allenLangejoddblazedunno if this was already discussed, but it would probably be a good idea if cevo copied esea's map schedule or at least had a few of them that would sync up for the first season. I think the main reason most people don't play in 2 or more leagues is because they cant find the time to practice different maps and have 4+ matches a week. (is cevo doing 2 matches a week?)

i was a bit disappointed that this post wasn't touched on. it is sort of a loaded question, but i was hoping to find the information of: will CEVO try to mirror ESEA's map list for this first real season?
reason being that, if there were hypothetically 1 match a week for CEVO this season, teams who are weary about moving away from what is known/comfortable (ESEA) would probably have a bit more of an interest (and time) to participate in both leagues.
We reached out to ESEA to attempt to coordinate our map lists, but they were uncooperative. As a result, we will be sticking with our current map list barring any unforeseen events.
On the issue of number of matches per week, the poll was inconclusive. The end numbers were extremely close, so we've made a judgement call. We believe that one match a week is not a good value for the $15 entry fee we are asking. As such, we have decided that this season will have two matches per week. I realize that this is not what everyone wanted, but with a poll split nearly 50/50 we had to make a call, and I think that this will encourage more serious competitive play in CEVO in the long run.
why don't you do what ugc does in the summer and have a default map list and a secondary one that teams can agree to?
You mean what UGC did once and won't ever do again? That was so fail. Summer season from word of mouth is going to be an official season going forward in UGC. No more dumb trials, maps or games
