With the Ster sitting this one out I need a team. Haven't been overly active since last season ended but I will be available for pracs and league games. I don't care where or what I play.

Europe (all of it?) play with their clocks sat-sun so... factor that in.

5th of May would sort of kind of be ok to start season, but it's Easter and cinco de mayo? Does anyone want/not want games on that date?
ALSO Assuming 8 teams and double round robin (14 rounds) ... when are roster lock dates?

3pm:
StarFire Elite vs Llamas -- 1296922
Symphony vs The Dark -- 1296923

4pm:
Assassins vs OUTLAWS -- 1296924
Watchmen vs Backarrow -- 1296925

3pm:
Watchmen vs. OUTLAWS -- 1296770
The Dark vs. Llamas -- 1296771

4pm:
Assassins vs. Backarrow -- 1296772
StarFire Elite vs. Symphony -- 1296773

I hear a lot of criticism over the set times for matches on sunday. Can some consideration be given to captains scheduling matches? I think the dark and sterling definitely had to field some weaker lineups due to the preset match times.

Season 36 ends and The Dark wrest the ultimate podium position from Assassins. Backarrow win AML.


Season 37 will start at a date yet to be decided, although early opinions suggest earlier rather than later. All will be decided in due course. Have to sort out whether anything needs changing (usually consensus is that not too much be changed).

If you wish to advise that your team will or will not be returning, or if you are lodging a new team for Season 37, please advise Caerbannog or Caerbannog+. ?message is the preferred way to communicate this. You can instead ?message Nude For Satan or nude+ although I will essentially just pass the information on to Caer. You can of course post your intentions on this thread, but ?message to Caer is preferable.

At this point a team needs to have a minimum 8 rostered players to be considered as eligible. Last season's max was 14, use that as a guide for now. New teams also need to have a dedicated squad member to be given Council Representative status.

Season 36 squads which completed the season (11):

• Assassins (Y)
• Backarrow (Y)
• Cosmic Rift
• Critical Mass
• The Dark (Y)
• Dropships (X)
• Llamas (Y)
• OUTLAWS (Y)
• StarFire Elite (Y)
• Sterling
• Symphony (Y)
  

• Assassins - confirmed by Mop
• Backarrow - confirmed by Candyman
• The Dark - confirmed by YELLOW HAMMER
• Llamas - confirmed by Street Fighter
• OUTLAWS - confirmed by KingNewbie
• Starfire Elite - confirmed by Solar Hydro
• Symphony - confirmed by Peeking Duck?
  

• Watchmen - confirmed by arc
  

• Dropships - advised by Mighty Sven
  

As there is nothing ... at all ... posted about the washup of the season, I'm gonna post this. I  probably have everything wrong 'cause I'm newb and stupid, but I felt something had to be said - it's like a funeral in here!


PRO LEAGUE
Congratulations to The Dark for their 2-0 win in the finals rubber v Assassins. This is the third time The Dark have won the championship, after originally breaking a long long drought in Season 27. The Dark now have 3 championship titles to sit beside three runners-up trophies.

Bad luck to Assassins who had yet another powerful season but fell at the final hurdle. Ass's league-best tally of pennants remains at 11. This is the seventh time they've come in second, which means they have featured in the finals in exactly half of Pro League's 36 seasons. Not counting of course that some might consider they are a follow-on from Intrepid raising this figure even higher.

AML
Congratulations to Backarrow, winning their finals series v Llamas in straight sets for their first title. Candy's Backarrow were runners-up three seasons ago to Port Llast which some refer to as an upset. Not so this season as they cleaned up Llamasery in no uncertain fashion in the first final, and generally held control again in the second. Well done BA.

Llamasery might be smarting from the last couple of weekends but they are tenacious and one of the squads most likely to show for league even when its down to 1 team. I can't see them not climbing back on their horse for Season 37. Unlike Backarrow, Llamas have been around for an eon, winning 3 AML titles (4 if you count their reserve side when they moved to IML), 2 in IML (one while superbly disguised) and three runners-up trophies. They last featured in finals a few seasons back when simply living long enough to survive the 22 round season was as much an accomplishment as winning a play-offs series.



Thanks to all teams and players for competing in the season. 11 squads survived, two did not. Those 11 squads don't sound like a huge number, but note that you have to go back to Season 27 to find a larger number completing the season. That's the middle of 2010 - 5 years ago.

As a bottom-feeder shit player who can't fight my way out of a light fog, I enjoy playing when I get the chance. I love every minute of 4v4 (except for usually the 1minute mark, the 3 minute mark and the 4 minute mark of each prac  ). Characters don't get much more colourful than what is seen in 4v4 arenas, and I hope to see it continue for some time yet. So thanks for all the fun, and hope to see you around for another bitchfest!
