League details:

All players must register on the league website. www.fortressgamers.com

Captains will need to register their team, and recruit their players.

A free agent system is available for easy player recruitment. Given the small player field that is now TFC, the free agent system will also double as a ringer system. Any player registered with the league will be eligible to play for a team as a ringer. Each team is limited to 1 ringer per match.

There will be no ban list carried over from different leagues. Everybody will start with a clean slate.

FGL has one league server ready for use, and an additional server will be added shortly. IP: 65.99.214.19:27016

This kinda thing has been tried numerous times before and always fails due to lack of interest/activity. How is this any different? Not trying to be a ♥♥♥♥, just curious, as I could probably enter a clan.

It's been a while since players have had the chance to play competitive TFC in a large team. A lot of people miss it. Also, the free agent system allows for clanless players to join u p & help fill out and complete rosters, this has never been done before.

The league will also expand to support other games, there is a chance people from other games willa lso sign-up to be TFC free agents and come learn the goodness that is TFC.

You say you can bring a clan, why not? It won't ever succeed if individuals don't participate. You should definately take a step forward and bring forth a team.

Also, a lot fail due to lack of admin interest, I have interest as FGL is my project, and I wish to see it succeed.
