The PL is a series of games which is created by players for players. The League starts every 1st. of a month a new game on different maps, with the players that have signed for the next game. Nobody needs to play every game. The winners of a match get points for the hall of fame.
The Players League starts in July in a new season. A season runs for six games, after the six month we get the winners of this season. The winners get following prize:
Winner gets 20.000 Gold and two month High Command for free
Second gets 10.000 Gold and one month HC
Third gets 5.000 Gold and two weeks HC
Point System
Each player gets one point for joining the game. [updated]
Each player gets one additional point if he has a capital at the end of the game.
The third player by victory points gets three additional ranking points.
The second player gets four additional points.
The first player gets five additional points.
(e.g. the winner of a match gets 1+1+5 = 7 points)

Very nice... so you invite players to what is billed as a fair and honorable battle then add a layer of unwritten rules that we are supposed to guess at? At least be up front about it so we can be prepared. If AI are fair game then consider adding that to future rule sets. As a new player you rules on page 1 are very clear its either your 2 teammates or relations have to be peace or worse, and I feel like me and my allies have been given the shaft.
Well, sorry about that. It's hard to get every thing exactly right - we do not want a ruleset that is 5 pages long and we are not lawyers so we can't say with 100% certainty that everything is covered. It's actually been a matter in previous games where it was then explained, but I can understand that a new player doesn't have a chance of knowing this. We can't impose any rules over AI, they are a part of the game, so naturally you're allowed to get RoW from them (if you can).
We'll add it to the rules for next game or implement it somehow....
To further clarify the point had your rule been written
It's not allowed to give right of way (ROW) or shared map (SM) to another active player outside a coalition.
I believe that would be fair warning enough about AI being fair game.

I think the originally-interpreted meaning makes more sense and should be concisely written as thus:
"It's not allowed to GIVE right of way (ROW) or shared map (SM) to any nation outside of a coalition. However, if a coalition member abandons the match for any reason (including getting kicked), then you MAY retain the RoW that the AI will downgrade to."
I have a rule question of my own. Would a patrol or flyover of an opponent's territory be considered a violation of a NAP if not specifically covered by the NAP exit conditions? Also, would there be a distinction between a flyover and a patrol? Also, some patrols are damaging to opponent's provincial morale.
Thus it could be said that "Tactical Bombers on patrol over an opponent's territory would not be an act of war but Strategic Bombers on patrol over an opponent's territory would be an act of war because of morale damages caused by the Strategic Bombers."
It seemed like such a waste to destroy an entire battle station just to eliminate one man. But Charlie knew that it was the only way to ensure the absolute and total destruction of Quasi-duck, once and for all.

It doesnt matter, NAPs may be broken, whether its a wise thing to do regarding your good name for future games, is another matter.

That makes it sound like NAP's aren't worth bothering with. I say let peace be peace and if someone wants to make an agreement with another, you can call it a NAP if you want to, but it's unenforceable. And, unless Bytro implements a reputation system as I've suggested in another thread, your "good name" won't matter in the next match and the next and so on, since there are so many players.

When can I expect to hear something about starting in the league games? I signed up ages ago.

Most players in the PL have been honorable and hold their word with regards to NAPs. In severe cases we may choose to impose a punishment if we feel it's out of control or damaging to the league.

I think in most cases, the other players handle that nicely

I hope we would start August game with "Anonymous round" settings.

why? don't you want to be famous when you win the gold? Plus then why would the hall of fame be there

Maybe this is moot. But can we keep playing the tourney matches (old ones) to try to win Gold from the system? Or will those matches be disabled?
I didn't win my match by day 30, but I am still a viable player for the long term and would love to keep playing it.
Having so many active players made this a fun match and well worth continuing. Surely there are others interested in staying active in some of these matches.

Games will be closed as soon as some of the mods capable of doing that arrives.

Just want to say congrats to the winners!
Even if I did get my tail handed to me the last couple of days cause I was too trusting of an NAP
