How the League is Run

[This thread will be continually updated for Season 3][video=youtube;KY7P_ckY7Ik]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY7P_ckY7Ik[/video]The PvP League's function is to engage the ED PvP community with regular events, ongoing consistent and fair competitions, and the best PvP media possible. It was established as a non-faction specific, friendly and inclusive environment. Currently, two leagues are scheduled and a third is in planning. If you have an interest in PvP, the league is a good collection point, and a great place to start learning more about, or watching more of, Elite's PvP in general. Discord The current Season 3 of the Wings League is underway with the qualifier rounds currently starting Round 2. These competitions are typically structured to be 4v4 or 6v6. Any player group that is able to field a wing of 4-6 with consistency is invited to the Qualifying Rounds each year. All you have to do is join the league discord, register your wing, nominate a wing member to represent you on the council, and then prepare and follow the established rules once the next season starts! So get involved, it's a great experience. The specific rules and structure can be found on the wings tournament site. Toornament Season 3 looks to offer some good entertainment with 16 wings competing in the qualifiers, 20 overall. The 16 wings trying to qualify have been randomized into four groups whose round robin winner will progress to the finals to meet Season 2's top 4. That's 38 matches over the next few weeks so take a look, it's pretty fun to see how some of these CMDRs can fly.The Pairs League is a 2v2 League that runs on an Elo style performance rating for the teams. The League itself is constantly running and CMDRs can either schedule matches or have them impromptu using their normal combat ships, medium sized or smaller, with very few module restrictions. There are biannual tournaments that use these performance ratings to establish a bracketed tournament. This League launches on June 5th and the first Tournament begins September 9th. Have a good wingmate and want to try yourself out? Come sign up on discord and read about how the performance ratings work.More to come as the start date approaches!There is a fairly prevalent distrust of the PvP community at times on this forums, so you're likely wondering how we keep it fair. So who makes the rules & decisions?In order to keep things fair and fresh, all of these Leagues are run by a Council representative of all the participants. A 'non partisan' council is established each season of the Wings League:- The 2 wings finishing at the top of their brackets of the previous Wings season will get 3 seats on the council.- The 2nd and 3rd place wings finishing at the top of each bracket of the previous season get 2 seats on the council.- All currently active wings engaging in consistent organized wing combat will each be given 1 seat on the council.- The currently ranked top 3 1v1 League and Pairs League PvPer's retain 1 seat each.- Any additional PvP wings may contact us for a seat at any time. Get involved, it's fun!- All Council decisions will require a simple majority vote. All votes will have calendar deadlines to keep things moving.The council will determine the rules by which each season's League will abide in order to balance the constant changes FD implements in this dynamic game. The purpose of this is to create a fair model for a Council that is based off merit but retains the ability to evolve with the majority of active pvp'ers. No one group or collective will make rules for the League with this in mind. We'll do our best to keep it fair while rewarding merit.
