Xiri Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 ANNOUNCEMENT Greetings, challengers! I'm here to announce the official League hours for Season 2! To account for our challengers all around the world, League hours will operate a little bit differently to the previous season. League Hours will run every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from: 1) EARLY - 12pm ~ 3pm EST (5pm ~ 8pm GMT) 2) LATE - 6pm ~ 9pm EST (11pm ~ 2am GMT) A couple of important rules regarding this: 1. You may only challenge ONCE per day. Even though there are 2 sessions of League each day, you may only challenge only on one session per day. You may face consequences if you are caught challenging more than once per day. 2. Leaders won't be available at all League sessions. Details of their availability will be announced once they are officially revealed. Please post any questions in the Discussions thread. Good luck to all the participants!

Joker Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Would it be possible to schedule a battle with a leader that's available at a later session if it's the only time you could battle them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 We are trying to ensure that every leader has at least one early and one late session to accommodate all challengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraRPetO Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 ANNOUNCEMENT Starting Sunday, after you register a team, you may not register another team for 2 weeks. The reasons are: people re-registering their teams too often, putting too much work and confusion for both our Trainer Card makers and Leaders. The teams posted in the Sign-Up thread are supposed to be your finalized teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW~ Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Just a suggestion, not saying anything against the rule or anything but maybe you should make a restart thread to prevent the clutter and confusion? Unless it's too much of a pain for someone to check it like once a week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiri Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 ANNOUNCEMENT Just in case, people didn't read the recent Redemption Weekly post, there has been a bracket shift: Spoiler MIRA has been promoted to Bracket 2 HALEY has been demoted to Bracket 1 Make sure to keep these changes in mind while making your respective challenge!

DashingStorm Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Regarding the counter-teaming issues from before, we've discussed this issue and we're aware of the fact that it's annoying for some, often leading to a restart. We get it, it's difficult to adapt to situations, but it's even more difficult for us to fine-tune the actual border of what's considered countering and what isn't. So we've come up with this PSA. PSA: Leaders work around a core and are indeed allowed to switch things up every now and then. Considering that most of them run static teams already, this will usually lead to a 1-move or 1-mon change. If that greatly disadvantages the challenger, please keep in mind that leaders are already heavily limited to their type, as opposed to challengers having free choice of the types they choose to bring into battle. The only thing we can actually do to get rid of this "counter teaming" issue, is to force leaders to have 100% static teams, with set Pokemon and set movesets. This would make the aspect of a challenging League void, since people do watch battles, people strategize with eachother and/or talk about previously used strategies by leaders. This is something we're trying to avoid, and is really hard to fine-tune, but the best we can have the leaders do, is to try and limit changing Pokemon/teams as little as possible, while still trying to provide a reasonable challenge that isn't over-the-top difficult.
