MRBC League Sign Ups Close Today!
Posted by Doyle on 16 Feb 2014 (1391 reads)

This is your last chance to sign up for the MRBC League for EU and NA regions. Sign ups will close at the end of today.

We will extend the RU region sign up period by 1 more week. We require 2 more Russian teams for that region before we can run a season. Russian teams may enter the RU region as well as the EU region as long as they can play during the time slots stated in the rules.

There will be no sympathy for teams that sign up and then say they can't make the match times for their region, they are clearly stated in the rules and there will be no flexibility on this issue. Teams that struggle to 'sync' their drops and/or have scheduling issues will be given 2 weeks at the end of the season to arrange and finish any games that could not be played in the scheduled week. Any games still not played at the end of this period will have the result decided by a council of referees.

Any team that drops out during a season will have to join the league in the bottom division for their region if they want to sign up for another season in the future. There will be no exceptions. This will help to keep consistent and reliable teams that can schedule and play matches professionally in the top divisions, and to discourage teams from dropping out too hastily if they ever want to enter another season. This may seem strict but having played in, and experienced the problems of other MWO leagues we feel a 'zero tolerance' policy is necessary. We aim to run this league as professionally as possible, and we expect the teams to live up to that level of professionalism too.

In the future, if mrbcleague.com gets enough coverage and site traffic we will look to take on sponsorship and advertising with the aim of providing a prize for top division winners for each region, and potentially eventually all division winners. This is a long term goal but you can help by spreading the word to other teams, telling your friends to watch the games and by making the wider MWO community aware of the existence of mrbcleague.com!

Teams that are registered, you need to get your players that stream or record matches to sign up a user account on mrbcleague.com and then send a private message to Doyle with your twitchtv url so that you can be added to the site and given permission to upload videos. Remember there is a C-Bill reward for submitting match footage so do not forget to do this or your score will suffer compared to teams that do.

Thanks to all of you for your support and remember to check back on Monday to see the divisions and match schedule.
