Registration for Season 19 of RGL Sixes is here and open now!
Full Announcement Article here
Importantly, team Registration closes Sept. 7th and teams must have the minimum players rostered/paid (>5) by Sept. 13.
Teams interested in registering for Invite or playing in Invite Qualifiers (if needed) should reach out to me or a.t. when registering.
The map pool and order are still under discussion and will also be released next week.
I won't rehash the entire article here, but as many have anticipated, the loch n' load will be removed from the RGL Sixes Whitelist for Season 19.
Please look out for more on weapon bans and other survey results from Season 18 in an upcoming article on the RGL site soon.

Is there an objective pre-set cutoff needed for an unlock to be banned (or unbanned for that matter)? For anything on the extreme it probably doesn't matter but for anything contentious in the future adjusting the threshold post-hoc after looking at the data would obviously be pretty bad. Not trying to claim that this has happened before or anything, just wondering.
As an example for Smogon (unofficial pokemon singles) the threshold for ban is 60%+ among people who make the requirements to vote. It's harsh in the sense that people who do not make recs do not get any say (though this is def a necessary evil for a game like pokemon); a "smoothed" out version would just be to weight votes by division but the choice of weight, like the cutoff itself, is arbitrary. But at the very least pre-specifying something is better than doing it afterwards.

plinko being the head admin of 6s is a great change. plinko truly cares about the scene and i think many will come to appreciate him in the head admin role and he's one of the more reasonable and community facing admins from that of the past. Excited to see what comes next

Season 19 Map Pool, Player Restrictions and Survey Results
Again, not gonna rehash everything in here, but the general map pool (Newcomer -Main) is announced in the article:
Week 1: cp_sunshine
Week 2: cp_granary_pro_rc17a3
Week 3: koth_bagel_rc11
Week 4: cp_reckoner
Week 5: cp_metalworks_f7
Week 6: koth_clearcut_b18
Week 7: cp_gullywash_f9
Week 8: cp_process_f12
Yes, we've heard growing complaints about Snakewater from the community and so giving it a break this season. There are a number of promising maps in development, but we don't feel any are quite ready to add to the general map pool just yet. We are very optimistic one or more might be ready for Season 20.
There is a lot more in the article, please read through. I am really excited for this upcoming season!

I appreciate the kind words and support and I am going to do my best to live up to the spirit of them.
That said, I think it's important to say that I owe Kitty a tremendous debt of gratitude for all the hard work she has put in the past two years leading the Sixes team and building it up from a rough patch.
To the extent you are seeing some positive things today, from the recent LANs to some of the progress I hope you will see in our transparency and communications, it could only happen because Kitty did a lot of work to have us ready and able to move forward with these initiatives.

Repeating the announcement made earlier this evening on the RGL Discord - we have decided to delay the Invite and Advanced seasons by one more week to allow some teams to finalize rosters. During this time, we are open to any additonal teams that want to form for either of these divisions (not Main or below). If you might have a team to form or revive a previously dead/inactive Advanced or Invite team - please reach out to Tristen, a.t. or myself right away.
This extension also moves the deadlines for having 5 paid roster players to Saturday, Sept. 20. The Invite poll deadline has also been extended to midnight EDT Thursday, Sept. 18.
