It's been a long time coming but we've finally a TDM ladder, courtesy of BFCL. We will be using a ladder rather than a league format, allowing for (hopefully) easier match scheduling and a more relaxed atmosphere.

This ladder is recommended for the following types of players and teams:

-Those who enjoy TDM as a game type, i.e., the required skill, and luck's miniscule role
-Those wishing to improve theirs and their team's DM skills and coordination
-Those who would enjoy more Legions matches
-Those currently intimidated by CTF play and its intricacies
-Those who wish to play legions competitively, but aren't sure where to begin
-Those who missed the BFCL CTF cutoff date
-Those who believe TDM to be shallow and skilless
-Those who simply enjoy shooting people

Registration Info:
You'll have to sign up separately for BFCL's ladder section - your Legions league registration won't cut it (yes, I'm well aware it's a pain). The ladder section may be reached here: http://www.bfcl.info/ladder/ladders.php

Rules:
The full ruleset may be reached through the main ladder section (see above)
Briefly:

- 6 v 6 Competition: greater accessibility for smaller teams while allowing for larger maps

- 2 Maps per match, Kill Limit of 100*, no Time Limit: maps will be chosen by the teams, one each (duh)
*Note:  To prevent team killing (i.e., subverting your opponents' points), overall deaths will determine the winner (i.e., the team with fewer deaths is the victor . . . again, duh)

- Cumulative Scoring (i.e., you're essentially playing to 200 kills)

-Class Restrictions: Maximum of 1 sentinel and 1 sniper per team; all other classes are unrestricted**
**Note: Done to restrict turtling


Goals:

With this ladder we hope to encourage match play, increases in individual and team DM skill, and increased team communication. While the ladder will have its share of highly-skilled TDM teams, we also wish to provide a less daunting environment for those teams newly-formed. As such, a relaxed approach will be taken toward match scheduling. For example, should two teams have online the requisite six players, they may opt to play a TDM ladder match, even without prior negotiation. (Both captains would have to report match results).

So that's it - I encourage all current clans to sign up. And hey, if you want to gather five friends and start a new team, that's great too. Good luck, and for the love of Legions, let's try to have some fun.

*Edit* Apparently, prior to my posting, we had 4 teams on the ladder already. Nice response people.

Good idea, I personally think 6v6 is a bit large, but it's your ladder so let's hope this works out fine!

QQQQ

Only one sent per team.   Nah, I understand the rationale behind that move.  I'm not the turtling kind of Sentinel anyhow.

Anyways, I'd love to join you, but I don't have enough time for another comp league right now.  Good luck with the ladder Nept!

Heh....

Hopefully Void| signs up for this....I'm ready for some DM action.

i dont get BFCL... do i have to sign up again?  My login only works for the 7v7 league...

what?  i was supposed to read the OP?  ;P

No Redvan, you did it the right way. What would I do the whole day when there were less of these shtoopit questions?

[DISCLAIMER: To all smartypants out there: This post is NOT meant to be taken seriously. YES, you ARE supposed to read before you post! NO, do NOT spam me with shtoopit questions.]

good good... because i pay people to read the OP... sometimes they dont tell me vital information...

Is it possible for one man to challenge many, on the proviso that his server is used for the match?

PS. I hate you nept.

ROUGE HOST

Nept, can i join,and if so, how?
