This year instead of the Interguild Olympics, we have decided to try something completely new for our summer event: The Interguild League

What is the Interguild League?
The Interguild League works like any sports league. All the entrants are divided into an even number of teams. Then every week, each team must play against one of the other teams. Both teams make one level. If your team has made the better level you get 3 points, if both levels are equal in quality both teams get 1 point, if your team has made the worse level you get no points.
Every team plays against every team twice, one Home game and one Away game. Once all the matches are played, all the points are tallied and a winner is decided!

That is neat! So for what games do we have to play the levels?
This is what separates the Interguild League from other similar competitions. What happens is that every team gets to choose one game as their "Home" game. Every time this team plays a Home game, both teams will have to make a level in this game. So choose your game wisely! If you pick a game which your players are far more experienced in than the other teams, you can score easy points. But you should also remember that you have to make a level for your game once every 2 weeks. So if you pick a game with little possible creativity, you will soon find yourself in a writer's block.
It should also be noted that the schedule will be decided from the very start of the League. So you will know in advance exactly when you will need to submit a level for each game. This allows you to work ahead. It also allows you to put more effort in one round than another, so you can forfeit one match to be assured you win another. And because you are a team instead of just a single player, instead of collaborating on each level you can also decide to assign one player to each game and have them make the level by themselves.

How will the winner for each match be decided?
Every game will have two judges assigned. Both judges need to decide which level of the two they thought was the better one. If both judges agree on one level, that level wins, if the two judges both pick a different level, the match is tied. To keep the pace high, we will require the judges to judge each match in one weekend. Because this is merely a comparison between two levels, this shouldn't be too difficult.

Awesome! How do I sign up?
By posting right here in this thread. You can sign up here as a player or as a judge. The sign-ups will last until July 20th. The teams will then be assigned, each team will be given their own board to discuss things and the actual League will start August 4th.

If you have any more questions, ask them here.

I reject your Interguild League and substitute it with my own!

I believe that we have:

Teo
Bang Jan
mymop
Jorster
Quirvy
yimmy
soccer
kooler
krotomo
atvelonis
snipereborn

And possibly Darvince as well, he never made it clear whether his posts were to enter himself in, or if he was just commenting.

Dunno if I missed this or not, but I can be more active now, so I'll join if I may.

Well, technically you missed the deadline, but unless there's some secret interguild league committee that has been keeping me in the dark, I don't believe that anyone has actually starting discussing how to organize the teams, so unless there is such a secret interguild league committee, and they have already started organizing teams, personally I'd say you made it in time.

I believe buboy could join as well, but he has been less active from some time, and he'd have to confirm it himself too.

buboy
jorster
Quirvy

soccerboy

Snipereborn

I am not entirely sure if Darvince and Krotomo want to join, their posts aren't entirely clear on this. So this gives us at least 11, possibly 13 entrants.
We can do either 4 teams of 3 or 2 teams of 6. I will keep this open for one more day to decide what we are going to do.

I feel like 2 teams might be cool, as it would have more of a competitiveness than a bunch of smaller teams.

The problem with two teams is that it will be only two matches, which is a bit against the idea of Interguild League.

Only for 2 weeks at the end of August.

Anyway, 3 teams of 3-5 would work out; For 11 players, 2 teams of 4 and a team of 3; For 12 players, 3 teams of 4; For 13 players, 2 teams of 4 and a team of 5. That would even it out somewhat.

Yes, but timezones making me crazy! It's not summer on me so my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged. I still have time to make caves though.
