Since I created my tournaments later than awesomeusername You can expect me to start my tournaments at 6z Saturday.

dammit i didn't realize it was WR :P Guess we'll just see how this goes :D

I'm starting the higher tournaments now!

I'll let you know what the promotions and relegations look like after Aura Guardian starts his tomorrow. In particular, tier F has (just like last time) been consolidated into 2 groups, so there will probably be lots of promotions from G.

Meanwhile, some of the groups are already due for an update:

Group A
Master of the Dead (3-0)
timon92 (1-0)
master of desaster (2-1)
Timinator (0-0)
rocky1 (1-2)
Krzysztof (0-1)
FlyingBender (0-3)

For once, Group A just might be the first group to finish this season. Master of the Dead, master of desaster, rocky1, and FlyingBender have already completed all of their games against each other, with Master of the Dead emerging as the one to beat in his first season at the top tier. He still has to go through timon92 and Timinator, however, who are both still undefeated and together have won the last three seasons of P/R League.

Group D1
Platinum (2-0)
13CHRIS37 (1-0)
AWESOMEGUY (1-1)
Min34 (0-0)
graemes (0-0)
ChrisCMU (0-1)
독일남자(Rob) (0-2)

Platinum has hit the ground running, scoring two quick wins over his former allies in Lynx. There's still a lot of games to play, though, and nobody's really out yet - this looks like an extremely competitive D group. Meanwhile, Chris defeats Chris.

None of the other groups have completed any games yet.

I haven't received a new game in 2 days :O

Hurry up slackers!

Mine hasn't started so go to hell

I just got my games today 😂

Why can't the tournament be 6 games at once?

We all know the old ladder are for the players who can handle anything!!!!

All my tournaments are started. Turkish (D2) PhuciliJerry(E1) MisterT(E1) did not join their tournaments.

Now that all the groups have started, here's what promotions and playoffs currently look like. I've altered Pushover's default promotion/relegation scheme so that each dropout either means 1 less relegation at that level or one more promotion from the level below. Last place in a group will always be guaranteed to relegate. I tried to avoid any tiebreaker playoffs involving more than two players (especially any 5-player ones from G, that would be nasty), so things look a little wonky right now. Also, with a large number of players disappearing from F again, we're going to have to resort to super-promotions from G again, even though that's not supposed to happen.

TIER A - 2 relegate (gain 2 from B)
6th-7th place relegate

TIER B - 2 promote (gain 2 from A), 3 relegate (gain 3 from C)
1st-2nd place promote, 5th-7th place relegate

TIER C - 2 dropped out, 3 promote (gain 3 from B), 3 relegate (gain 5 from D)
Group C1 - 6 players: 1st place promotes, 6th place relegates
Group C2 - 6 players: 1st place promotes, 6th place relegates
2nd place C1 and 2nd place C2 will play off to determine 3rd promotion
5th place C1 and 5th place C2 will play off to determine 3rd relegation

TIER D - 1 dropped out, 5 promote (gain 3 from C), 3 relegate (gain 6 from E)
Group D1 - 7 players: 1st-2nd place promote, 7th place relegates
Group D2 - 6 players: 1st-2nd place promote, 6th place relegates
3rd place D1 and 3rd place D2 will play off to determine 5th promotion
6th place D1 and 5th place D2 will play off to determine 3rd relegation

TIER E - 3 dropped out, 6 promote (gain 3 from D), 5 relegate (gain 6 from F, 5 from G)
Group E1 - 5 players: 1st place promotes, 5th place relegates
Group E2 - 7 players: 1st-2nd place promote, 6th-7th place relegate
Group E3 - 6 players: 1st-2nd place promote, 6th place relegates
2nd place E1 and 3rd place E2 will play off for 6th promotion
4th place E1 and 5th place E3 will play off for 5th relegation

TIER F - 7 dropped out, 6 promote (gain 5 from E), 2 relegate (gain 10 from G)
Group F2 - 7 players: 1st-3rd place promote, 7th place relegates
Group F3 - 7 players: 1st-3rd place promote, 7th place relegates

TIER G - 5 promote to E, 10 promote to F (gain 2 from F, rest will be filled with newbies)
Group G1 - 7 players: 1st place promotes to E, 2nd-3rd place promote to F
Group G2 - 7? players: 1st place promotes to E, 2nd-3rd place promote to F
Group G3 - 7 players: 1st place promotes to E, 2nd-3rd place promote to F
Group G4 - 7 players: 1st place promotes to E, 2nd-3rd place promote to F
Group G5 - 7? players: 1st place promotes to E, 2nd-3rd place promote to F

Ordinarily I'd promise that I won't take away promotions or add more relegations, but with the potential for a 5-way tie in tier G, I don't think I can promise that (in particular, F may get more relegations). However, I will do my best to avoid that sort of situation.

Edited 2/15/2017 15:53:59

I would like to join or join the waitlist if it is not too late.

It's never too late! Added you.

Who wins Division A intregues me. Timi and Timon are playing, so we may have to wait a while to see who will challenge MoTD's unbeaten mark with an unbeaten mark.

take me out from the next one; I don't like WR

Concept

The Promotion/Relegation League is a seasonal group of round-robin Warlight tournaments, always on the classic “strategic middle earth” map and settings with 0% weighted random luck. (This is not the same as the template currently used for the 1v1 ladder.)

Y'all need to read the not-even-fine-print before you sign up to something.

How about an update?

On its way, been busy in real life this week but I'm hoping to get an update up tomorrow.

I haven't forgotten. :)

I'm bored, so a little helping hand :)

Group A
Master of the Dead 5-0
Krzysztof 3-2
master of desaster 3-2
timon92 2-2
rocky1 1-3
Timinator 0-1
Flying Bender 0-4

MotD has all but wrapped up the title! Only an unlikely 5 game streak from Timi can stop him. Krzysztof holds the H2H record over MoD for 2nd, but timon could join them, making the remaining games pivotal. At the other end, FB will almost certainly need to win both games to have any chance of staying up. rocky may need to beat timon, depending on the progress of Timi, who hasn't completed enough games to form an assessment at this stage.

Group B

smileyleg 2-0
Buns157 2-1
almosttricky2-1
JV 1-1
Jefferspin 1-2
Bigchps147 1-3
Beren • apex 0-1

smileyleg makes the early running, with wins against JV and Bigchps. Buns won the H2H with almosttricky to give him 2nd as things stand, whilst JV sits in the middle. Bigchps beat Jefferspin, if H2H comes into it, whilst Beren needs to finish a few more games before we label him at risk.

Group C1
Dom365 1-0
awesomeusername 0-0
Metatron 0-0
Mirror 0-0
USA Biches 0-0
Master Bjarke 0-1

Given Pushover's disappearance, this group was very late to start, with only 1 game completed so far.

Group C2
Oh Noes 4-1
Arkanton 3-2 (1-0)
Hades 3-2 (0-1)
Sułtan Kosmitów 2-3 (1-0)
Master Jz 2-3 (0-1)
Master Turtle 1-4

By contrast, the other C group has already finished, with Oh Noes claiming victory with just the solitary blip. Arkanton won the H2H to knock Hades to 3rd, whilst Sultan's victory against Jz claims 4th for him. MT brings up the rear, having claimed just the solitary victory.

Group D1
13CHRIS37 4-0
AWESOMEGUY 3-2
graemes 2-2
Platinum 2-2
ChrisCMU 1-2
Min34 0-1
독일남자(Rob) 0-3

Chris has stormed to an almost unassailable lead; with games against the winless pair to come, only Min can knock him off top spot. AG leads the chasing pack; he has the H2H over graemes, who holds it over Platinum, who holds it over AG, should a tie need breaking. Chris will look to get in amongst them, whilst Min & Rob need victories fast.

Group D2
PanagiotisTheGreekFreak 4-0
Cata Cauda 3-0
Don [ Ω ] 2-2
Ryzys 0-1
DR. Love 0-3
Maréchal Lannes, duc de Montebello 0-3

A very fragmented group. Pana vs Cata, currently on turn 8, appears to be the decider, whilst Don looks pretty lonely in an isolated 3rd. The bottom 3 are winless in a combined 7 games, giving their games against each other extra significance.

Group E1
Andersault 0-0
AWOL Gls AJ 0-0
Countess 0-0
culpa 0-0
Semicedevine 0-0

Not an awful lot to report here, in truth.

Group E2
rouxburg 3-0
Math Wolf 2-0
Varroa DeStructor 2-1
ferede 1-2
[NL] bassoonplayer 0-1
tomjh 0-1
Hostile 0-3

rouxburg vs MW, current on picks, looks set to determine the group winner, although there's still a few games to go before the winner is clear. Varroa has the H2H over ferede should it prove necessary, whilst bassoon & tom both have identical records, having both lost to MW. Hostile needs wins against his fellow strugglers, when the games are made, to haul himself out of trouble.

Group E3
dry-clean-only 2-0
Hunta 1-0
Hasdrubal 1-1
Pink 0-0
butterfly94 0-1
MightySpeck (a Koala) 0-2

Only a few games completed here, with dry clean taking the early lead.

Group F2
Njord 2-0
Motoki - モトキ 1-0
mslasm 2-1
Coyote151 1-1
Electric_Kitten 1-1
bobbob000 0-2
carlos12.0 0-2

Given that F1 was split over F2 & F3, the F groups started a little later, and are a little larger, although F2 is beginning to take an early shape, with the top 2 unbeaten.

Group F3
KKND 2-1
[FCC] Aura Guardian 2-1
BADA 0-0
Benjamin628 0-0
Kevin Turner 0-0
Doron Hoh 1-2
MIFRAN 1-2

Although only early days, the group looks interesting, with only the slow trio, yet to complete a game, yet to lose.

Group G1
Great Expanse 3-0
krunx 1-0
Rikku 1-0
Kaerox 2-1
[*Voo*] tomn555 1-2
Phaeril 1-2
Coronel Gavilan 0-4

Great Expanse has the early lead, although his last two games will be against the other 100% records in the group, both of whom have the solitary win so far. Kaerox sits in mid-table, whilst Tom's H2H over Phaeril may prove crucial. CG looks cut-off from the rest, although his last two games are against the two directly above him, giving him a glimmer of hope.

Group G2
Ink Splatoon 2-0
Master Farah♦ 2-0
Des {TJC} 1-1
Doc 1-1
The Royal Canadian Empire 1-1
El professor 0-0
Andresso 0-2
Tac(ky)tical 0-2

Ink and Farah appear to have bolted for the promotion spots, making their H2H pivotal. Des, Doc and TRCE haven't yet faced off, giving us no H2H yet, whilst Andresso and Tac need victories to haul themselves into promotion contention.

Group G3
The Adversary 3-0
Tjoex 3-0
blat.be-bop 2-1
Naram-Sin 1-1
Apollo 2-3
Rubin 1-3
Alexander The Only One 0-4

TA & joe both hold 100% records thus far, and will face off in their last game, which may be pivotal. blat & Naram only have a defeat apiece, giving them genuine hope of getting in amongst the promotion spots, but Apollo and Rubin need to hope for a highly unlikely multi-way tie to get near the top.

Group G4
Edge 5-0
Uki 4-1
ViralGoat 2-3
Terek 1-2
Dannybhoy 1-3
Bayern München is the best! 0-1
zanbato 0-3

Assuming bayern is not to make an unlikely dash for first, Edge has wrapped up first, having the H2H edge over Uki, who will almost certainly claim 2nd. Terek could be in a good spot for 3rd, having the H2H advatange over VG, but wins are needed all round to push everyone up the table.

Group G5
.. this guy 1-0
Mr. Nobody 3-1
ARand0mPlayer 2-1
Matt431 0-0
ScarlettTD 0-1
Weatherman900 {TJC} 0-1
Robert E Lee 0-2

this guy has the early advantage, having the H2H win vs Mr N, who in turn holds the record over ARP. The remaining four players are yet to win, albeit from only four completed games.

Oh hey, awesome update! Thanks!

please remove me for next season

good update Aun :)
