Hi all,

Welcome to Season 21!

Please read the following instructions carefully.

Arranging matches

1. Enter your availability on the League pages

Find the League page for your division, and go to the current (or a future) weekly tab. There are lower tabs for each day of the week. Enter your availability by clicking the boxes corresponding to the times you are available to play a match.

2. Schedule matches with your opponents

If you and an opponent are available at the same time, suggest a match time by entering the date and time into the Schedule field under the appropriate weekly tab. Your opponent will receive an email asking them to confirm or cancel the match.

If your opponent confirms, you will receive an email, and the match will appear on the Memory League home page.

If your opponent cancels, you will receive an email, and the scheduled time will be removed.

3. Cancelling a scheduled match

If you need to cancel a scheduled match, find the match on the League pages, and click the red Cancel button. Your opponent will be sent an email to let them know of the cancellation. If the match was previously confirmed by both players, you will forfeit the match unless you cancel at least 4 hours in advance or provide a reason deemed acceptable by the league administrators.

Playing matches

Note: if you don’t have full access to Memory League, you must keep at least one game available to be able to play a league match. You will not be able to play a match if you have used all your free games for the day.

Choice of events

The competitor whose name appears first has the first choice of event, then the choice alternates.

Challenge your opponent by clicking on their name (for example, in the Scheduled Matches section on the home page), then click Challenge.

A competitor cannot choose the same event twice.
A competitor cannot choose International Names if they have already chosen Names.
A competitor cannot choose Names if they have already chosen International Names.

Ending the match

The match ends when one competitor reaches 4 points with a 2-point lead, or when 8 games have been played. Here are all the possible results:

  • 4 - 0
  • 4 - 1
  • 4 - 2
  • 4 - 4
  • 4.5 - 0.5
  • 4.5 - 1.5
  • 4.5 - 2.5
  • 4.5 - 3.5
  • 5 - 3

The winner (or either competitor, if it’s a tie) should then enter the match result on the appropriate League page.

No-shows

If your opponent arrives between 15 and 30 minutes late for a scheduled match, you can choose to either play the match or take a 4-0 forfeit win.

If your opponent is more than 30 minutes late for a scheduled match, you automatically win 4-0 (unless they have an excuse acceptable to the league administrators, in which case the match will be rescheduled).

Please send me a private message (or use the Contact Us page in Memory League) if your opponent does not show up for a scheduled match.

Videos for Divisions 1 and 2

If you are in division 1 or 2, please record a video of your matches, with your head, hands and screen visible. You only need to upload your video if you are asked to by the league organizers. If you cannot provide a recording when asked, you will forfeit the match and receive a warning.

Competitors in division 3, 4 and 5 do not need to record their matches unless asked to by the Memory League team.

Deadlines

Competitors who miss one target will receive a warning. Competitors who miss two targets (excluding the final target) will be removed from the season.

Date Target
End of week 1 (2024-05-25T23:59:00Z) Some availability entered
End of week 2 3 (2024-06-01T23:59:00Z 2024-06-08T23:59:00Z) 1 match played
End of week 4 5 (2024-06-15T23:59:00Z 2024-06-15T23:59:00Z) 50% of matches played (rounded down)
End of week 7 (2024-07-06T23:59:00Z) All matches played

Good luck everyone!

Hello,I don’t have a timeline
Komiljon Musayev division 4b

@KomiljonMusayev

If you go to a weekly tab, for example the week 1 tab (Memory League), you should see the Availability table at the bottom of the page. Then go to a date that’s not in the past, and you should be able to tick the boxes for your row.

Hello. I don’t see Ilya Gubenko for setting the game time and he doesn’t see me either.

@Sava Sorry about that - it should be fixed now. I had Ilya vs Ilya instead of Ilya vs Andrej.

Thank you for the instructions :grinning:

Just to clarify - you only need to play approximately 1 match per week during the season.

You will see all your matches listed under week 1, but that is just so you can enter a time for any match. You don’t need to play all those matches in week 1!

Also, please only schedule a match if your opponent has indicated that they are available at that time.

Hi all,

It’s the end of week 1 and we’ve made a great start with 42 matches played so far, and another 13 scheduled!

You should have all at least entered some availability by now - the first target was to enter some availability by the end of week 1. As I didn’t send a reminder, I’ll give you an extra day to do this before issuing the first warnings tomorrow. Let me know if you are unable to enter some availability for any reason.

Probably not going to play much until week 3…

The following competitors receive their first and final warning this season for missing the first target:

@abderrahman1672 @Abdulahad1 @AlHouseen @Azizbek5 @DavidCantor @Farzona @Igor.Kem @Ilya_Gubenko @islomxoja @issaalamgadmi @juanpabloduque @KomiljonMusayev @KseniaFinatova @Gaia @LukeB @Marsel @mohamed22 @dark_storm @NiklasMoonsun @nithinprabutr47 @Oleg_Cherednichenko @Pat777 @SayakaHokazono @Orikal0 @shodiyona @Brain75 @vishvaavishvaa1

The remaining targets are:

Date Target
End of week 2 3 (2024-06-01T23:59:00Z 2024-06-08T23:59:00Z) 1 match played
End of week 4 5 (2024-06-15T23:59:00Z 2024-06-22T23:59:00Z) 50% of matches played (rounded down)
End of week 7 (2024-07-06T23:59:00Z) All matches played

@Simon I played a match in the first week with @Sava

I am available for a few hours to play a match. If you are in Division 4b, feel free to send a message so we can schedule! :slight_smile:

Abdurasul, @MatteoCillo , @Bigdonnyv : Would you be available tomorrow from 1pm to 3pm CEST or Saturday from 9am to 11am CEST?

@SimonO Apart from the three above, I have also already asked the other two in my division, they were not available. Not sure I can get a match organized by the end of Saturday.

Sorry, I play Katie that day.

If @Simon is willing to extend your deadline a day, I could do Sunday at 9:30am CEST.

@Bigdonnyv Thank you for answering. Very earliest for me on Sunday would be 6pm CEST, but from then on I have time.

Unfortunatly not. I ll put my availabilities from the next week

@Abdurasul7 I assume you are Abdurasul Gafurov from our division 1b. How about your availability for today or the weekend (see the times above)?

@Abdurasul7 Saw your proposal for Saturday at 8am CEST. Works only from 10am CEST for me. I entered that, would be great if you confirmed.

Hi Simon, yeah right it’s me for the first time in division 1 : )

Yeah I saw, the time that you put a little bit unsuitable for me.
Anyway , I hopefully will try to find time
