Hello everyone!

Reddit League is back for its eigth season and the sign-up begins right now!

For those of you who have never heard of Reddit League before, it is a 1v1 competition where players face off against each other directly over the course of 13 weeks and multiple divisions on a variety of maps to crown an eventual winner.

Here are the rules for Season 8 (subject to slight changes over the course of preseason. If i promised to include a certain rule this season but forgot about it, please let me know)

Changes to previous seasons in red. Please read through them carefully.

How do established players re-sign up?

Just as in previous season, please leave a comment below this post, or send me a private message on Reddit or Discord (calamityx7) that you’re in again. I will tag everyone who is eligible to re-sign up from last season below this post. You will not be tagged if you have taken part in a previous season but not last season, however you also fall under this category. The sign-up period for these players ends on the 24th of October 17:00 CEST.

Reddit League NXT players and players relegated from D5:

You will also be tagged and can sign up by simply telling me you’re in again. You can choose not to play pre-season and continue in NXT straight away. If you wish to do that, please specify, otherwise, I will enter you into pre-season by default.

How do newcomers sign up?

Newcomers are able to sign-up by leaving a comment below this post with their Geoguessr Name, their home country and a link to their GG-profile. Please be aware, that only sign-ups from players that have played at least 250 regular games with an account age of at least 6 months can be accepted. The deadline for the sign-up is on Monday, 9th of October 17:00 CEST.

An important note to all newcomers who want to sign-up: Please be aware that participating in the Reddit League can be very time consuming. Season 8 will approximately be lasting at least until the end of February and there will be one leg per week. Many participants invest a lot of time and effort in practicing and mid-season quitters are a thorn in the side for everyone. So please only sign up if you are very sure that you’ll be able to stick to this weekly schedule and keep your long-term motivation up high.
