Allround League: Registration for Season 7 is open

WHAT IS ALLROUND LEAGUE:
The Allround League is a recurring tournament held 1-2x per year. The competition involves many different games and is played within groups of 8 players each. The groups form divisions with promotion+relegation between seasons. Season 6 had 128 players in 16 groups.
Within each group it’s a round-robin-tournament - so everyone gets to play 7 matches against the other players of their group. Each match against another player consists of 9 different, randomly chosen games. The winner of the most games wins the 1 vs 1 match. The winner of the most matches wins the group.
All-in-all this means you will play 63 (largely different) games. Games are played in turn-based mode and started as it suits you and your opponent (but there are some deadlines).

RULES IN DETAIL:
Detailed information and all rules can be found in the about section in our sheets here:

(If you cannot reply to this post please reach out to one of the admins directly). The room in this event is not limited, so don’t worry about rushing to be first on the list. It is more important that everybody knows what they are committing to, to avoid dropouts during the season. So please take the time to check out our sheets thoroughly, so you know what you’re getting into.

PREVIOUS SEASON:
If you want to have a peek at how that all works out, you can take a look at our last season’s sheets:

(Look at any single-letter sheet to see examples for the matches.)

DISCORD
We also have a discord server. You can find a clickable link in the About & Rules section on the sheets.
It is not necessary to join the discord to enjoy participation in the event, but it can be a nice extra to get in contact with other players and admins.

Hoping to see you in the league, your hosts,
