[b]IMPORTANT 6s SEASON 14 CHANGES AND MAP POOL[/b]

Upon player feedback, we have decided to [b]keep Season 14 registration open for an additional week.[/b] This was due to the holidays and the difficulty that may have caused teams to have tryouts and fill a full roster. Here is the list of new Season dates. (Invite and Advanced additional changes have been made please see them under the Invite/Advanced section.)

Newcomer and Amateur will be using the [url=https://docs.rgl.gg/rules/sixes/3001/#3001_9-progressive-ruleset]Progressive Ruleset[/url] this season.

Additionally, we will be returning to demo requests this season, the way this works is after officials are played your Division Admin will reach out to collect random players' demos which must be provided within 48 hours of the request.

[b]Invite/Advanced:[/b]

After reading concerns over and polling how players were feeling about the duration of the 6s season, we as a staff have decided to test a shorter 6s season with Invite and Advanced. This means that the whole season will be played in [b]6 weeks with playoff[/b] as opposed to 8 weeks + playoffs. This is in hopes of retaining players by having players not have to commit the full 3 months as we understand that is a lot to ask from our veteran players.

Below you will find the results from the survey.
