The Provisional Divisions
The signup count for Season 16 powered by BlackOut Gaming is 312 teams with a few on the waiting list to compensate early drops. The divisions are still subject to change, there is no guarantee for anyone except those teams who earned promotion or stayed comfortably in the middle of their division.
If you are not happy with the division that your team has been placed in, please contact an admin in IRC as soon as possible. Keep in mind that much like during the signup process, you must provide evidence of your ability to perform at the level of the division you wish to enter. This means, at minimum, a screenshot album displaying performance of your team against other similar-skilled teams. These pictures can be taken from PCWs, scrims, cups, other leagues and so on. However we do not necessarily take into consideration screenshots that were submitted after the deadline.
The divisions will be finalized and divided into groups on Saturday night.
Qualifiers
Much like in the previous two seasons, we had more applications than slots for our two top divisions. Because it worked so well in the past and to give you all some pre-season TF2 action, we will again host qualifiers for the Premiership Division and Division 1.
One spot is up for grabs in the Premiership Division. 
The Last Resort and Fenneks eSports by SimRai.com [season 18 will compete for this one slot. The winner of this game will play in the Premiership Division, and the loser will play in Division 1. This match will be played as a best of 3 between Sunday 15th and Thursday 19th.
In Division 1, one spot is up for grabs. Three teams will compete for this spot using a slightly different system than was used in Season 15. The first match will be between 
Rip the #dream and TERRORISTS. The winner of this match will progress and play against elemental violence. The winner of this final match will earn the spot in Division 1 and the other two teams will play in Division 2.
Additional Prizes
A massive thanks to 
private_meta for donating €250, meaning we have additional prizes available to hand out in the following structure:
Division 1 winner: €80- Division 2 winners: €40
- Division 3 winners: €22.50
Just to clarify, that means every Division 2 winner (2a, 2b…) and every Division 3 winner (3a,3b,3c,3d…) will receive a money prize for finishing first. We hope this can encourage competition in these divisions!

why not making playoffs for div 2 and div 3 too and give the winner only the price money? 22.50 per team sounds like a joke XD Or just split between prem and div 1
why can’t i see the provisional divisions?
Omnio: the joke was that we assumed the wrong number of teams, too bad.
ok only saw now starks post lol
Mightyme forever div 5
I like it the way it is, playoffs are a pain in the arse.
Big thanks to private_meta and all other donators/sponsors. <3
Private meta for president!

lo3

baited
Actually it’s Coffin
thanks stark
are we seriously the only team on a waiting list
dont forget your tinfoil hat before you leave the house
no mason of course not
I never understoop, why keep teams in waiting list if there’s enough to make a few more divisions series?
sweet
@Kaneco
Because the number of divisions needs to fit to the amount of teams promoting/demoting as well, and there’s not always enough teams to fill a complete division e.g. only 2 div2 teams on the waiting list etc.
Russ stop with your filthy lies, furthermore, prove it.
Please allow the frenchies in the prem playoffs :'(
Big thank you to private meta! :D It´s a nice action ;)
lol
