The current map pool right now could be seen as a very "static" map pool where it's been the same combination of maps in a varying order for a while with the exception of a couple alternative maps.

A rotating map pool would approach this "static" map pool by making it more dynamic by grabbing a set of maps that change periodically throughout the season or multiple season(s) if allowed.

For example, the regular season consists of eight weeks, with a three/four-week playoffs. If we were to commit to a rotating map pool (after explaining it to people again too) It'd look something like

Pre-Season:

• Week -1: Announce initial map pool (Maps A,B,C,D)
  
• Week 0: People scrim the maps at hand/practice on the initial map pool.

Regular Season:

• Weeks 1-4:
  
• Map Pool: A, B, C, D
  
• Matches occur on these maps.

_____________

• Week 4:
  
• Announce upcoming rotation for Week 5

• Weeks 5-8:
  
• Map Pool: B, C, E, F (Maps A,D are rotated out)
  
• Matches occur on these new maps.

Playoffs:

• Weeks 9-12:
  
• Map Pool for Playoffs: B, C, E, F, G
  
• Introducing a new map (G) to keep the game interesting but still maintaining some sort of continuity.

Post-Season
Week 13

Gather feedback on map pools and rotation.
Start planning for next season

The example I'm providing only has one rotation due to the seasonal length. Playoffs gets expanded a little more but leans on the fact that maps were rotated during the latter part of the regular season to help with fairness & balance.

There are a good assortment of benefits with a rotating map pool carried by some drawbacks if something like such gain traction.

WE GOT MY BOY TUMMYRUBMLA WE JUST NEED A POCKET SOLDIER NOW TY

we picked up maxx,

still need a pocket soldier/medic tyty

I’ve known deadlyseed for a couple years now, and seeing him grow as a player has been extraordinary. To take some of Guyehhhh’s words, deadlyseed can take any type of criticism and won’t shut down despite what said criticism might be, if there is a goal he wants to meet he’ll do anything in his power to achieve that goal in a timely manner. He’s not afraid to also dish out concerns/problems with the team. He’s an all around team player if you get the chance to play with him.

Deadly is one of the few players that I believe can ascend in the best environment. If he’s surrounded by players who only want to win he’ll match that energy tenfold. He’s one of the few players that I personally believe shouldn’t be in mid-high advanced any longer. He can adapt conformably and efficiently. It’s hard not to ask people to check RGL pages when trying to get a glimpse of someone’s history/insight in their past teams but I beg of you to look past that and try him out in your own time.

When you try out deadly, I wouldn’t think about the present in terms of how he did in the scrim/tryout. I’d think of how his skills can incorporate a better change and view within the team dynamic you’re trying to assemble as a leader. To some he may seem goofy and not a serious player, but truly is a player that can reach heights if you give him a chance.

Id love for him to play invite with like-minded individuals who’ll want a specified goal during and after the seasons.

He’s a great pick-up, please consider trying out deadlyseed.

Thank you.

In addition to the above, we are also looking to recruit experienced and talented individuals in the following categories:

• Discord or Forum Moderator - As a moderator, you will be tasked to monitor the chat and deal with issues as they come up. A thorough understanding of the rules is necessary for this area. Candidates will be using our moderation tools (depending on either the forum or Discord) to effectively moderate our chat platforms.

Thank you all for showing out!

I'm aiming to have more done throughout the year!

For whatever reason it's not letting me update the original post but,

Date is finalized on Saturday, June the 24th @ 6:30 PM EST!

Hello and Good morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening & Good Night

Communication is one of the most vital skills you can have in our competitive environment along with many other sports within the field. Without communication, you’re losing the means of being able to form connections among colleagues, friends, and family. Within our competitive bubble, you wouldn't have the ability to make a decisive call that breaks a long stalemate, setting a collapse after an über-trade, sending your flank behind to a pinch and the list keeps going.

One thing that RGL could improve on with the player base as a whole is communication. In the past, RGL hasn't elaborated on the tools we use for scheduling, results from surveys, and how they’ll be used effectively for that upcoming season, why restrictions seem to change every other season, how we incorporate/utilize the feedback players give us from meetings and so much more that needs to be touched upon.

Being one of the head-admin of sixes, I want to bridge a path towards better communication between RGL and the general player base. When I was a player before, I'd get frustrated myself because of the lack of communication RGL had whenever things were still being figured out or developed behind the scenes. I do not want the same trend to continue as the year progresses. We may be volunteers, but being a volunteer shouldn't equate to bad leadership or poor communication skills in any matter.

A simple Q&A thread isn't going to address all the problems and concerns people currently have with RGL, nor will it feel genuine to you all who are playing with the league. Plus an article full of FAQs only cover little information.

That being said Arcadia, Camp3r, and Myself (if more people slide through ill add them/update the names here) would like to go in-depth about anything that has to deal with sixes, the tools we use, the decisions that’re brought up go is and how they’re dealt with, how the scheduler works and what precisely is it, what specifically do division admins do, what does a head admin do, how the players can get their voice out there and more.

For this relationship to work between staff and the player base, communication is needed to ensure a path where if a problem or concern does (and it will) present itself it can be talked about constructively, but on a level where it's personal rather than being treated like an individual who's just speaking into the void.

This will be hosted on the RGL’s twitch channel on the 24th of June, time is currently TBD. I'll update it as we talked about it throughout this week.

If you have any questions you want to be answered you can for sure drop them in this thread, since I'll be collecting the questions through TFTV, RGL Fourms, dms’s and more. Only things that won’t be answered are anything to deal with the report committee cases and anti-cheat cases as they are more sensitive to the matter.

Thank you for reading this and I appreciate you all.
