Backdoors in PL
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
To get into 'Afraid to Lose', PL's lobby, you can use backdoors which are located on main page. These backdoors are usefull as 'Yahoo' allows you to get into "full" rooms via backdoors. PL has a main backdoor which you can use, which is the Custom Backdoor. Click the link provided. Or, to go into a normal looking yahoo styled lobby, click on the graphic just above the Custom Backdoor. There are extra links just below, for those who want quick access to other rooms. These are good to use when playing in interleague tourneys, where you are required to play in other rooms. |

| The most common tourneys that are played is a 1 vs 1 and 2 vs 2.
1 vs 1, this is the most common game played, all that is required is two players and they play against each other. 2 vs 2, this is where two players play together on the same team. In order to join a team, 2 players get together and make up a team name and password, then go to the tourney page and register. Secondly there are different styles of tourneys. Single Elimination, this is the most regular type of tourney, it is a knock out system if you lose once you are out! Swiss, there are 2 types of swiss tourneys "true" and "regular swiss", true is that you play all the rounds. In a regular swiss tourney you keep playing until there is 1 undefeated player! |

Find out who you play (on standings page) When the pairings are
posted in the lobby, either player can invite their opponent
