This eventually led to the [[Challenge Cup]] in late 2016, a cup with $2,000 USD in prizes which was meant to be 6v6 but was changed to [[7v7|Prolander]] in the last minute. [[Sigafoo]] later created '''RGL''' as a league specifically aimed at [[7v7]]. It had a prize pool of $4,000 USD in its opening season, which attracted many high level [[ESEA-Invite|ESEA Invite]] players to the league. [[7v7|Prolander]] was the main format until the first season of [[Highlander]] was announced in July of 2018. The league started to become more and more popular, eventually becoming the premier North American Highlander league. RGL's [[6v6]] league was introduced in late 2019 after the discontinuation of [[ESEA]]'s TF2 leagues. |

+ | Teams are placed into skill divisions based on the combined experience on the roster. Currently, those divisions are ''Newcomer'', ''Amateur'', ''Intermediate'', ''Main'', ''Advanced'', and ''Invite''. The regular season consists of one match per week for ''Newcomer'' and ''Amateur'', and two matches per week for ''Intermediate'' and higher, with teams playing against opponents with a similar win/loss streak. For ''Newcomer'' to ''Main'', each week's matches are played on a specific map that changes each week. For ''Advanced'' and ''Invite'', each match's map is decided via a pick-ban process. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Playoffs consist of either the Top 4, Top 6, Top 8, or Top 16 teams in a division, and are played either as a single-elimination or double-elimination bracket depending on division's skill level. All playoff matches are played in a Best of 3 format, with the exception of some division's Grand Finals. In ''Invite'' and ''Advanced'' [[6v6]], the Grand Finals is a best of 5 where the team entering from the upper bracket starts with a map advantage. In ''Invite'' and ''Advanced'' [[Highlander]], the Grand Finals is a best of 3 match where if the team entering from the lower bracket wins the best of 3, they cause a bracket reset and need to win a second best of 3 to win the Finals. | ||
− | + | Games on any given map are played in multiple halves, with win conditions differing depending on the game type: | |
− | * On [[King of the Hill]] maps, | + | * On [[5CP]] maps, halves are played for a maximum of 30 minutes each. The first half ends either when the time is up, or a team reaches 3 rounds won. The second half ends when time is up, or a team reaches 5 'total' rounds won. If time runs out in the second half, the team with the most rounds won will win. If the score is tied, the game proceeds to a Golden Cap, which is a single round with no time limit. Whoever wins the Golden Cap wins the match. |
+ | * On [[King of the Hill]] maps, each half when one team wins 2 rounds. The game ends when one team reaches 4 total round wins. | ||
* [[Attack/Defend]] and [[Payload]] maps are played as best of 3 [[stopwatch]] rounds. Teams alternate between attacking and defending every round, and each team defends once in a half. The round is won by whichever team captures the most points the fastest. | * [[Attack/Defend]] and [[Payload]] maps are played as best of 3 [[stopwatch]] rounds.

Revision as of 01:38, 13 September 2022
RGL (Recharge Gaming League) is a North American League, supporting Prolander (7v7), Highlander and 6v6, and formerly supporting No Restriction 6s. It is currently the only Prolander league in existence. They host prolander pickup-games within their league.
Contents
History
A number of figures in the Highlander community were playing with the idea of having a class limit of 1 in 6v6 to force the usage of situational classes in competitive. This eventually led to the Challenge Cup in late 2016, a cup with $2,000 USD in prizes which was meant to be 6v6 but was changed to Prolander in the last minute. Sigafoo later created RGL as a league specifically aimed at 7v7. It had a prize pool of $4,000 USD in its opening season, which attracted many high level ESEA Invite players to the league. Prolander was the main format until the first season of Highlander was announced in July of 2018. The league started to become more and more popular, eventually becoming the premier North American Highlander league. RGL's 6v6 league was introduced in late 2019 after the discontinuation of ESEA's TF2 leagues.
RGL is currently the premier North American league for both competitive sixes and competitive Highlander.
Formats
RGL traditionally runs three seasons a year in the Highlander and 6v6 formats, with occasional 7v7 seasons and seperate cups. Each season generally starts in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Teams are placed into skill divisions based on the combined experience on the roster. Currently, those divisions are Newcomer, Amateur, Intermediate, Main, Advanced, and Invite. The regular season consists of one match per week for Newcomer and Amateur, and two matches per week for Intermediate and higher, with teams playing against opponents with a similar win/loss streak. For Newcomer to Main, each week's matches are played on a specific map that changes each week. For Advanced and Invite, each match's map is decided via a pick-ban process.
Playoffs consist of either the Top 4, Top 6, Top 8, or Top 16 teams in a division, and are played either as a single-elimination or double-elimination bracket depending on division's skill level. All playoff matches are played in a Best of 3 format, with the exception of some division's Grand Finals. In Invite and Advanced 6v6, the Grand Finals is a best of 5 where the team entering from the upper bracket starts with a map advantage. In Invite and Advanced Highlander, the Grand Finals is a best of 3 match where if the team entering from the lower bracket wins the best of 3, they cause a bracket reset and need to win a second best of 3 to win the Finals.
Games on any given map are played in multiple halves, with win conditions differing depending on the game type:
- On 5CP maps, halves are played for a maximum of 30 minutes each. The first half ends either when the time is up, or a team reaches 3 rounds won. The second half ends when time is up, or a team reaches 5 'total' rounds won. If time runs out in the second half, the team with the most rounds won will win. If the score is tied, the game proceeds to a Golden Cap, which is a single round with no time limit. Whoever wins the Golden Cap wins the match.
- On King of the Hill maps, each half when one team wins 2 rounds. The game ends when one team reaches 4 total round wins.
- Attack/Defend and Payload maps are played as best of 3 stopwatch rounds. Teams alternate between attacking and defending every round, and each team defends once in a half. The round is won by whichever team captures the most points the fastest.
Highlander (9v9)
Highlander is traditionally played on Payload and King of the Hill maps, with a notable exception of cp_steel as the sole Attack/Defend map. It has only been offered in North America.
