Upcoming League Format

If you haven't read it, check here first!

As promised in the above link, I'm booting up a thread for people to chat about the new league format. Despite the fact that Tyson, Jim and myself are awesome, we sometimes miss very obvious pitfalls and/or easy solutions. I figure giving people the opportunity to give feedback is just a plain good idea.

Unfortunately, seeing as it is 12:30am, Jim is at work. He has the specifics for the league, so for the time being I'm simply going to post this thread for anyone to rant on the basics detailed below. Specifics will be forthcoming in the next few days:

- An open format competitive league. Your first two games a week count, scoring will be win/lose/draw with a bonus for painted armies. Game style, point cost and everything else is left up to the participants.

- Monthly painting challenge. More info will come on this one, but it'll basically be a bonus to your point score for a competitive player. Everyone who participates will end up getting points in one form or another.

- Monthly or Bi-Monthly events. Either tournaments or apocalypse games or what have you. We're going to try and get a regular event schedule going.

- A story based campaign. This one we are still going over specifics wise, but it'll basically be a 'for fun and fluff' style campaign, using the occasional home brew unit and adding in specialty conditions and the like. Games played in the fluff campaign can pass on to the competitive league if both players agree, so as to not split our player base between 'fun' and competitive.

Discuss!

Who do you think you are, Clark Gable?

Not to my knowledge. ^_^

I like the idea, just two quick questions though::

When will it start?
When are the current league's finals?

Both of those are up to Robyn. Suffice to say given what he's posted and what I've heard from him, soon.
