Learned League Planning Thread

This is a FanPost for discussing the upcoming Learned League Season, LL69 (nice), set to kick off May 25.

For the current LLamas, skip to the bottom for Private Rundle information.

What exactly is Learned League?

Learned League is an online trivia community. Every calendar year consists of 4 seasons of 25 games each. Between seasons, there are 12 day minileagues and One Day Specials, each written by members (known affectionately as LLamas).

So, do I have to be really smart to enjoy this?

Not necessarily! LL can be fun for people of varying skill sets. After your rookie season, you would be sorted into a grouping (known as a "rundle") which will feature other LLamas of similar skill level. There are 5 levels in total, and there is promotion and relegation each season.

Is there a cost?

The first season is free. After that, the minimum cost is $25 per year (in other words, $6.25 per season). Premium membership, which offers some additional features, costs $50 per year.

Do I have time for this?

Some people take all day to submit their questions. Personally, I spend at most 10 minutes a day on it, usually while getting ready for work in the morning. It doesn't have to consume your life if you don't want it to. Also, if you know you'll be traveling, it's possible to get advanced access to questions.

What rules do I need to know?

There are two main rules: DON'T CHEAT. DON'T FORFEIT. Each is equally important. It relies on the honors system that no one will cheat. It's also very important that you don't forfeit a match because of the effect that can have on the standings. Excessive forfeiting can cost you your membership.

Sounds good. How do I join?

You must be referred by a current LLama to join. There are a growing number of us here on EDSBS. If you comment in this thread that you'd like an invite, one of us will claim you and send you the information you need. Note: the referral system is tied to the honors system, so if you cheat or excessively forfeit, it will come back on your referrer.

EDSBS PRIVATE RUNDLE DISCUSSION

Banach Space Program has contacted most of you about your interest in an EDSBS private rundle for next season. As far as I know, no one else is in the Commissioner's Circle, so I'm willing to join so I can set it up. Anyone else that wants to join must be a Premier Member.
