What is the osu!catch League? (OCL)
- The OCL is a is a league focused on promoting a unique style of competition into the CTB Community.
How does it work?
- The OCL will have Team Owners and Players. Team Owners are responsible for managing their teams roster. Their ultimate goal is to win the Season Championship. Team Owners can manage their roster, draft and sign new players to their team, brand their team with its own colors and logo, and trade players and draft picks to other teams. TEAM OWNERS DO NOT HAVE TO PLAY. However, a Team Owner may play on their team if they wish, but if they do so, they will count as 1 of their 8 players.
How do I get into the League as a player?
- There are two ways. You can enter the Draft at the beginning of every season. The Draft allows players who are not signed to a team to enter a pool of players in which Team Owners will pick from at the beginning of the season. Each Team Owner will pick one player at a time in a randomly selected order to join their team. However, if drafted, a player may not play for any other team unless they are traded.
The other way is to be signed. At any point during the season, a Team Owner can sign a player who is not already owned by a team to their team. However, there will be a set limit as to how many players can be on a team. So in some cases a Team Owner may have to release a player from their team to make room for another player that they want to sign.
How big are teams?
- Teams may have up to 8 players on their roster, however, only 6 will compete in each match.
How are matches going to be run?
- Before a match, Team Owners will be required to submit their rosters for each match. Each team may only play 6 players per match. If a team has 8 players, then 2 of them will not play. This will prevent issues in case team members are unable to make it to a match due to personal reasons or technical difficulty.
- Matches will follow the same format as CWC with a few differences. First, all matches will be Best of 13. (First to 7). It will be 3v3. After 6 rounds, teams will take a mandatory 10 minute Halftime Break. Also, both teams will have the ability to can one 2 minute timeout per match. Must be called by the team captain.
What format will the teams compete in?
- The format used will be similar to what you see in many professional sports. Teams will play a set numbers of matches against each other on a weekly basis in order to qualify for the playoffs at the end of the season.
- The playoffs will be as single elimination series. The winning team is the champion!
Will there be prizes?
- As of now no. But if the League shows promise and begins to thrive, this will change to accommodate the high level of competition and provide an extra motive for players.
This is all just an idea in the making, however my goal is to make this a reality after CWC 2018. Let me know what you think! Feel free to ask any questions!
