In the 2nd league are allowed to participate:

(1) All players who took part in the current pro-season qualifications but couldn't win a slot.
(2) All players who couldn't reach top3 in the GS1 of the current pro-season (and thus can't continue to play in the pro-league this season).
(3) All players who want to participate in general - however players should not have an  ELO above 2200 (and as usual the quake live account should have more than 300 duels played and 3 played days in total).

In some particular cases 125FPS can allow players with 2200 ELO or more to play in the Div2 league as well as disallow players with ELO below 2200 to participate. All players, described in (1) and (2) are always allowed, regardless of their current ELO status as long as they do not have any restrictions or bans.

Div2 league consists of 2 group stages, without playoffs, all matches are BO3. The amount of groups and players per group is based on the amount of registered players. Presumably there will be 3-6 groups of 4-6 players in the first stage, and 1 or 2 of them will pass to the next stage. The second stage is supposed to only be one group of 6-8 players the winner of which will be proclaimed the winner of the Div2 season.

 After the official announcemen, players can connect with each other (via IRC, 125FPS admin or somehow else), schedule and play their games at any time they want to - they even can play all matches during one day. All results should be posted in Challonge by players only. There are 3 weeks for the first group stage. If someone misses his match or can't play it during the given period, he automatically gets a default loss. If someone gets a lot of default losses, he will receive a yellow card. Two yellow cards received in two following one after another seasons means auto ban for a next season.
