Home vs. Away Teams (in HU and in 6-Max) – Rules
Online 6-Max: One team from each conference, each week, will be designated as the “Home” team for that week’s 6-Max matches. This is to create a more fun dynamic and allow teams to take a more strategic approach towards submitting players for their week.
The ‘Home Field’ Advantage: For each conference – first, the 5 ‘Away’ teams submit their player choices blind to the GPL (i.e. they will not know which players other managers chose to represent their teams), meanwhile the ‘Home’ team will be allowed to review this lineup, before submitting their own final team representative to compete in that week’s 6-Max matches.
Full list of home teams by week – each GPL team will spend 2 weeks total during the regular GPL season as the “Home” team for 6-max play – ‘Home’ teams by conference are listed below (order chosen randomly):
Reg. Season Week | GPL Americas – Home Team | GPL Eurasia – Home Team |
Week 1 | LA Sunset | MSK Wolverines |
Week 2 | LV Moneymakers | BRN Bears |
Week 3 | SP Metropolitans | LDN Royals |
Week 4 | NYC Rounders | RME Emperors |
Week 5 | MTL Nationals | HK Stars |
Week 6 | SF Rush | PRS Aviators |
Week 7 | LA Sunset | MSK Wolverines |
Week 8 | LV Moneymakers | BRN Bears |
Summer Series / WSOP | ||
Week 9 | SP Metropolitans | LDN Royals |
Week 10 | NYC Rounders | RME Emperors |
Week 11 | Montreal Nationals | HK Stars |
Week 12 | SF Rush | PRS Aviators |
Heads-Up (both online and during the Summer Series):
On each Head-Up competition day (Wednesdays and Thursdays) all heads-up competitions will feature a “Home” team and an “Away” team. The teams which are home vs. away for any given HU match are marked on the GPL Season 1 schedule. For example – if the match is:
– Hong Kong @ Moscow –
The Away Team – is Hong Kong Stars
The Home Team – is Moscow Wolverines
The ‘Home Field’ Advantage: For each Heads-Up match – First the Away team submits their team representative, after which the Home team is allowed to review their opponent’s submission and choose the player they’d like to play against them.
