General Update on New Player System, Fun Cup Sign-Ups and 3rd Cup Round 2

New Player System

Our new player system is running smooth; we are counting almost 500 player registrations in the first two days. Please be sure you are fixing your teams’ roster soon (especially if you are participating in an active competition like 3^rd Cup or a Fun Cup).

Don’t forget it will take 24 hours before someone is added to a teams’ roster.

You will find all information how to use the new Player System in our last newspost or at our FAQ. If you find any bugs please contact an admin.

Fun Cup Sign-Ups

Our Fun Cup Sign-Ups running smooth so far, we are counting 38 Sign-Ups for our Soldier 1on1 Cup and 40 teams for the Basketball 2on2 Cup at the moment. You haven’t signed up yet but would like to play in one of the Fun Cups? Have a look at the Sign-Up Instructions. [Link]

We will start verifying Sign-Ups from the Waiting List from tomorrow on. If your fun team hasn’t enough registered members yet, you should add your mate soon to have a safe spot in the cup.

Beside that we are announcing the general Round 1 Rules for both tourneys, so people can start to praccy already (we will probably increase the winlimits in further rounds).

FAQ + Challenge System + League config changes

As some people probably already noticed we had some clean up and rewrite at our FAQ. [Link] We please you to always have a look at our FAQ first before contacting an admin. We have also added important dates and details about all competitions there. We will have another clean-up at our Rules during this week.

We have also added a new Challenge System:
