How the league will be played:
[spoiler]This tournament will have two conferences (East and West) with 3 divisions each. The West Conference will have Feudal Empire Division, Rebel Territory Division and Barbarians Division. The East Conference will include The Great Kingdom Division, Realm of Might Division and Imperial Dynasty Division. The players will be randomly distributed by the 6 divisions.
The league will have a total of 24 players. The divisions will be composed by 4 players each.
3 games will be played in the first round. Each player will play against each other in it's own respective division. The winner of each division advances to the World Series. The second placed of each division will advance to the conference playoffs.
In the conference playoffs, there will be two 3-player games. One between the second places of the west conference division and one between the second places in the east conference divisions. The winners of both games advance to the World Series.
In the World Series, we will have the six division champions and the two winners of the conference playoffs. From then on, this will be a 1vs1 simple eliminating tournament.[/spoiler]

First Round rules:
[spoiler]Victory: one point.
Defeat: zero points.
If two players are tied with the same points after the 3 games, the winner of the game between them will get the higher place and the loser will be in the place just below him.
If more than two players are tied with the same points after the 3 games, a playoff match will be played between them to decide the final placing.
Example:
After 3 games:
Player1 - 2 pts
Player2 - 2 pts
Player3 - 2 pts
Player4 - 0 pts
A Playoff game is played between Player 1, 2 and 3. The winner will take 1st place, the last to lose will take 2nd place and the first to lose will take 3rd place.[/spoiler]
Reserve policy:
- In the first game in this tournament, if a player does not join a game within 48 hours of it's creation, he will be replaced by a reserve.
- If there are no more reserves available, the oponent wins the match.
- In any game other then the first one of this tournament, if a player does not join the game in 48 hours, the oponent will win the match.
- If none of the players join the match, not being the first game of the tournament, both players "lose" the game. Both get zero points.
The players will be randomly distributed by the divisions using http://www.random.org/.
I don't think this league structure is very complicated, but I hope my explanation was not very confusing. Any questions about the league please post here or send me a PM. And, most important of all: have fun!
Edit: congratulations to hmsps for winning the League!
