Prez here with another post to help ease the integration of our new friends. For this article the subject is how to join a HouseParty5v5 team, as well how the leagues works. Please keep in mind that anything written in this article is subject to change, and that our subreddit is the best place to find continuous updates on how the league works.

Before we get into the two leagues let’s go over the signup process. In order to signup please go to this link: http://www.naapp.houseparty5v5.com/register.php . Once you go there you will have three options: signing up as a “Solo Player”, signing up as a “Solo Captain”, and signing up as a “Captain with a Premade 5”.

Captain with a Premade 5

If you are a captain of a team that already has EVERY ROSTER SPOT FILLED (does not have to include subs) you will go to this section and fill out the information it asks for. Please provide everything as accurately as you can, including your e-mail addresses. Although we do not send out many e-mails, having each player’s e-mail on file so that the HouseParty5v5 staff can contact them specifically outside of the League of Legends client is important.

Solo Player

If you intend to play in either of the leagues as a player but do not want to be a captain (for the minor league), this is where you will sign up. Please fill out all of the information as accurately as possible, and make sure to put your role preference in the preferred role section (recommended you put each role in preferential order, not just your main role). Once you have signed up, it is your job to try to find a Solo Captain who is looking for a player. You must market yourself, we are NOT responsible for helping you find a team. If you sign up and do not put any effort into finding a team, do not be surprised when you end up sitting out for the season. One way you can do this is by joining the inhouses (you can find out how to do that in another post on this blog). Once you find a captain willing to take you it is up to them to fill out their roster once their team is complete. Again, any player wanting to play at all who is not a captain should sign up under this option. Please provide us with a legitimate e-mail!

Solo Captain

If you are joining HouseParty5v5 by yourself and want to be a captain, or with 1-3 other people and want to be on the same team, sign up using this option. Fill out the form as best you can, and start filling your roster up. Many players will come to you seeking a spot, so be available and willing to listen. Being a captain is HUGE responsibility, and should not be taken lightly. You will be dealing with the HouseParty5v5 staff on a regular basis to ensure that everything will be running as smoothly as possible. Once you have all of your players together, wait further instruction from HouseParty5v5 staff.

Premier League

The Premier League is comprised of 10 teams that play two games every Saturday afternoon. Although spots are limited, there is a chance that you could join one of these teams. In order to do so, you need to come in contact with the captains. The majority if not all the captains are extremely active on the teamspeak, that will be the best place to find them. Simply ask them if they have an open spot on their roster and how you would go about trying out/joining their team. From that point on it is about open communication between you and the captain, if they decide to bring you on board great, if they already have a full roster or don’t see you fitting in well, you will have to try somewhere else. Premier League captains may look for players on our subreddit, so look there as well.

Minor League

The Minor League consists of more teams than the Premier League, and currently has no set amount. Although there are some Minor League teams that were part of HouseParty5v5 before this upcoming season, many of the teams will be filled with new players. Minor League games are played on every Sunday afternoon.

If you have any other questions there will be an AMA held tomorrow by CaptainKimchi and David Schneider himself.
