Rules & Format

Season format

Six teams, drafted at the start of each season from the signed-up player pool.

• Five weeks of round robin: every team plays every other team once.
• Each week you are matched with someone of equal skill from the opposing team. Games are 1v1, best of three — one game a week.
• Teams sit several players each week so the matches are as even as possible. Captains try not to sit anyone two weeks running.
• Scoring: 4 points for a 2–0, 3 for a 2–1, and 1 for a 1–2 loss. The table is ordered by points, then map differential.

Map pool

Nine maps, matching the W3Champions 1v1 ladder pool:

• Autumn Leaves (AL)
• Echo Isles (EI v2)
• Springtime (ST)
• Hammerfall (HF)
• Last Refuge (LR)
• Northern Isles (NIS)
• Fading Autumn (FA)
• Tidehunters (TH)
• Turtle Rock v2 (TR)

Scheduling

• Players set their availability and agree a time through the dashboard.
• Unscheduled games default to the standard Gym Newbie League slot for that week.
• Both players confirm the result; admins only step in for disputes.

Playoffs

• The top teams from the regular season go through to the playoff bracket.
• Playoff series are best of three, from the same map pool as the regular season.
