Fall 2008 Closing Procedures
The following outlines the policies and procedures that apply to all
non Pro Circuit ladders on GameBattles. It is very important that you read and understand the
following if you are planning to participate in the upcoming season
and/or the current season's playoffs.
The Fall Season 2008 ends on December 31st, 2008 at 8:00PM EST.
Shortly thereafter, the Fall Season 2008 will be launched site wide and
you will immediately be able to play in the new season. All of your
team's historical stats, roster and information carries over. YOU DO
NOT HAVE TO CREATE A NEW TEAM. However, you will still need to enroll
your team in the new season.
Enroll Your Team in this Season
For those interested in the playoffs:
*
The Official Roster Lock Date is Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 at 11:59PM EST. * Roster changes including invites, gamertag and role changes will be prohibited, NO EXCEPTIONS, after this time.
* Any player that is updated after the Roster Lock Date is ineligible for playoffs.
* Your team must have played a minimum of 3 matches in the month of December to be eligible for Playoffs.
* Minimum roster sizes per Ladder for your arena are posted below.
* Teams created after the Roster Lock Date are not affected; however, they are also ineligible for playoffs.
* Playoff Bracket sizes are also posted below.
Within the next 10 days, we will be releasing Playoff Rules and
Settings along with Gametypes that will be used in Playoff Matches.
Each playoff round will have predetermined gametypes that each team
will have to play. Those specific gametypes will be released prior to
the end of the season.
The bracket sizes and minimum number of required players, in detail,
can be found here. If your team does not meet these requirements, your team will
not be eligible to be seeded into the Playoff Brackets.
If teams cannot agree on the number of players in a match, the minimum number of required players will be used.
Remember, there are only limited playoff spots available, so get your final roster together and start battling!
