Hi everyone, this is just an idea I’ve been floating around the other admins and some of my friends and I wanted to “propose it” to get feedback on it and see how everyone felt about it. This could replace mini entirely, just be ran completely separately, or just not at all. Just getting a feel on things. This isn’t an official change to mini, nor is it something that’s really being talked about in the admin team, it’s just an idea that I have as a player in RD2L that I would like to hear the community’s thoughts on.
I’d also like to hear everyone’s feedback on this proposal as well as everyone’s view towards the current mini format. If you could, fill out this survey please

Major Changes
- Premade teams
Registration of 5 man, 4 man, 3 man, and solo teams will be accepted
Teams registering with less than 5 players will round out their teams with players who also registered without full teams - Draft
A draft will be held for incomplete teams. Teams of 3 and 4 players will be eligible for the draft
Pick order will be determined using the average mmr of the teams eligible for the draft
If there are no remaining incomplete teams and remaining undrafted players, teams will be formed using remaining players - Hard MMR cap per division
4 divisions with hard caps will be made
The division breakdown will be a maximum mmr average per team of: 6.5k, 5.5k, 4.5k, and 3.5k
The lowest mmr allowed in 6.5k average division: 5k
The lowest mmr allowed in 5.5k average division: 4k
The lowest mmr allowed in 4.5k average division: 3k
The lowest mmr allowed in 3.5k average division: 2k
The 5.5k, 4.5k, and 3.5k average leagues will have a player mmr cap of the average mmr of the higher division (ex. a 6.5k player cap on the 5.5k division) - Format
Best of 3 GSL style groups
Games will be played every Wednesday at 8pm est
The 1 seeds will be placed into the upper bracket of playoffs
2 Seeds will go to the lower bracket of playoffs
3rd and 4th seeds will be eliminated
The format section is a VERY rough sketch of how it would run out. Obviously it would change drastically with varying amount of teams signed up and such.
