Players that are allowed to participate in 2nd league:

(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. Detailed event rules you can read here.

Maps: Toxicity, Cure, Dismemberment, Sinister, Lostworld, Silence, Battleforged
Mapchoice: drop first, all matches BO3

Prize: Div2  winner will get a personal invite to the next Pro-League Season OR 1000 RUR prize money. 2nd place in the Div2 S#2 will get respectively 1000RUR or an invite to the Pro-League, depends on what the 1st place winner chooses

 After the signing up will be closed, 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.

Group Stage - 13 April - 3 May
FInal Stage - 4 May 18 May

Starting with season #3 additional scheduling rules come into play. Players are allowed to play their games at any times throughout the three dedicated weeks just like before. However now every group gets three special match days when players of the group are asked to be available on irc to play their games. If a player hasn't played all his games after the three weeks are over and he hasn't been available during the match days he will receive deflosses for the missed games if his opponent in turn was online irc and waiting for him during the match days. If both players have been abscent during the match days and haven't scheduled the game otherwise their match will be considered a tie.
This special day for Div2 group stage is every wednesday during this three weeks - it is 15 April, 22 April and 29 April. Please check in at these evenings (~17:00-23:00) at div2 checklist, just write to any our admin at irc.

There are 3 weeks for the Group Stage from 13 April to 03 May. 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). 

Two players from the every group at 1st group stage will be passed to Final Stage, which will take place from 4 May to 24 May
