Wow, 49 teams signed - what a turnout! Thank you to all teams for choosing to participate in this giant Mech smashing event :D
Unfortunately I have one bit of bad news to deliver today, which is that we kinda are a bit victims of our own success, meaning that so many teams signed generate a lot of work on the admin site of things. We therefore need to push back the start of the season by 1 week I'm afraid : (
Here's the new (and final) Season 3 Timetable: 27.September 2014: End of Sign-ups for Season 3 28.September - 05.October: Organisational Phase (creating fixtures etc.) First scheduling week: 06.October - 12.October - During which teams are expected to schedule their week one match. First match week: 13.October - 19.October Match week 2: 20.October - 26.October Match week 3: 27.October - 02.November Match week 4: 03.November - 09.November Match week 5: 10.November - 16.November Match week 6: 17.November - 23.November The regular Season will end on the 23rd of November. If needed, we might use a period of 1 or max. 2 weeks after the end of the regular season to catch up or deal with things that could not to be dealt with during the regular season.
Again I'm sorry for this and hope for your understanding that we have to do this to provide everyone with the best Season 3 we can.
Asian Pacific Region On the bright side, this enables us to put out the offer once more for the creation of an Asian Pacific Region, should there be at least 4 teams interested in it (we got some requests, but not enough yet).
New Refs Also, to cope with the workload we're beefing up our staff with the addition of 2 new refs this Season, namely KweaSr from HHoD and stevemac from RRB. Big thanks to you guys already for being willing to put in some of your time to contribute to the MRBC league! Our new refs will be working together with highly experienced senior ref MangoBogadog from the Antares Scorpions. Also big thanks to you Mango, your help was invaluable last season! We are still looking for more refs, so if you feel up to the task and want to help, then please go ahead and send us your ref application.
New Admin Last but not least we got a new Admin to help as well - thank you Stimraug for helping to keep us sane! :D
