 | James Laverty Just one thing I forgot to mention. Sign ups will be limited to the first 10 applicants. If I fall just short, I will add bot(s), which will NOT be Prune, to make the numbers up. |
| James Laverty Great early sign-ups, just four places left.

| James Laverty OK Sign-ups complete already. I can now confirm the divisons.

Tourney round: Apterous EIHL: Sign Up Page
Notes from the organizer: Right, I am expecting this to flop, and I'm not sure if I fully understand my own format, but here goes.
As mentioned in the tourney discussion ticket, I'm going to attempt to recreate the British Ice Hockey Season (EIHL) consisting of the league, challenge cup and play-offs.
In the EIHL, ten teams are split into two divisons of 5 based on location. The teams play the other four teams in the division 4 times home and away, and the remaining five teams home and away twice each, giving a 52 game season. I would half these amounts for a 26 game season for time constraints. The format for these games would be either the Champions League (Winners only LNLLNLLNLNC or something similar) format, with sudden death conundrums being used to simulate overtime. Players will earn 2 points for a win, and 1 point for an overtime defeat. Teams level on points will be ranked by head to head record.
For the challenge cup, each team would play the other four teams in a different division which will be provided by pro ranks of the starting week home and away, again earning 2 points for a win and 1 for an overtime defeat. The top four from each divison will qualify and the format would take on a knockout format. Ties would be double legged with the away goal rule coming into affect if needed for the quarters and semi finals. The final would be a single legged, Winners only 15 rounder.
Finally, the play offs finals. Only the top 8 will qualify for this final tourney and will be seeded in the following way.
1. Winner of EIHL
2+3. Winners of 5 team divisions (if different to EIHL winner)
3/4. Winner of Challenge Cup (if not already ranked)
4/5-8. Remaing top 8 dependant on EIHL placings
It is possible that the divison winner could finish outside the top 8, but hopefully this will be avoided (as it has so far in the EIHL) as the EIHL has apparantly not made provisions for this happening as it is unlikely. In the unlikely case it happens I will assume 8th place to be eliminated.
Similar to the Challenge Cup, the quarter finals will be two-legged CL format games. However the semi finals will be a one game affair as a winners only 15 rounder, followed by the same for the final and a third-placed play-off.
