Thanks to Darryl Dawson (for arranging the translation) and Bernard (for uploading it onto the website), there is now a Korean version of the IPL rules available on the website under the "Rules" menu. In order to access this file, you will need to have the site set to Korean language. Hopefully, this will make it easier for our Korean speaking members.

Ladies and gentlemen of the IPL,
Unfortunately, the JR Pub Solid team has dropped out of the league.
This is a bit of an inconvenience for all, but it has happened. This means that some teams will have 3 BYEs this season.
Any future games scheduled against the JR Pub Solid team will now be considered a BYE. The team that has the BYE will get points equal to their average score throughout the season, with a minimum of 8 points, along with the match win point.
Please check your upcoming schedule to see if it affects your team.
It sucks, I know, but we must soldier on!

The playoffs will begin this coming Sunday, November 25th.
Matches begin at 4:00 pm, unless otherwise agreed upon by the two captains. Home team captains, please make sure that the table is available for the visiting team from 3:30 - 4:00 pm.
Remember that you must play all games in the order that they are written on the scoresheet. You cannot skip games, and doubles must be played at the end of the match. It is a race to 8, so the first team to score 8 points, wins.
Make sure that you only use eligible players (at least 5 separate matches this season. You can check by clicking on Statistics and then Qualifiers). If an ineligible player is on the scoresheet after the opposing captain has already entered their players, and it is noticed during the match, you cannot change it, and the individual game will be a forfeit. If it is not noticed until after the match, the match will be forfeited. Let's not have this happen!
As you may be aware, we are using a rather fancy Australian-style playoff format. It is basically as follows:
4th vs 1st and 3rd vs 2nd - winners of these matches have a bye in the second round and go directly to the semi-final round, losers play the second round against the winner of the matches below.
8th vs 5th and 7th vs 6th - winners move on to play the losers of the matches above, and the losers pack up their sticks and wait to get hammered at the banquet.
From the 2nd round on, single-elimination.
Please note that if a 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th place team forfeits in the first round, they are out of the playoffs (as voted on at the captains' meeting).
All captains are aware of their first week playoff matches, and the unfortunate scheduling conflicts. If you have any questions about the upcoming playoff schedule, talk to your captain.
Here are the first playoff pairings:
Division A
Shenanigans Boomtown Rats at JR Pub Team Pogi
Catch Me If You Can - Bye
Scrooge Pub Wonky Triangles at King Pub Seoul
Scrooge Pub Angry Birds at Bulldog Super Strokers
Division B
JJ's The Pain at Dolce Vita Sweet Life
JR Pub Black Hole at The Hidden Cellar Troublemakers
JJ's Jumping Jacks at Bulldog Fireballs
Wolfhound Vagabonds at Shenanigans Rat Chow
