Suggestions around map picks in Playoffs. Any thoughts on using the two-point lead scoring rule, for RAGL playoffs in the future? I think the biggest issue is really the size of the map pool. We could say that maps could be reused after some point, but it gets complicated to keep track of which maps...

On the topic of joint second place in Minions: @tttppp do people in second spot get promoted Usually yes But it depends on number of open master spots But I would say 2nd in minions is pretty much a lock Yes that is what anjew said.

002_TechBuildingUsage.png This season saw a slight drop in the use of service depots. There were more light tank and APC rushes this time around. Radar and tech centre usage was also down from last season. 002_TechBuildingWinRate.png Not much has changed here, but the tech centre win rate has conti...

A few graphs too: 001_GamesPerSeason.png This season broke the record for the fewest games. There are still over 200 games to analyse, but it's worth bearing in mind that the error in this season's stats will be slightly higher than usual. 001_FactionWinRate.png Allies are back on top this season, p...

The group stage is complete, most players have finished the season, so we're looking for feedback on how the season went. Is there anything you think we can improve for a Season 15? Pre-season we saw a lot of discussion about division assignments. Is this something we should look to change? For clar...

Blackened: 14 wins from 18 games, 1 strike 2. Kav: 13 wins from 16 games, 0 strikes 3. creo: 13 wins from 14 games, 1 str...
