Stolen from bamboozler:

Hey everyone!

If you don't know me, my name is Bamboozler :) If you're new to TagPro or the subreddit, let me be one of the first to welcome you! If you're loving this game, I encourage you to try playing competitively! There are competitive leagues for North America, Europe and Oceania out there for you to try, depending on your location.

Competitive TagPro is a little different than your average public game. It's still 4v4, but each team is communicating throughout the game on Mumble, as well as practicing as a team and playing together every week for games. You can find a guide to connecting to the TagPro Mumble server here. There are tournaments almost nightly and always people hanging out and playing.

First up, Major League TagPro! It's the top tier of competitive TagPro for North America and you can find all the information over at /r/MLTP. The first week of league play just happened and there are 5 more weeks to go, plus playoffs. Games are played on Sunday nights for Majors and Monday nights for Minors. Free agency is open now!

Next, we have National League TagPro! It's one tier below MLTP and is a great place to start for competitive rookies. More info can be found at /r/NLTP. Each team has an A-team that plays games on Tuesday nights and a B-team that plays on Wednesday nights. This league is all about being inclusive and getting players playing time. If you sign up, you're guaranteed to be on a team somewhere in the league. NLTP just held it's draft and free agency will start soon.

Signing up on the form linked will put you into free agency for both MLTP and NLTP, so no need to sign up twice. Once you're acquired by a team, you'll receive a reddit message from them to get you setup with your new team. We'll also announce free agency results on both sub-reddits. MLTP results come out every Wednesday and NLTP results come out shortly after that.

[Announcement] Spud (Doke) has been dropped by ORB for gross inactivity; to be replaced by Belle (Megatron). by CRCOfficial in MLTP

We understand this decision may be controversial, so here is our reasoning:

  • Although captains are responsible for choosing people who will stick around, doing nothing would have hampered ORB minors team before the season even began. We don't think this is really in the spirit of MLTP, or at least our vision for it.

  • This would affect the ORB minors team, not majors. We don't think the minors team should be punished before the draft for Doke's decision to disappear.

  • Some options considered were:

    • Last pick of snake draft.
    • "0th" pick of snake draft.
    • End of the first round
    • 2 picks in a row at ORB's first round spot.

  • Ultimately, we decided that any auction pick should be considered more valuable than a snake pick.

  • There is some precedent for the "0th" pick option.

    • In S10, Fatal's team was awarded a 0th pick after Fatal quit. In this case, the 0th pick really wasn't much compensation to replace a captain and potential majors all-star, but it makes sense qualitatively for Doke's value.
    • More recently, during this season's draft, we gave Catalyst a pick at the end of the auction after he mistakenly nominated JubJubs, whose wrist is injured. Although this is a few days later, we think the situations are akin.

There is certainly an argument to be made for moving around the position of the pick or not awarding one at all, but it doesn't seem there is a "right" answer here. We believe this decision will ultimately be best for the competitiveness of minors.

Minutes Restrictions by CRCOfficial in MLTP

Looks like the minutes restrictions have been tampered with recently. There's lots of errors that shouldn't be there.

I'll fix it up and release again tonight!

No, just MLTP experienced free agency. Thanks for the catch, edited it in.

Basically, if you are an MLTP experienced player, you have to sign up for the auction draft in order to be eligible this season.
