Welcome to the Diamond League!
Premium only please (you'll need up to 8 slots at a time) with 97%+ attendance rate.
This Athletics League will consist of mini-tournaments (loosely following the set-up of the IAAF Diamond League) of 8, 12 or 16 players. Each player will be entered in 8 of these tournaments/events (see below for more details).
Each mini-tournament will be a seeded 1v1 bracket and will be played out 7 times (each with different settings). For the first time it is played, seeds will be based on CC score at the time of the tournament beginning, not sign-up. After that, seeds will be based on previous results.
Points are awarded to the top 3 places in each mini-tournament, and prize money is awarded to the top 8. Once the mini-tournament has been played 7 times, the player with the most points will receive a prize bonus.
The player who has accumulated the most money across their 8 events will be crowned the winner of the tournament!
Each mini-tournament venue will have different settings. There are 14 venues in total, and each event will be played at 7 of these venues. All settings will be Standard and Sequential. Men's events will be Foggy, women's events will have No Fog.

Placing
To save having to label each game individually, here's how the placing works for 8-player brackets so you can follow your progress:
Win-Win-Win = 1st place
Win-Win-Lose = 2nd
Win-Lose-Win = 3rd
Win-Lose-Lose = 4th
Lose-Win-Win = 5th
Lose-Win-Lose = 6th
Lose-Lose-Win = 7th
Lose-Lose-Lose = 8th
16-player brackets work a similar way - if you win your first game you are into the last 8 and the format is as above. If you lose your first game you don't place.
In 12-player brackets, the top 4 seeds receive a bye into the last 8. The other 8 players play for the other 4 places.
Win-Win-Win = 1st place
Win-Win-Lose = 2nd
Win-Lose-Win = 3rd
Win-Lose-Lose = 4th
Lose-Win-Win = 5th
Lose-Win-Lose = 6th
Lose-Lose-Win = 7th
Lose-Lose-Lose = 8th
16-player brackets work a similar way - if you win your first game you are into the last 8 and the format is as above. If you lose your first game you don't place.
In 12-player brackets, the top 4 seeds receive a bye into the last 8. The other 8 players play for the other 4 places.
