1. Here is the link to the website again.
2. Unfortuneately the VSL Puppet already chooses TuT, feel free to add it to the Autoskip command, play it, or skip it (remember that you _have_ to play the next game then). *wonders why they couldnt wait until after the season*



Information on the 1.Emerald.City Diversity League:

What is a diversity league (or VSL as they call it in german)?
Well, the diversity league is about all the games you can play with 2 players. You play a match (bo9)against each of the other players in your group. The games are monitored by a puppet, which also chooses the games for you. This is an in-town league so you wont have trouble meeting the other players.

• min. 4 players
• max. players in each group are 10
• if there are more than 10 munchkins interested, there will be 2 equal groups, which will turn into league 1 and 2 next season.
  
• we play according the vsl rules, which i will specify on my website later
• short summary:
  • each match is bo9
  • each game is usually bo1 there are a few exceptions, but i will publish that later
  • the puppet chooses the games
  • win = 2 pts, tie = 1 pt
  • ties are possible
  • skipping only possible if both player agree on it, and never twice in a row
  • we play EC games only
• we use the VSL-Trainer puppet, the commands on how to use it will follow
  
• time frame: that depends on the number of players
• Example with 10 players/ group: => 9 matches, 1 week/match => 10 weeks/season
• there will be 2 deadlines: 1. after 5 weeks, 4 matches have to be FINISHED by then, 2. after 10 weeks, ALL matches have to be FINISHED by then.
• matches do not have to be played in any kind of order and do not have to be finished in 1 session. the puppet saves the games, which allows each of us a great deal of flexibility. you can also play several matches at once.

I will set up my website during this week.

I'll play. I don't know half of the games, so I'll just be fighting for not-last.

[Elttil]

Woohoo! I'm in! 

I added two 2p games to my repertoire today so I've at least played most of them. I'm glad to hear a whole match doesn't have to be played in one sitting, but I'm still wondering if best-of-9 is doable in one week. For some games it'll be no problem, but a best-of-9 Funkenschlag could take a while to play out over several sessions. I hope I'm understanding the format correctly.

Is a bo9 match, one game played bo9, or is it 9 different games played 1 game at a time until someone has won 5?

[Lord_Piet]

I'm in!
But I also wonders what the bo9 means

[Lardarse]

Is a bo9 match, one game played bo9, or is it 9 different games played 1 game at a time until someone has won 5?

It's 9 different games. You play what the puppet tells you to, feed it the result, and then it gived you the next game. It stops when someone has reached 10 points, which means 5 wins.

If you get really unlucky, and you manage to get all of the slow games (Caylus, TA, Funkenschlag, CCHuB, Tongiaki) then the match might take 6 hours or more, but the usual time is around 4 hours.

If however, you manage to get your arse kicked 10-0, it doesn't last anywhere near as long...

Lord_Piet hopes he get Tongi in every match 

[Don_Quijote]

you can count me in, but it will really depend on the time frame (I will be away for 2 1/2 weeks from end of April to mid may). I might not have the time.

[Jocelyn25]

Dont worry, Don, the time frame is really generous and easily doable, and if you really should run into time problems, there is still the possibility of moving the deadline and/or giving you a extra week, or something similar.
After all this is supposed to be fun
And I will make it possibly for everyone, who is interested to take part in this

Jocy, who is really happy that so many are already interested in playing.

[porcupine]
