2 Divisions!

We had quite the low signups this season, because of this we have chosen to go with two divisions with a 6-4 split. While we understand players wanted an Intermediate to have some off-class seasons, we cannot justify that this season. The skill divide is also quite clear within the teams, meaning any movement of the bottom Premier teams would cause an imbalance and heavy restrictions. The restrictions will be off to people, but we decided to keep some of the stronger players unrestricted to allow them to compete with each other with stronger players available. If one of those players were restricted, it would constitute more restrictions across the board.

Progression of the Season

Premier will have only a 5 week season due to only having six teams, while Main will have 6 week season versing each team twice before moving onto playoffs.

Staff Applications

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to indy and her jones as a staff member. Her work throughout the seasons has been invaluable and we thank her for all the assistance she provided to us. She will join Redja and Sperkle down at the farm. Replacing her is noemie, who offered to step up and offer her services. With this, our small team may need some extra hands. If you feel like you got the passion, put an application in!

Changes

With the short turnaround and business of staff, there have been no discussion of changes to map pool (you all voted what you voted don't yell at me). This could always change but for now we make no promises. Keep an eye out and we will let you know if we change our mind!

A Small Note from me

With everything that has gone on, we are stretched a bit thin. Thank you everyone for giving us some time to get our ducks in a row. If I can request some leeway towards staff as we look to move forward, it would be greatly appreciated. If there is feedback or ideas feel free to create a ticket or reach out to me on discord (evelynntf), all I ask is understanding and patience. Thank you!
