Hand in hand with the conceptual changes outlined in [url=http://forums.intldoomleague.org/index.php?topic=751.0]HumanBones&#039; announcement[/url], we introduce several smaller changes that will hopefully improve your league experience.<br /><br />[size=5][b] Invite list no more[/b][/size]<br /><br />The registration period and the invite list created a high redundancy system with time wasted on multiple deadlines and extra administrative work. To simplify this process, both registration and invitation will be considered the same and no preliminary lists will be issued. You may register yourself with either an open forum post or a message to a board member. The latter includes reluctant agreements to bribery and begging.<br /><br />[size=5][b] Homefields revised[/b][/size]<br /><br />We&#039;re introducing a new homefield selection system, or rather a practical revision of the current one. Teams can select any map from the IDL wad now, excluding the Masterbowl map. If such a map was already picked by another team (the selection order remains), you also get a fallback option - another map that isn&#039;t on anyone&#039;s list. After the regular season ends, you may &quot;inherit&quot; your homefield pick from a team higher in the selection order if they didn&#039;t make the playoffs. You revert to your fallback map otherwise. Trading of picking order spots remains unchanged.<br />[i]This rule was brought to you by a close board majority vote (dew, Soul and Rust v. LB and Stall, uncontested by Bones).[/i]<br /><br />[size=5][b] Splash damage[/b][/size]<br /><br />After some rather chaotic conversations on the issue we decided to rectify the splash damage situation. The current 82% damage rate is going to be raised to 90%. We didn&#039;t revert to full damage, because it was a majority opinion that rocketjumps are awesome.<br /><br />The official rules page should be updated to reflect these provisions, we just need to catch Ladna and tie him to a computer for a while.
