IFL 2021 Registration is now open!

Player Registration:

• Returning Players: Please visit the site (http://ifl.duelingzone.org) and confirm that you are still able to log in. (the login link is on the top right of the home page.) DO NOT CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT IF YOU CANNOT LOG IN. If you have any issues, drop Kalamere a PM/IM/EMail and I will work with you to get your account back to a functional state. Feel free to update any items for your personal bio.
• New Players: Whether you will be on a team or just want to have your character's name entered into the FreeAgent pool or be a volunteer caller, you will need an account on the IFL site. The registration page is here. Please fill out the character bio information as it will show up on the player cards. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. The answer to the security question is: kiowa.
  • Also, for what it's worth, it makes my life easier if the account you make on the IFL site matches your character name.

Team Registrations

• Team registration should take place in this thread, by posting the required information (see below).
• Teams must have a minimum of 5 members, ideally they will have 6. You may register 7 if you like, but I think 6 is really the best team size unless you are a team full of alts.
• Players may only enter 2 characters in the league (even if one is a non-dueling manager)
• No player may captain more than 1 team. You may assistant captain a 2nd team, but this is not recommended.
• Please remember that when your two teams face each other, you MUST sit out one of them. To this end it might be a good idea to let your captain know your alt.

Required Information for team registration:

• Team Name:
• Team Captain: (If you are a non-dueling Manager please mention that here as well, though I'd rather see everyone fight)
• Team Assistant Captain: (this IS required)
• Team logo if (a) you have one (recommended) and (b) it hasn't changed from last year. Logos should be 150px x 150px. I can resize if this is a problem for you, but please at least attempt to make it square.
• Names of the fighers on the team:

Tentative Schedule

• Registrations: Now through October 24th
• Administrative break: Oct. 25th - Oct 31st
• Week 1 Fighting: Nov 1st - Nov. 10th
• ... more to follow

Below are the fighters to have fought in the last IFL season according to the rank earned from that season. Fighteres joining for 2021 who are not on this list will begin as either Flyweight (those who have earned 2+ IFL wins in previous seasons, or achieved a Ruby or higher rank in DoF by Oct. 24th) or as Trainees.

Ranking rules can be found here. Please post any questions you might have, or if you believe I've made a mistake.

Registration is now closed. We have 6 teams, good luck to you all!

Please check the team pages to confirm that rosters and ranks are what they should be. If you find a mistake or have a question, please reach out to me here or on discord. You can also find the schedule of matches here http://ifl.duelingzone.org/schedule.php.

Week 4 bumps up against US Thanksgiving, so we'll extend that a bit.

The IFL Google Calendar can be found here and is displayed on the site, albeit with a bit of a delay due to caching. Anyone who was in the league last year should have access and has permissions to invite others. Use of the calendar is not mandatory, but it's a nice to have.
