Highlander S4 Post-Season Poll Results


Below you will find the poll results for all of the non-text response poll fields for the Highlander Season 4 Post-Season Poll. Please note, these results images were gathered 6:30 Wednesday 20th of September, so any responses beyond that time will not be reflected here.

We also put out a followup poll to discern whether or not players would be interested in replacing one of either Proot or Warmtic with a 5CP map, in which players voted to remove Warmtic and add Gullywash.

Sixes S37 Post-Season Poll Results


The images below are the results of the Sixes S37 Post-Season poll in order of where they were in the poll. There is a summary at the bottom which discusses some discrepancies between divisions, we've included some charts to illustrate that further. The poll result images below were gathered on Sunday the 24th of September 2023, the division comparisons at the bottom were collected on the 19th (as the data was used for our meeting originally, and we wanted to put forth what we discussed in our meeting to you).





















Experimental Cup 2 poll + Followup poll coming soon

We are aiming to release a poll for our Experimental Cup 2 tournament soon which will also include some followup questions for subjects we polled in the Sixes S37 poll, as there were a few areas when reviewing the results where we want to seek some player clarification. For example, Premier and Open were confident approvals for the Progressive Ruleset, but Main was a three way split between Yes/No/Indefinite, and High and Intermediate had a majority voting No, so we'll be asking what players do and don't like about the ruleset. We've seen more result variation from Premier compared to every other division, so we'll be reaching out to Premier during Sixes Spring '23 signups and having chats regarding some potential changes.

We've included some graphs below to show the breakdown of voting per division for non-map or whitelist questions, and please note that if you haven't seen anything about a change happening or not happening, it doesn't mean that it won't - but it also doesn't mean that it will. Some changes, in particular the map pool size, require changes to other established systems/rules/etc, or we aren't confident in a narrow lead in results on a question so we may opt to poll it again in the future.

Please note that the charts below were made on the 19th, and there has been five more responses since then (58 > 63), however they are more to illustrate why regardless of which side of the line it favours slightly, that we want to check in with players and teams alike.

TRANSFER WINDOWS

Our transfer system operates by approving transfers on a fortnightly basis. Teams have the flexibility to initiate player transfers at any point during the season, however, these transfers are processed and approved after the conclusion of the current transfer window. As such, teams should make note of these transfer windows to avoid roster complications during the season. The listed transfer windows and their relevant dates can be found below.

In order for a transferred player to be eligible to play in a particular round, the transfer request must be submitted by the conclusion of the prior transfer window. If the transfer has not been processed, this player must be approved for usage as a mercenary.


Transfer Window #1

Sunday 15th October - Thursday 26th October
Transfers made during this window will be processed on Friday 27th October and Saturday 28th October.

Transfer Window #2

Sunday 29th October - Thursday 9th November
Transfers made during this window will be processed on Friday 11th November and Saturday 12th November.

Transfer Window #3
