer are not valid.
But according to the very same rules, also using a ship not declared at the beginning is invalid, so he'll have to use his Excelsior if we decide to have another match.
And as he say, it will be unfair changing ship at this point.
Also changing build after playing 60 minutes against mine could be considered an unfair advantage.
But in those conditions, with nearly the same build on both sides, another 20 minutes (after 60 already played) against him will produce the very same result: 0-0 and me roughly 7 times his damage.
So basically, I disagree with this decision, but if it is final, I will be online for a couple of hours everyday from 23:00 GMT+6.
Before that time I can only be online for chatting but not for playing (cause I'm in the office and i connect to STO through remote desktop from there).

pm me in game @marctraider or any other official observer, I'll be around for at least a couple more hours.
But if one of you do not agree on this then I will have to discuss the matter with Sivar.
However, if he wants to have another go, I don't think it's fair to hulkhogan.ita to have only one ship since I've now had experience with his build. It's up to him, though.
