ATTENTION: Teams and Players Looking For Open Amateur Series

obiwanJOHNObi·11/18/2016, 9:53:58 AM·1 votes·613 views

So I just recently moved back to the states from EU and while I was over there I started a gaming community. It was a bit rocky at first but after the first couple of months we started to have some success. We began hosting tournaments and have now reached a point where we have as many as 40+ teams participate in the tournaments. I began sketching the idea of starting our own amateur or minor league series.

So what I'm trying to do is see if there would be enough commitment to do the same in NA. What I'm looking for are any teams out there that would be interested, and if i get enough willing to participate then I'll begin publishing everything to be ready to start as soon as possible. Also, I want to note that our tournaments have been hosted through Battlefy and due to our success we are currently talking to them about getting support through their Partner Program.

If you have a team that would be interested or if you have 3+ players interested in creating a team, please comment below or email me at [email protected] with the number and IGN's with respective roles for the team as well as your team name.

To anyone else out there, if you have any suggestions on what you think would make this project be successful or things you would like to see please leave a comment below as well. Hope to hear from you guys, I wouldn't mind getting some help on keeping the thread alive so that it keeps going to attract some attention.

FINAL NOTE: Like I said I started the community while I was in EU. So if I do get a go ahead for this project in NA, I will more than likely look for some people to help me on the NA. With the time difference and what we have going on already, I don't want to put to much on my admins and developers over there so that they can focus on what we have currently. Thanks guys. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

The minimal amount of teams I would like to get would be 10. If more are interested I'll see about doing conferences or something similar. After the first split/season or whatever, see about doing tiers.

Do you have more information on prizing, formatting, and scheduling?

Prizes will be standard as provided by Riot. Depending on participation and turn out may be able to look at expanding that. Formatting looking at a 10 team conference with two divisions and every team will play each other 2 totaling 18 games over 9 weeks. 2 games a week played on either Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday. Depending on what works best for the teams. Top 3 teams from each division advance to playoffs where the # 1 and 2 seed have the first round bye. Round 1 and 2 probably best of 3 and the final will be best of 5. Thats what I'm looking at doing. If i could get many teams in then i would like to have multiple tier conferences where theyre organized based on the average rank of the teams. At that point may be able to have better prizes. And what I'm thinking I might do is have like a relegation tournament after every single split where the teams have a chance to go higher to the next tier conference

any tournaments i attended people were saying riot stopped funding them because of scammers and shit havent had a tournament yet with RP in the prize pool funded by riot

They provide them. The organization hosting them has to apply the tournaments through Riot to be eligible. Prizes vary on participation and the longevity of the organization hosting as well as other factors.

Yeah I don't know what to tell you as far as why. But the reason we go through Battlefy is because they have access or whatever to Riots API and they have the ability to generate the tournament codes. Without those, the games are pretty much useless as far as getting Riot funded prizes. But as far as I know, anything other than RP/IP like cash or other stuff, has to be provided directly by the hosting organization or sponsors if they're able to pull any in.

Still looking for more. If you're solo or have a duo you can contact me to register your team and you'll be signing up as is while you seek more players to fill your team. Also going to implement a free agency option as a pool of players that teams can pick from in the event they need them.
