Hi guys,

As the Nations Cup is still having its last games, the 7th ENSL Season signups have now been opened. Even though the Sixth Season was officially closed only few days ago, most NS clans haven't had a chance to play official games for some time and now its time to change that. This is also a good chance to participate as a National Team for those who missed the Nations Cup or feel they didn't get to play enough matches.

The system will be the traditional ENSL league system. Every team plays one game per week against every other team in one's division. After the league stage, the two teams with most points in each division play a division Final. This means a division with size of 6 teams lasts 6 weeks. Division sizes will be adjusted depending on the number of clans signed up. The signups will close at 18 CEST on 23rd Wednesday which means the first week will be a bit shorter, but since ~95% of the games of last season were played after wednesday, it doesn't really matter.

Normally every won round gives one point, but we also plan to give 1 extra point for each played match. For example 3-1 game would give 4 points to the winner and 2 points to the loser. Forfeits give the maximum of 5 points. This idea was suggested by Scale to encourage playing the matches, and to get your toughts of this, there's a new poll.

I'm aware that Summer draws near and this ENSL season might lack some top clans, but it definitely beats NS competitive scene getting even more inactive. Besides, ENSL exists to organize games fun for both players and those who watch them. Even a bunch of them makes ENSL worth it.

The map list will be as below, but is still open to changes:

1st Week: ns_metal & ns_tanith
2nd Week: ns_tanith & ns_veil
3rd Week: ns_veil & ns_origin
4th Week: ns_origin & ns_lucid
5th Week: ns_eclipse & ns_lost
Finals: chosen by the teams from the list above

I would like to thank all referees who refereed the matches during the last season, and naturally we are also seeking referees for this season. In this Season there will be a small special price for the most active (also by reports) referee.

All participating clans should remember tick the 'Next season candidate' -box from the clan menu.

Also below are the full instructions to all newcomers who would like to play in the next Season:

1. Each team member should register an account for these sites.
   
2. The leader should create the team and tick the checkbox called "Next season candidate".
   
3. Each team member should then join the team in question.
   
4. After this, the leader can accept the members in.
