* Just a side note, Season 6 isn’t yet confirmed, we go season by season and get extensions based on BSFL forum metrics. These are really good so there’s no reason to doubt BSFL will not reach Season 6.
Season 5
- As it currently stands, we start the Season 5 with 60 teams. Divisions 1 and 2 have 16 players each, meaning that Division 3 will have to be divided into A and B again and will have 14 teams in each Division.
This will be expanded if we receive more members before the start of the season. - Newbie member russeras will be allowed to participate in the Cup and LMS while we evaluate him as BSFL member. He might be allowed to participate from Season 5 as well, based on Division 3 setup (if there is an odd number of regular players, he will fill the spot). Otherwise he will join Division 4 in Season 6.
- A new influx of players means that we have to expand the top Divisions and we will do it in Season 6. Therefore we have more promotion spots open this season.
- Bottom 3 teams will be relegated from Division 1 to Division 2. Top 5 teams will be promoted directly from Division 2 to Division 1.
13th team from Division 1 will play a 1v1 decider against the 6th placed team from Division 2 for the spot in Division 1. - Bottom 3 teams from Division 2 will be directly relegated to Division 3.
Top 2 teams from Division 3A and Division 3B will get direct promotions and 3rd overall from Division 3A and 3B will play a 1v1 decider. The winner will get automatic promotion to Division 2 and the loser will play a 1v1 decider against 13th team from Division 2 for the last spot in that Division. - We will have relegation for the first time from Division 3. As it currently stands, bottom 3 teams will be relegated to Division 4 that will start in Season 6. If more people join before the deadline, it can be bottom 4, bottom 5 teams etc.
Logo rewards
- SB really likes the logo additions. In agreement with notblox1, our official logo maker, top 3 teams from Division 1 and Division 2 that don’t already have logos will get them free of charge each following season until all clubs in top 2 Divisions have them.
- We will then probably continue doing the same for Division 3. There are no plans to have logos in Division 4 but you can make them individually.
- All clubs that receive logos will be required to make a short 'team summary' post - you can see how they look by clicking on any member's name that already has a logo in the league table.
LMS side-competition
- LMS format will become a regular side event from the next seasons of BSFL. It will work similar to the EUROS and will consist of 15 standard BSFL league rounds.
Points earned in these rounds will be accumulated and the one that survived 15 rounds and has the highest total will be pronounced as the winner.
Points will be taken from the ‘freebet’ column calculation, not from Head to Head results, with 1 minor correction – to win a H2H point for LMS, it will not be enough to have the best result it in your league but across all the leagues combined. - All those that have 2 points per round or less will be eliminated, if everybody has 3 or more points, those with the next worst result will be eliminated (those with 3 points, or 4 if nobody has 3 etc).
- There will be buy-backs, the fee will be increased every 5 rounds. The buy-backs are not fixed yet but will probably be 0,25 mBTC after rounds 1-5, 0,5 mBTC after rounds 6-10 and 1 mBTC after rounds 10-14.
- You will have to survive the last round to be able to claim the reward. Everybody that survived 15 rounds (excluding the winner(s)) will share the additional 500$ freebets pool equally.
Season 6
- In Season 6 we will start with 18 players in all 3 top Divisions. There will be a single Division 3 and a buy-in fee will have to be paid to play.
Buy-in for Division 3 will be low, we will define it at the beginning of the season, but the buy-ins will probably follow a 3x formula – meaning that Div3 would cost x, Div2 3x and Div1 9x.
That means that if a Div3 spot is 0,25 mBTC, a Div2 spot is 0,75 and a Div1 spot 2.25 mBTC. We will of course evaluate this more, but we want to keep the fee in Division 3 really low and also increase it in Division 1 – to make it a bit riskier to play.
All fees would go into the rewards pool of course. Relegation from Division 1 should hurt a little bit more. - Division 4 will be fully amateur, free to play and without any BTC rewards, with a possibility of some freebet awards only for final placement for top teams. There will be no penalties and Division 4 members will have free participation in the Cup and LMS side-competitions.
It will be possible to achieve promotion, the promotion/relegation system will follow the same pattern as the top leagues – meaning that the bottom 3 get relegated automatically and the 4th bottom team plays a 1v1 decider.
If division 4 has 5 players, that still means that 4 of them can get promoted. - Depending on the number of teams in Division 4, they will either play each other 3 times per season or Division 4 will last a bit shorter - we will decide that at the beginning of each season.
Selling your spots?
- Pending a poll that we will run in the 1st round of questions, we will allow the selling of BSFL positions. You will be the ones to decide, and if over 50% of the members want to see that feature we will make it happen.
- That would mean that we would be going the Superleague way in BSFL and from Season 6 onwards it would be possible to sell your spots in the leagues.
Example – if casperBGD wants out, he can sell his spot to the highest bidder. There would be a public auction for the spot and the highest bidder would claim that spot. Also, a player could say he’s willing to buy a Div1 club for x mBTC, and wait for offers. - A club that is bought forever pays a 20% extra participation fee or a 50% higher fee for the next season (buyers choice), while a club that sold its position goes into the lowest possible league at that point, currently Division 4.
- This means that it can lead to major positions reshuffle. Example: a Div2 player buys a Div1 club. That Div2 team is now a Div1 team, but the Div1 team that sold the club does not go into Div2 but into Div4.
This means that 1 more team gets promoted from Division 3 to Division 2 and 1 more team gets promoted from Division 4 to Division 3 after season ends.
The team that ended the season on a highest place that did not earn promotion will be the one that is promoted. - Therefore, clubs can be sold only in a short period between the end of the season and the rewards payment, that is usually around 2 weeks because the Cup final is always the formal end of the season.
We're listening to your feedback and hope you like the changes we are making!
