Ok, no short notice this season so we can actually do this - up and downs finished today and Kespa seeds are done.
As usual, $100 per team. Teams are to be submitted via PM to me; i'll PM my team to Liveforever and Walchy prior to receiving any teams
Regarding escrow; i'd prefer if someone else trustworthy did it as the prizepool lost something like 50-70 dollars due to exchange rates last season as it was being held partially in AUD and partially in USD but i'll do it if no suitable candidate is available

We'll be doing 10 player teams again unless there are any objections with the following format
R32 - 5/4/1/0 pts (depending on finishing place)
R16 6/5/2/0 pts
R8 - 8 pts (winner)
R4 - 11 pts
Final - 15 pts
Any objection to scoring system or suggestions for improvement will be noted; it's a little more late-heavy than previous seasons due to a lot of teams being knocked out of contention after the r32 in previous seasons and people losing the sweat.

I'll give it 24 hours to discuss seedings to make sure no one is horrendously misplaced before we start accepting entries. I originally had 3 categories but felt the picks would be too similar if we went with 3 categories rather than 4. It was tough placing a lot of them - but I figure there should be decent team diversity in any case as it's worth noting if you're the only person with a particular player on your team you have a pretty decent advantage in a top-heavy payout structure (we'll pay either winner take all, or 2 places if we get 15+ runners, or 3 places at 20+ runners)
In the event that there are multiple players left unpicked there may be an additional draft of one additional player.
Do not send escrow funds yet or anything, just express interest in thread please. I have an ANZPT main to play tomorrow but will send a round of PMs to anyone who has entered a team in the past tomorrow night.
Also, no MC or Nestea for Code S... feels weird.
