GNL 18 · How it works
Rules & Format
The short version of how a GNL season runs, start to finish.
Season format
- Teams are drafted at the start of each season from the signed-up player pool.
- The regular season runs in weekly team fixtures; each fixture is a set of head-to-head best-of-three games.
- Scoring: 4 points for a 2–0, 3 for a 2–1, and 1 even for a 1–2 loss. The table is ordered by points, then map differential.
Scheduling
- Players set their availability and agree a time through the dashboard.
- Unscheduled games default to the league's standard slot for that week.
- Both players confirm the result; admins only step in for disputes.
Playoffs
- The top four teams advance to a single-elimination bracket.
- Higher seeds are placed on the home side of the bracket.
- The Grand Final is a best-of-five between the two surviving teams.
