Online Memory League Championship, season 5!

The all-powerful people behind Memory League and Art of Memory want to do another ‘Memory League May’ promotion in May, and tie it in with the new season of the league, so please post here if you want to take part, or have any questions (like ‘what is this league thing?’ - newcomers are very welcome too!)

There are also some suggestions about future seasons - what do you think of these?

1. Have fewer competitors in each division, maybe just 6, and shorter seasons. Then it isn’t such a big commitment to join, and it doesn’t take so long for new competitors to work their way up the divisions.

2. Award 1 point for a loss, 2 points for a draw, 3 points for a win - to encourage people to play their matches.

3. Have a hard cut-off date for matches to be played. If matches aren’t played by the cut-off date, neither player gets any points.

4. If someone drops out, all the other players in their division are awarded a 6-0 win against that person.

Personally, I don’t like the idea of players who don’t play all their matches having the results counted for the ones they did play - it seems very unfair and open to abuse. But I do like the idea of reducing division sizes in future seasons, to make sure things get finished in time.

Thanks, Ben.

The idea of number 4 was that everyone in the division would be given a 6-0 win if someone drops out, even if they had already played the person dropping out.

I’m in again for the new season!

@Zoomy I like your suggestions, especially number 1 since I’ll probably have very little time to play starting from September this year, so a shorter season would make things easier.

We currently have 45 people signed up for the season! People generally seem to be in favour of smaller divisions, with each ‘level’ split up into two groups - if we get 60 players, they would form groups of six, like this:

 ![image](https://forum.artofmemory.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/441189e7b490c8108f3443926cf321afd2204af8.png)

That would give everybody five matches, and since we’re all in favour of stricter deadlines, I suggest that all players have to confirm before the start that they can play all five matches in the month of May (with play-offs to follow in June). When the divisions have been allocated, we’ll contact everybody and find out what days and times they prefer to play, and see about arranging a schedule. If anybody wants to volunteer as a co-ordinator, please do!

That should reduce the number of drop-outs and mean we don’t have to add new rules about what happens if someone doesn’t play a game. If, despite the shorter season, someone still has to drop out, that’s fine. Withdrawals will have all their games removed, like before.

These are the players so far - please let me know if any details aren’t right, or if I’ve missed you off the list! 🙂
