Hello all!
We will shortly launch a completely new (or at least heavily updated) league at HaxBall Suomi. Some of the key features of this new league, which has acquired the working title N&E HaxBall League (N&E stands for North & East), are as follows:
In this topic, you may register yourself as being interested in playing / captaincy in this new league. If you want to be a captain, you could also name a couple of players you might be able to persuade to join your team, just to get some kind of picture of how many teams could possibly be formed for this first season of N&E HaxBall League.
We will launch the official registration process shortly (no later than 12 Aug).
Update 8 Aug:
Poll added. Thanks for the idea, mts89. About the options: as most (if not all) known leagues use some kind of a 4v4 format, we're reluctant to consider "normal" 4v4 Big Easy or 4v4 Big 3def for this league. If you really only want to play with those formats, there are certainly enough leagues to choose from as it is. Keeping that in mind, we've thought about what playing formats would provide an alternative for all those 4v4 leagues and added those formats to be polled.
A few notes about the poll and this topic in general:
– Choose every playing format you would agree to play with – not just your preferred one. A competitive league needs quite a few players and it is simply impossible to accommodate everybody's desires about everything. So please be prepared to give and take.
– Please do not vote if you have not registered for the league in this topic. Fake voters will be banned.
– Only league discussion allowed: one user (T meister) has already been banned because of offtopicing. If you have comments about the playing format etc, you can include them in your registration message or write a new one.
– Please abstain from pursuing offtopicing by other users. There is absolutely no need to respond to every moronous message and thus make the topic harder to read. Report posts if you think they are out of line.

We will shortly launch a completely new (or at least heavily updated) league at HaxBall Suomi. Some of the key features of this new league, which has acquired the working title N&E HaxBall League (N&E stands for North & East), are as follows:
- Playing format: 3v3
- Stadium: Big
- Playing time: 2 x 5 min
- Teams: Created "freely" (used to be drafted by captains)
- Official language: English (used to be Finnish)
- Eligible for captaincy: Everyone with ability and willingness to communicate respectfully in English with other captains & players (only Finnish-speaking players were eligible before)
- Eligible to play: All players who believe they have good enough ping to play and are not serving any bans from Finnish league activity from the past... Note, however, that the league's "headquarters" remain in Finland, so a "normal" ping will be judged on grounds of that. If you're equipped with a decent Internet connection in Finland/Sweden/Estonia/Westernmost Russia, you should be always able to play without any problems. If you have better than decent connection, you can join from even further away from Finland
- Matchdays: Sunday and Thursday at 22 EET (21 CET), as we are aware that many of the prospective players joining this league also participate in the Your-Esports Bundesliga. We don't want HaxBall to take every one of your precious evenings in the week (Thursday and not Wednesday because of UCL – we know there are lots of you football fans out there too)
- League schedule: Planned start in the beginning of September – maybe even as soon as 1 Sep. Duration depends on number of teams registered, but in any case Season 1 should be finished before Christmas.
