The first Modded Format Teaching League starts play on April 14, 2018.
It is an open Elo league in which players organize their own games on Jinteki.net and play as many or as few as they like.
Is this league for me?
This is a league using a limited card pool that should be ideal for players who are just getting into Netrunner and want to learn fundamentals and do some deck building with a limited pool of cards. It is also a good place to learn how to use the Jinteki.net if you have never used it before.
Players of any skill level are welcome to join the league. If you are totally new to the game, you will find other players helpful in explaining the game and helping you get your feet under you.
How long does the League run?
It starts April 14 and ends on May 7.
If the top four finishers (minimum 10 games played) agree, I will organize a Top Four playoff at the conclusion of the League.
Can I still join?
Yes. Registration for Modded Format Teaching League is open for sign up at any time.
Register by signing up at The Challenge Board. Password for the board: noob
You will need to join Slack to organize games (see links below for instructions).
How can I organize a game?
You can post an open game on Jinteki.net with the title: Modded Format League. If someone joins, you should ask if they are signed up for the league because you cannot report results if they are not in the league.
The best way to organize games is by joining the Slack channel dedicated to the league where you can post requests for games. Here is the link to that channel (#teaching_league). If you need an invitation to Slack, use this link.
You may also organize games via any other means you find convenient.
Players are encouraged to play two games with each opponent (one Corp and one Runner) each time they play, but this is not required. Single games still count toward the League.
What Decks Can I Play?
The Modded Format uses cards only from the Revised Core Set and the current cycle of cards. For this league, that means any cards in the Kitara cycle that are implemented on Jinteki.net can be used to build decks. You can use up to three copies of the Revised Core Set.
You can build decks directly on the Jinteki.net site, but the easiest way to build them is to create an account on Netrunnerdb.com. Under the “Collection Tab” check only Revised Core Set and packs from the Kitara Cycle.
Fantasy Flight Games’ Most Wanted List is not in effect for this league, so you can ignore the banned and restricted list while building decks.
Are there any resources to help me play well?
Here are links to some videos that might give you some helpful pointers on effective game play.

Can I change decks between games?
Yes. Each player can select a new deck each time they play.
Where do I report results?
The winner of each game should report results to The Challenge Board. Make sure to get the Challenge Board ID of your opponent from them, as some people do not use the same ID on Jinteki and the Challenge Board.
PLEASE NOTE: The ChallengeBoard has had a glitch recently that sends you an error message when you report a match. Ignore that message. It is about a problem with the e-mail notification system. Your match is reported. Do not submit the same match multiple times. I am sorry about this problem and the confusion it creates.
What if I have other questions?
Please direct them to me (@FightingWalloon) here or on Slack.
Good luck and have fun!
