TWDT 2016 is headed your way, with a tentative draft date of Sunday, January 10th, 2016. Week 1 would start January 17th, with the Finals taking place on March 20th, one week ahead of Easter (March 27th).
In-game, type ?go TWDT and private message !signup to the TWDTbot (type :TWDTbot:!signup), but you can also sign up via the TWDT Signup thread or by messaging myself (Ogron), Heaven, and Turban. Message Heaven, though, it's fun to make him work.
Schedule

This scheduling is important to avoid a deadly lull in the form of Easter on March 27th, where everyone takes the day off to celebrate the resurrection of Cres.
We'll be using the same time slots from the previous two years:
TWDT-D -- 3PM EST
TWDT-J -- 4PM EST
TWDT-B -- 5PM EST
Format
Eight teams will compete for six playoff spots, with the top two squads receiving byes to the Semi-Finals. You either make all three leagues or none during the regular season, however once the playoffs start you advance individually through all three leagues. We'll be using a reseed format this year to determine the Semi-Final matchups.
Each team is required to play a 7-Star or lower, and a 6-Star or lower, player in each game (2 slots) in TWDT-D, TWDT-J, and TWDT-B.
We'll be using a best of three format for all leagues in the playoffs, which is a change from the 20 minute games in base.
Captains
As always, we're looking for qualified captains, so if you're a veteran looking to lead a team to glory, let me know. You can check out the Captains thread here.
We've sent out open invitations to TWDT-D and TWDT-J Champion Commodo will mount a title defense, alongside TWDT-B Champion Stayon. There are plenty of former champions and veteran players looking to be immortalized in ?go TWDT as true leaders of men, so expect another fierce (and fun!) competition to ensue to kick off 2016.
Good luck!
