D2A (D2 Arena) Dueling League

What is it?
D2A is a unified pvp community across Europe and Americas for Diablo 2 Resurrected.
Our objective is to promote the PvP community through:
- Improved event management
- Increased visibility and streaming of PvP on D2R
- Frequent All Class tournaments and creative events hosted by D2A
- Support for other interested PvP communities on D2R who would like to collaborate with us and operate events under guest leagues within the D2A Club on Arena.gl

Arena.gl:
Arena.gl Club for D2A: https://arena.gl/clubs/d2a
Arena.gl provides us with an efficient solution for all our competitive D2R PvP needs:
- Provides a single all-inclusive location for: registration, communication, and participation
- Simplifies the hosting process, which allows for us to focus on moderation / production
- Automated brackets with built in seed placement based on previous performances
- Better prizes! Including potential for prizes contributed by arena.gl and contributors
- Multiple leagues can be established in one place (TPK, FPK, SvS, NvN, LLD, VTPK, or other)!
- Arena.gl is a dedicated development team, that is focused on improving and optimizing tournament and league experiences with D2R in mind

Prize Pool:
Rather than having individual event donations or signup fees, the prize pool for this league will be accumulated and distributed across events.
- 100% of donations will be contributed towards a 'league reserve pool'
- Event prizes will be taken from the reserve pool based on # of entries & available funds
- This means your donations result in more events with better prizes!
- Donations will be publicly recognized as it is what allows us to continue supporting events
- (Trusted tag on d2jsp and member of the D2A team) will hold all fg donations

Discord:
The D2A Discord Channel will be used as a central hub for streaming, event communication, and pvp discussion.
Discussions in this discord must be respectful so please keep it fun in there. Offenders will be removed.

Streaming:
As much as possible, events will be streamed on twitch. To make this possible:
- Participants are encouraged to join the discord and stream their duels (1 click via application)
- Twitch broadcasters will join channels to display the duels via twitch
- A VOD will be produced for each event with streamed coverage
- If you are interested in helping with broadcasting or commentary please let us know. Eventually we may create a centralized twitch channel if there is enough interest.

Formats:
1v1 events will be most common, but others will be hosted as well including team duels, randomized team duels, free for all, and more.

Toxicity:
Participants are expected to remain GM for all events. Bad manners will be dealt with accordingly and may result in: warning, forfeit, disqualification, suspension.

Regions:
The tournament hosts will specify region locations. Players are expected to create games on the specified region for duels unless both parties agree to an alternate region for their matchup.
Since D2R is not region-specific, participants are encouraged to join events in both regions! Some are experiencing no more than +50 ping for playing on EU vs Americas.

Rules:
One common ruleset has been set forth for use in both regions https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lPj6GvwmKejEW4V6Thgf29r3CmPMbA_k/view
Due to the state of bugs in D2R, the rules are in flux. We are continuously evaluating community feedback and hoping for a common set of rules that encourages fair and enjoyable gameplay.
