Since this format is so different, you're probably asking yourself "How do I make it to the main event?!". Let's break it down:
The League is broken into seasons (two per year) with each season being independent from each other. This means you can play both seasons (priority is given to returning teams for the second season of the year) or just pick the Fall or Winter season. At the start of each season teams are randomly seeded regardless of previous season results (because who doesn't like a good shakeup?)
Within each season we have multiple divisions, each which operate independently and will crown its own Champions. Each division is divided up into 5 or 6 events, depending on the number of teams. Each event is static, meaning the MAIN EVENT is always on Ice 3, the 4th event is always on Ice 5, etc. This means you always know exactly who you're eyeing to take down next week in your quest for the Title!
Wins and losses completely determine your journey in the league: Winning your event moves you closer to the MAIN EVENT, losing moves you farther away. To get really technical for a minute (and these can subtly change based on the number of teams participating), 4th, 5th, and 6th event winners move up 2 events, 2nd and 3rd event winners move up 1 event, and MAIN EVENT winners are crowned champion and remain in the MAIN EVENT for the following week. MAIN EVENT, 2nd, and 3rd event losers move down 2 events, 4th and 5th event losers move down 1 event, and 6th event losers remain stuck where they are.
FINALLY, since the league is entirely based on how well you perform week to week, the schedule is also created week to week.
