We’re proud to serve as the information hub for some of the biggest leagues in Competitive TagPro around the globe. TagPro League hosts the rosters, schedules, standings and statistics for each of the leagues and gets updated as games are completed. We accumlate these stats as well as historical ones into player profiles, including player information, awards and championships.
On this page, you can find some information about Competitive TagPro to get you started.
Competitive TagPro has its roots in the formation of Major League TagPro (MLTP) in 2013. The first season of MLTP established many of the rules and concepts still used all across competitive play today: 4v4, 2 10 minute halves per game and no capture limit. It also established the seasonal structure of League TagPro (LTP) which has been the most popular form of Competitive TagPro. Though nightly tournaments and ladder leagues have grown in popularity, the seasonal leagues are without a doubt the main draw for most competitive players.
In its first season, MLTP had just 4 teams, but in the seasons and years since, it grew to 12, 16, 20 and even 24 teams at one point. Currently (Season 12 as of writing this), MLTP sits at 12 teams, but there is also a secondary league for North American players called NLTP. You can learn more about these leagues under the North America tab above.
MLTP was the first competitive TagPro league to be established and is the top TagPro league in North America. It is comprised of two sub-leagues referred to as majors and minors. Each season, an MLTP team drafts a roster to fill out a majors and minors team including subs. With 4 man teams, this usually means roster sizes of 11-12 players. A typical season of MLTP lasts anywhere from 13-20 weeks starting with a 1-2 week drafting process, a 7-10 week season, and 3-4 weeks of playoffs with 1 or 2 breaks for holidays.
In total, MLTP has had 12 seasons (as of June, 2017) since its inception in 2013. The league is administered by an elected group of players called the Commissioners and Rules Committee (CRC). The CRC is usually made up of 5 players experienced in majors and/or minors play and considered trustworthy to lead the league. They are in charge of creating and changing rules and enforcing them, as well as league administration. At the end of each season, the captains have a vote to elect the CRC for the upcoming season. During the season, the captains have the power to change rules by a veto vote, which required a 2/3 majority. This structure is mirrored in the other big leagues as well.
For 10 seasons (S2-S11), the league was largely led by PrivateMajor, so we owe a lot to him for his lengthy service and leadership. MLTP has been around long enough to have a lengthy list of “famous” players, teams and volunteers. We hope to continue this amazing experience so new players have an awesome community to join and we can all continue to get better and have great competition. If you’re interested in MLTP history, a good place to look is the subreddit wiki.
To get involved, we recommend taking a look at the MLTP subreddit for up-to-date information. /r/MLTP serves as the community hub for talking about MLTP, important updates from the CRC and tons of content from volunteers. If you want to play and haven’t tried out Mumble, you should take a look at the setup guide on /r/tagpro. Mumble is a free-to-use, low latency and bandwidth chat application for gamers. Voice comms (or at least listening to voice comms, you don’t have to mic) are considered very important for competitive play. Both MLTP and NLTP games and practices are done via Mumble, as well as other competitive scenes such as US Contenders and nightly tournaments. Don’t be afraid to try it out! Everyone started somewhere :) We hope to see you soon.
Originally called Novice League TagPro, NLTP is a North American league for players who aren't drafted to majors or minors. Like MLTP, it is comprised of two sub-leagues, the A team and the B team. NLTP signups open occur after the MLTP draft and everybody who signs up gets drafted. Games in NLTP are played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
NLTP was founded by P K Subball in February 2014 and is currently in its 9th season (as of June, 2017). The league is administered by a group called the Commissioners and Rules Committee (CRC), which serves for life (unlike MLTP where CRC members are elected each season). You can contact the NLTP CRC by sending a message to /r/commissioners.
ELTP is the competitive TagPro league in Europe. All games are played on Chord and/or Orbit (Chorbit), but non-European players are welcome to participate as well. The ELTP system is comprised of two tiers: majors and minors. Below ELTP there is ENLTP, a league similary to NLTP in North America which is mainly aimed towards people without much experience looking to get involved in competitive TagPro. More information can be found at /r/ELTP.
OLTP is the competitive TagPro league in Oceania. All games are played on Diameter. More information can be found at /r/OLTP.
