Hello everyone, welcome to the fourth (and possibly final) iteration of Hangouts Premier League! HGPL is largely enjoyed as an annual event in the A Place To Hangout discord server. It is a team tournament with varying unique formats played every week. Teams are formed through an auction where the chosen captains of each team buy the registered players that they desire. First, there will be a round robin in between two groups of five teams to qualify for playoffs (5 weeks group stage), where the top two teams from each group - 4 total teams battle to determine who will be tournament's champion. The four qualifying teams will participate in a task-based race-week before the playoffs go up, of which the winner team will get an advantage over their opposing team in semi-finals.
The main rules and structure of the tournament are as follows:

Hello everyone, welcome to the fourth (and possibly final) iteration of Hangouts Premier League! HGPL is largely enjoyed as an annual event in the A Place To Hangout discord server. It is a team tournament with varying unique formats played every week. Teams are formed through an auction where the chosen captains of each team buy the registered players that they desire. First, there will be a round robin in between two groups of five teams to qualify for playoffs (5 weeks group stage), where the top two teams from each group - 4 total teams battle to determine who will be tournament's champion. The four qualifying teams will participate in a task-based race-week before the playoffs go up, of which the winner team will get an advantage over their opposing team in semi-finals.
The main rules and structure of the tournament are as follows:
- Each Team shall have 8 starting players and at least 2 substitutes.
- At least 3 out of these 10 players NEED to be APTH Regulars, which will be drafted via a Snake Draft (These will be sorted out by the host).
- The other 8 players may be non-regulars which will be bought using the budget.
- The auction budget for each team is tentatively of 100k.
- Managers who are also regulars and want to play may be self bought at the cost of one regular slot. Non-regular managers can each self-buy for 12.5k.
- Each team can have a maximum of 14 players.
- There will be different tiers each week, which can range from a simple SV OU slot to a never-before-seen Bring 24 Pick 6 Crazyhouse ADV UU slot. The only thing guaranteed is that there will be atleast one doubles slot, one vanilla singles metagame slot and one random battles slot each week.
- The teams will get a couple of tasks each week which they can complete to gain an advantage for the pre-playoffs task week.
- Teams qualified for play-offs will undergo a task-based race-week. In this event, the teams will need to complete the given 50 tasks or atleast as many as they can out of those 50. The team which completes all of the tasks first/has the most tasks done before the weeks end will be able to switch 2 formats selected for semi-finals to their own liking.
- The top 8 players with the best record from the teams that didn't qualify for playoffs will get randomly migrated into one of the qualifying teams.
- Correspondingly, the playoffs will be played with 10 starters i.e. 10v10 playoffs.
- For the finals, both the teams will select 5 tiers each that they desire to play and those 10 tiers will be played.
- The general forum tournament rules will partially apply to this tournament, but the final decision is up to the host.
- Players are adviced to join the A Place To Hangout discord server for timely updates!
- Reminder that there is no CA prize to this tournament!
