History

Season 1 (2014): the EU and NA ladders

PSBL launched on the 2014 site as an open league with two ladders, Europe and North America, each split into divisions. The league page linked to the rules, the maps, the signups and the F.A.Q.; Season 1 signups closed once the season was in progress. The Season 1 rosters and the schedule and results are kept on their own pages.

Season 2 (2015) and the AU ladder

Archived: the league as listed on the About PSBL page of the 2015 to 2016 site.

In 2015 the league ran three ladders, each with its own rules, maps and results pages:

Season 2 was played in the EU ladder: signups ran from 17 March to 12 April 2015 and the season from 20 April to 7 June 2015 (see the Season 2 rules).

PSBL Season 3 - Continuous (EU/NA/AU)

The last version of the About PSBL page announced a continuous third season shared by all three regions, with its rules and organisation in a Google document. Its maps and leaderboard were listed without links.

Past seasons (2016 site)

By 2016 the league was written about in the past tense. Its page listed the past seasons: the Rules and Organisation, the Season 1 EU results, the Season 1 NA results (which held the two NA division rosters) and the Season 2 EU results.

Maps

The old site had a maps page for each ladder. The Season 1, NA and Briggs maps pages had no text when they were archived; the EU and 2015 maps pages held a single link to the PSBL EU season 2 map album.

The bases themselves are listed in the rules:

How to join (archived)

Archived: PSBL no longer runs and takes no signups. These notes describe how teams joined in 2014 and 2015.

  • Season 1 Signup (November 2014): the signup page held only the heading “Signups!”. By January 2015 the league page marked signups as “Currently closed - Season 1 in progress”.
  • Signups for Season 2 (2015): the page asked teams to “sign into your Google Account before filling in the form”. The form itself was not archived. Season 2 signups ran from 17 March to 12 April 2015.

Who could sign up and how divisions were made is answered in the PSBL FAQ.
