Bronze Finals

We will be introducing a Bronze Final match that will take place in the same week as Grand Final between the 3rd and 4th place teams. This match may be forfeited by either team with no repercussions this season. The team who was ranked 3rd will finish 3rd regardless of which team forfeits the Bronze Final.


Transfer Windows

Transfers this season will be processed and approved on a weekly basis. There will be five transfer windows for this season of Highlander. Teams should note the Transfer Windows to prevent player issues with their rosters during the season. Transfers can be requested at any point during the season, however, the players in question will only be reviewed during the current or next Transfer Window, depending on when that player was requested. Furthermore, players won't be processed until their team's match has concluded for the current round. The listed transfer windows can be found below.

For applicants to be eligible to play in a particular round, the transfer application must be submitted by 11:59 PM AEST/AEDT time the Tuesday of the round before the transfer window.

Teams are permitted to a total of 6 player transfers into their roster this season. Only 2 Player Transfers are processed in each window.

PLAYOFFS PROGRESSIONS


After over 50 matches in the first weekend of Experimental Cup 3, it's time to cut back and refine our craft. This weekend, our Playoffs begin on Saturday night with Quarter and Semi-finals followed by Sunday's Grand and Bronze Finals. As stated in our previous post, all team's are participating in Playoffs, with all of Saturday's games being non-ABBA due to the time crunch between Quarter and Semi-Finals. However, Sunday night's Grand and Bronze Finals will be ABBA for all divisions, meaning, if either Summercoast or Problitz are selected to be played, then they will be played as a Best of 3.

Below you can view tables outlining the Playoffs path for all divisions.
