If you didn't know about our league yet, the joinDOTA League is composed of three regions: Europe (including the Middle East and Africa), America (North and South America), and Asia (including Australia).Every region has multiple divisions which roughly express the skill levels of the teams in them.with the next best ones fighting in Division 2.Any team that is participating for the first time will be placed in the starter division and will have to fight their way up through the rankings. Promotion and relegation occurs at the end of each season. This way teams will find their way up to an appropriately skilled division.The teams in each division are randomly assigned to a group of up to 10 squads. Groups compete in a round robin format (you play a different team each playday in a two-game matchup). One match (sometimes two) is played every week. Teams and team captains arrange the date and time of their match based on some ground rules, so matches can be scheduled around player availability.After the group stage,before the season concludes. After the season ends everyone gets assigned to a new (or the same) division for the next season, and the whole thing starts again. The best ranked teams will climb up one or two divisions. The bottom feeders will have to fight at their division in the following season. The amount of slots in jDL is unlimited.The following default dates apply for all groups except Division 1 and 2 which are going to be handled separately.. The following default times are to be used if no other agreement can be found.Whether you played in the last season or not,to confirm your participation in the new season! This is required in order to remove inactive teams and ensure a smooth start for the latest season of jDL. After signing up, you will automatically be assigned to a group in the correct division based on your previous results. If anyone still has unfinished playoff matches, please play them before signing up or contact the administration.We sometimes tweak our rules between seasons, so please make sure to read them to ensure you're up to date.
