RULES
1: You'll get 7 days to do each sig. It won't be the same days every week, because we'll have 7 days for sig making and then another day or so for voting. The sig dimensions are upto you, you don't both have to use the same but here are the templates:





Note: If both you and your opponent agree, you can also make a wallpaper for the week instead of a sig. This is only available if you both let me know straight away you're open to doing it.
2: If you can't make a sig, your opponent will be awarded a bye and a 6-0 win. Note the maximum win you can get is 10-0, but I don't think it's really fair to give 10-0's to guys just because their opponents are lazy.
3: The top two people from each division go through to the play-offs. The last two will play off against each other for last place. I'm also thinking about an "All Star Weekend" where the two conferences would battle each other based on their mid-season placings.
4: The themes will be changed every week, and while I won't tell you what pics you can and can't use, you're pretty much expected to stick to the theme. If you deviate from it a bit (i.e if the theme is the Pacers and you make a Reggie sig) it's fine. Just don't do something that has nothing to do with the topic at all.
THE VOTING SYSTEM
After all sigs have been submitted I will post them and it's upto you guys to vote the winners and losers. I want these PM'd, so don't post your votes in here.
The amount you win by is important. This is how it works...
Win by 1 vote: 2 points for the win, no bonus points
Win by 2 vote: 2 points for the win, no bonus points
Win by 3 votes: 2 points for the win, 1 bonus point
Win by 4 votes: 2 points for the win, 2 bonus points
Win by 5 votes: 2 points for the win, 3 bonus points
Win by 6 votes: 2 points for the win, 4 bonus points*
Win by 7 votes: 3 points for the win, 5 bonus points
Win by 8 votes: 3 points for the win, 6 bonus points
Win by 9 votes: 3 points for the win, 7 bonus points
Win by 10 votes: 5 points for the win, 10 bonus points
* this doesn't count if you win via a bye.
Please don't do anything to rig the voting. I know most of you wouldn't but it could get tempting. If I find out this has happened you'll lose all points, be kicked out of the comp and if I'm having a bad day probably banned

THE ALL STAR WEEKEND
Basically what will happen is that the East will battle the West, with the guys in various positions in the ladder battling their other conference opponent... for instance, if Peachy is coming 5th in the West, and Jugs is coming 5th in the East, they'll battle each other in the ASW. The conference with the most wins wins.
THE PLAY-OFFS
The top two from each conference will play each other. The format is as following:
Semi Final:
1st EAST vs 2nd WEST
1st WEST vs 2nd EAST
Grand Final:
Winner 1 vs Winner 2
Third Place Play-Off
Loser 3 vs Loser 4
Tool-Off
Last Place EAST vs Last Place WEST
Any questions regarding this post them here, this is the thread for everything... except the actual sigs. When they're made I'll put them in a separate thread to spare loading times. I'll post the current standings and then this week's match-ups/topic soon.
UNEVEN NUMBERS
Every week we'll have an inter-conference match-up, since there are 5 people in each.
