Lets make this short and sweet, because it's simple.
The top four teams from each group will be included in the actual Season. This first run-through of WLA will be faster than is normal, to make sure we can function properly and to introduce everyone to it.
Each Series is worth 1 point, ranking is decided by points.
In the actual season, it's single elimination (team-wise), and is standard bracket format to hasten the Season.
8 teams, after week 1 there would be four teams left, then two, then a victor.
Season Two qualifiers will begin one week after the end of Season 1.
