Quote:

Ladder Entry and Positioning:

• Teams sign up for the ladder by announcing so in an official Pinnacle Ladder League thread.
• Initial ladder placement will occur when the first match takes place between the teams that have signed up for the ladder.

After these initial matches has taken place, the following procedures will be in place:

• Teams climb rungs by challenging teams on higher rungs.
• Challenges must be accepted by teams that are less than 1 rung higher than the challenging team.
• Challenges can be made to teams 2 rungs higher than the challenging team to vie for position and rank.
• Challenging teams can only move up 1 rung at a time by winning matches against teams on higher rungs.
• Challenges are to be made and responded to in the official Pinnacle PvP Ladder League topic.
• Challenges must be responded to within 72 hours and a match must be scheduled within a week of challenge acknowledgement or the challenging team is awarded a forfeit.
• Each Ladder team registered are only allowed 5 players on their given roster. 4 starters and 1 bench/sub.
• Players under the ladder team must be signed up using their global names.
• Challenges can only be made one team at a time, due to scheduling constraints and fluctuation of rankings.

Banned Powers List:

• Banned: Dominator Poisonous Ray
• Banned: Corrupter Lingering Radiation

Team Captains must be able to show proof for a ruling to be made on the use of restricted powers, enhancements, and/or procs. Use of the above-listed powers will result in a forfeit for the violating team.

Match Rules:

• All matches will take place in Pocket D, Pinnacle Server.
• Matches will consist of 10-minute rounds (or if agreed to by captains, could be any time duration). Rounds will be played until 2 rounds out of 3, have been won by one of the teams. (or if captains agree, could be best of 5 or 7)
• Matches will be 4v4.
• In the *rare* event that both teams have all 5 of their members present and agree to run it, a 5v5 can be done.
• Round Wins: The team that has scored the most kills at the end of a 10 minute round (or agreed upon format) is the winner of that round. Rounds in which Sudden Death occurs are considered ties, no matter the result of the Sudden Death Round.
• Round Draws: Round will be replayed with the same lineups submitted initially on a random map.



Round Details:

• Round Length: All rounds will be 10 minutes in length. (or any length above the minimum 10 minute mark if both captains agree)
• Round Settings: All rounds will be set with only the following options selected: No Travel Suppression; No Heal Decay; Small Inspirations Only, Super Heavyweight.
• Map Selection and Illegal Maps: Map selection will be set to Home, Away, Random. The challenging team is considered to be the away team. Resets occur if the map draw is: Monkey Cage, Office, or Cave
• Each team is allowed one reset within 60 seconds of round start if a player did not load into the round, disconnected, or loaded in off-team. Teams will play short-handed if their reset has been spent. If a round is reset, the line-ups submitted for that round are to be played again with no AT alterations and on the same map.
• Only small inspirations and temp powers bought from the Arena Store are allowed. No Base Buffs or special inspirations (i.e. Presents and SoWs) are permitted.
• No Ouroboros portals will be permitted during the match.
• All matches must start within 15 minutes of the agreed upon match time. This includes time required to submit and approve line-ups.
• Match Results: The captain of the winning team must post the match results in the official ladder thread within 24 hours of match completion. Both team captains should be prepared to supply screenshots of the results for all rounds if necessary.


Line-up Submission Rules and Procedures:

• Prior to each round of a match, the captains of each team will be required to present their lineups via private tells to a neutral, 3rd party line-up taker (agreed upon by team captains).
• The 3rd party line-up taker will ask both captains for their lineups at least 5 minutes prior to the start of each round. The line-up taker will announce that the round is playable once he or she has received both team line-ups. The line-up taker will NOT disclose the line-ups to anyone until both line-ups have been received.
• A team will forfeit the round if they do not submit a line-up prior to that round.
• A team will forfeit the round if they run any line-up other than the one submitted to the line-up taker.
• 1 Stalker Limit
• No more than 2 of the same ATs (ie: No more than 2 blasters, 2 veats, 2 tanks, etc...)
• VEATS are all the same regardless of being a bane/fort/widow/crab

Crap double post if you are looking at the other thread as well. Rodent is officially captain, but this his first ever PvP event, and he is MIA with internet issues, so I am helping out with PR work for our team.

Neuronia, GGG would officially be facing us, if we can work it into the rules to have them skip us that would be great for now as the bigger concern is keeping our team together with varying schedules and RL issues


on another note someone with space please pick up garent or neuronia...we DO NOT want those two forming up on the same team :P


Pinnacle
Targutmunky Kin/Rad Def
Negative Fallout Rad/Dark Def
Abyss Hunter DM/Regen Scrap
Super Bug Spines/Regen Scrap

Yeah, maybe.

I'm more interested in settling a roster for the Champion Ladder atm, waiting for confirmation from you and your partner about it.

I'd like to continue this Ladder, though ideally Garent and I could grab a few other Pinnheads to make a team.
Thanks for the offer.

Basically, this is the general issue with most Ladders/Leagues. People are willing to play, but are less likely to "go out on a limb" and lead new teams. So as a member of the community trying to get something going, the problem becomes spurring people on to actually lead. Once someone's agreed to give it a shot, the actual filling of the team roster itself is far less laborious.

So, in order to get a quick couple of teams in *this* event, we just need a couple leaders to step up.

Btw, I moved a Psi/Em over to Champion. I stripped it a while back, but I'll cheap-slot it for the time being.

Champion's ladder is 3v3. 3v3s are lame.

Neuronia please remove me from Thats What she Said. This actually has nothing to do with the new blood in the league. Honestly I was for the new folks if only to smash them in the face once or twice even if I got wrecked every other time. But Financial reasons have reared their ugly heads once again. So I've been forced to unsub for an unknown amount of time.

Sorry to hear this Firaga, I'm glad our decision to join the league did not affect you in anyway. Hope you can make it back soon, would love to play against you in the future. GL with your problems.

ok Barron is back, so 320 "should" be taking challenges. . . .

Hey guys quick question. I saw a bunch of guys that have "undefeated" and "top Pinnacle PVP Team" in their signatures but they've not signed up to the league.

I don't understand. How can they be "top" teams if they don't play?

Sorry for the newbie question. I was just a bit confused.

You should use a different thread if you seriously want to ask that.
