Leagion is a Java-based program to scorinate domestic leagues. Its name came from the fact that you can simulate "legions of leagues" without having to re-compile the program as the scorinator of WC13 required. Leagion was not used to host World Cup 13 even though people tend to think that, nearly no code of the WC13 scorinator found its way into the Leagion code. It was written by the player of Rejistania to make H1SR-tables. The program gained popularity by being announced in the Internet Relay Chat and people started to request features. After a huge number of nights with coffee and code, Leagion gained the ability to be used for World Cup scorination and eliminational tournaments. It was used for this purpose in WC16 (by Rejistania and fallback-host Total n Utter Insanity), but the Brazillico formula, used originally in the Cup of Harmony created unreasonably high and random scores. New versions of Leagion are using the original Leagion-formula again (but the KPB formula works too).

Features of Leagion:

  • It can scorinate leagues of any size and elimination-style tournaments
  • It is platform-independent, being based entirely on Java
  • It can sim different divisasi or leagues of the same size in one run
  • It allows you to simulate only a number of matches and then to pause, for example to adjust the RP-bonus (resuming)
  • It is able to do custom-fixtures, also between different leagues
  • The custom-fixtures feature is slightly scriptable, this means a league with 2 divisasi and the playoff between the first teams can be done like this
=2legs
=sort
1 1 2 1
  • It is able to use the Lethal Formula of WC12 as well as the Xamjona'het Tekne 13 formula
  • both formulas are adjustable in every parameter
  • It can use 3 different styles of points: The normal 3-1-0, the rejistani 4-2-1 and the traditional 2-1-0
  • It supports style modifiers between -200 and 200

Current version: 0.15 (This low number has nothing to do with the usability of leagion, Microsoft would have called it 1.0 already. The reason for this low number is merely Rejistania's conservative estimations.)
