Carcosa Marvel Summer League: “Wet Hot Illuminati Summer”

About

This is the first ever Carcosa Marvel Summer League, a casual league meant to spice up the typical summer gaming slowdown with a mix of bi-weekly paired games and hobby/gameplay achievement collection adding up to an overall league winner.

Format

There are two parts to the league:

  1. Participants will be randomly paired for set matchups against another league participant. Players will have 2 weeks to complete their game and report the results. Achievements can also be scored during these games. You may change your roster for scheduled games on the 1st of each month. You may play unscheduled games using any roster you wish. 

  2. Participants may also score points by completing any of the listed achievements (once per achievement) over the course of the league. These can be scored in ANY game even against opponents other than their scheduled matchup.

Matched games will be reported using the league setup in Longshanks, you must join the league here to participate: https://mcp.longshanks.org/event/14755/. Achievements can be submitted via Google Form and via the Discord channel.

Scheduled Games

League participants will play 6 scheduled games throughout the league. Scheduled games will begin on Saturday 6/1 and follow the below schedule. You may submit a game anytime within the window listed, with an overlapping Sunday factored in for everyone’s convenience. 

Game Schedule:

Game 1: 6/1 - 6/16

Scoring

For scheduled games participants will earn 5 points for a win, 2 points for a loss, and 3 points for a tie (for a maximum of 30 points). For unscheduled games no specific points are scored aside from any achievements accomplished by the players. Each achievement is worth 2 points (for a maximum of 70 points). If players do not complete their games, both players will be scored at a loss. The league organizer may choose to award a forfeit win at his own discretion  to a player if a good faith effort was made to schedule the match.

Unscheduled games

Players may play any number of unscheduled games with any opponent. These games do not award any tournament points but any number of achievements may be scored during a game. Each achievement can only be scored once per league and are each worth 2 points each. At the end of the game achievements can be submitted via the league Google form: https://forms.gle/1eqvxvBkkrQUDeMt5  Please include the date and your opponent, and be sure to tell us all about your achievement in the Discord (pictures of triumph and shame a plus!)..
