If I click "2012 Arimaa World League" in the main page I am taken to the "The 2012 Arimaa World Computer Championship" instead.

We should announce the league on BoardGameGeek; that will probably snag us a couple of participants who read BGG forums but not arimaa.com forums.

I like it. It makes the AWL it's own deal. When do we start again?

Why thank you.
We start in August. First or second week, depending.

Here are my proposed changes to the rules concerning playoffs:
Quote:- 10.1 If after the last matches have been played there is a tie for first place, there shall be a playoff between the teams sharing it.
- 10.2 These tied teams will be ranked by the following playoff-specific ranking in order of priority:
- 10.2.1 most matches in which the team won more points than the opponent
- 10.2.2 least total number of forfeits
- 10.2.3 lowest total budget expense
- 10.3 The playoff structure is as follows:
- 10.3.1 Except where overruled below, the team with the better ranking chooses color. For the purpose of seeding and the right to pick color, ties in the playoff ranking are broken randomly.
- 10.3.2 If two teams are tied, they will play a single playoff match.
- 10.3.3 If three teams are tied, the two lowest-ranked teams will play each other, and the winner of that will choose the color for the second, deciding match against the highest-ranked team.
- 10.3.4 If all four teams are tied, the highest-ranked team plays the lowest-ranked one and the other two each other, both matches taking place in the same cycle. The winners play a last match for the title. If the finalists had opposite colors in their respective semi-finals, they will flip colors in the final. Otherwise, if one team scored more points in the semi-finals, it gets to pick color.
- 10.4 [...]
- [...]
- 10.4.3 Points will be scored as normal. In the event of a tie in any playoff match, the winner will be the team with the smaller sum of the ratings of the higher-rated of the originally rostered and the actual player of each game in that match. If that is also a tie, then the lower-ranked team wins. In the unlikely event they are further tied in the playoff ranking, the winner will be determined randomly, unless this was already the deciding match, in which case, both teams shall be declared joint winners of the League.

aaaa, thank you for your suggestions. I haven't had time to digest them yet, but I will be getting back to you shortly.
I have updated the League wiki page with present membership information, based mainly on the survey and other stated additions.
In the survey Thiagor and Ivers0n indicated that they would be willing to play for whoever needed them.
Based on responses from the survey, I propose opening Twitter accounts for both the league in general, and the individual teams.
I'm doing this bit by bit as I can... I hope we can have first round rosters together by 8th of August.

It looks like the Rockies has done some recruiting. 
Depending on who else signs up, we may have to ask if they'll join some other teams. Ring of Fire won't do too well budget-wise with 3 out of 4 players rated at 2200+.

Hey everybody.
2 questions
- What does everybody think about an August 20 start date?
- Are we going to have 1 week rounds or 2 week rounds?
I have updated the League Rules and incorporated aaaa's edits FYI. I'd be grateful for a green light from as many from the Legislators' Committee and the managers as possible.

August 20th sounds fine for a start date.
I’m pretty sure my team can handle weekly matches but I’ll conduct a team poll just to be sure. If we have weekly games and two seasons then everyone across the league will need to average about 4 games between now and the end of 2012. That's a heavy burden for some and a walk in the park for others.
The rules look good. My only personal preference would be a rule stating that you must play at least one game to become eligible for the tie-breaking playoff match(es).
