PRELIMINARY SPRING '25 SEEDINGS

---

Just like "One Last Breath" by Creed, this season is meant to be enjoyed with an ice-cold beer after a hard day at the office. With the season just a few days away, here are the Preliminary Seedings for Highlander Spring '25. You can also find all the precursory class restrictions via the link below. If you have any concerns, please reach out to the Highlander Administrators via our support channel in Discord.

3 Divisions

This season we'll be utilising 3 divisions; these being Premier, Intermediate and Open. We feel that this split of 6-4-4 works best given the number of teams that signed up and the disparity in skill. The Premier division does have a noticeable separation in skill between the top 3 and bottom 3 teams. However, this is preferable to a division of 4 teams, where the bottom team would have to face the same top 3 teams week after week, with no closer competition available. From this the Intermediate and Open divisions have been constructed and balanced, with all teams being within the same skill set as those adjacent to them.

Season Progression

For Premier, there will be a 5-week regular season where each team will face all other teams once. As for Intermediate and Open, each team will play the other teams in their division twice for a 6 week long season. After the regular season, the top 4 teams from each division will move into Page Playoffs. For Premier, teams ranking 5th and 6th at the end of the regular season will not progress into Playoffs. While all the teams of the Intermediate and Open divisions will advance into playoffs regardless of final standing.

Bronze Final Forfeits.

Previously, any team which forfeited a finals match would be disbanded and deemed ineligible to receive in-game medals. Moving forward, teams will be permitted to forfeit Bronze Final matches without being disbanded. However, there are some stipulations around forfeiting this final.

• The team that forfeits the bronze final effectively loses that match, meaning they will finish the season in 4th place.
• If both teams mutually agree to forfeit the match, the higher ranking team (Home Team) will remain as the 3rd place team.

We feel this will still ensure the Bronze Final have meaning and a place come end of the season but doesn't force the weaker team to play the match if they are ready to finish up for the season.

Mercenary Limit removed

To continue to align with the sixes crowd we will be dropping our previous mercing limitations and allowing teams to merc a player an unlimited number of times per season (only when the player has been approved to merc, of course). We are doing this to aid teams on both sides of the skill bell curve to find players with more ease when needing a mercenary in a pinch.

Note: These rule changes may take time to be reflected in our site's docs.
