All these questions will be answered in the Discord or the club, but in short, we host casual 5|10 Old Standard FFA and Teams games every weekend (Saturday is Teams, Sunday is FFA). We randomize the pairings and create new matches between players. Then, at the end of the season (usually 8 weeks), we have playoffs with the top 16 players based on their cumulative score (3 points for every game they win, 1 for draw in teams/tie in FFA, 0 for loss).
To join the League, make sure to go to the website and register. If you do not have a Discord account, just join the club and ask to be added to the League. Since Season 1 is basically over, you probably won't be able to play until Season 2 (unless we need a substitute player).

Please register for the League on the website at: https://4playerchessleague.com/registration/
I think you'll enjoy the FFA Playoffs format we've come up with, I got a lot of ideas from your 2023 Championship proposal.

Fans of 4PC, by now you have probably heard of, maybe even participated in, the 4 Player Chess League. Every weekend, we host Old Standard games for players to play in and move up divisions, constantly competing with other players for the highest score. We've recently decided to create a club so that you do not have to join our Discord server (although it is still preferred that you do), which used to be a major setback and an issue some players could unfortunately not deal with. Hopefully, this broadens our community and welcomes even more new players to the 4PCL: on that note, if you're new to 4PC or the League, welcome!
Here is the club: https://www.chess.com/club/four-player-chess-league
