Season 15 Progress and More

Season 15 Updates

Hello beloved community! Below we have some crucial updates regarding Season 15 and other various topics, so please keep on reading.

Games!

One week into Season 15, and we’ve already had some great games! In Division 2, California Burrito and Tim Tam are neck and neck for the top spot, going 2-2 against one another. Likewise, 5 piece combo and Code of Misconduct lead Division 1, but haven’t played each other just yet. Replays of this week’s games can be found on the twitch channels of Jackson, Crowbar and Cr4zy, so go check them out! A friendly reminder to all teams: you may postpone your game by 1 week if the other team agrees to the delay as well (except the last week in the Group Stages).

Rules

It has come to our attention that some of the rules regarding exploits were written too ambiguously, so we have decided to refine them a bit. Specifically, we will change point (iii) of the exploiting section from:

• “(iii) Cannot place structures inside of inaccessible locations intentionally that cannot be shot.”

to

• “Cannot intentionally place structures in locations where it is reasonably clear that the structure is out of bounds of normal play on a map.”

This rule is primarily intended to curb commanders placing buildings within geometry to prevent them from being hit, and will be enforced in all upcoming matches.

Lastly, please note that the rules have been adjusted so that you may postpone your matches by 1 week from the original match week if both teams agree, except for the final match before the playoffs. However, a team may still force a forfeit if they have attempted to schedule within the original match week and are ready, but their opponent is not.

Grand Open Tournament

Don’t forget about the Grand Open Tournament which will take place December 7-8, and feature a prize of $600 for first place winners and t-shirts for the runner-ups! We strongly encourage members of the community to make teams and compete, for this tournament will show which team is truly the strongest in 2019. Signups are not yet open, but will be in a few weeks!

One update to this as well: if needed, playoffs will continue the following weekend, December 14-15.

Badges

Remember, you can create a team badge and have it displayed on the server next to your name! This is done via the Badges+ mod, so your badge should be available on most public servers as well. Simply make a 32x32 DDS image file and send it to Pelargir, who will make sure that they're added to mod!

Casters and Referees wanted

We are still looking for more casters and referees. With the increase in official match activity, we would definitely appreciate the support! If you’re interested to apply, please message Pelargir or infamous on the NSL Discord.
