Positive. I've tried ot many times on different days. I'm only able to add 4 members. Then I click on the option that asks me if I want to add more members, I continue, and the page doesn't let me proceed. It stays the same.

Free Agents Signup

If you have been drafted into a team, please let us know.
Please refer to the registration form for more information on signup requirements.
Due to the nebulous nature of the current rankings and power gaps that exist between the Top 5 teams and the rest, Season 1 will serve as a proving grounds for teams. Season 1 will be split between 3 Divisions:
- A (Main) - The top 16 (pending) teams signed up from Season 0
- B (Intermediate) - Teams ranked on Season 0
- C (Open) - Newly formed or structured teams
A - Main Division
- The main division will consist of up to 16 teams, divided into two groups according to their placement in the Season 0 rankings
- Each group will go through a Round Robin series of matches totaling the number of games determined by the ruleset
- One match will be played each week, up to 7 weeks
- The remaining weeks will be home to playoffs
Main Divisional PlayoffsB - Intermediate Division
- The playoffs will consist of a seeded - Double elimination bracket
- Top 4 teams of each group will face off against each other in the top bracket
- Bottom 4 teams of each group will compete in a lower bracket
- The number of games played in each round will be determined by the ruleset
- The format of the games will mirror that of the round robin groups
- The Intermediate Division will consist all teams that are ranked on the Season 0 rankings excluding the Top 16
- The division will run in a limited Round-Robin that will last 7 weeks
- One match will be played each week
- The remaining weeks will be home to playoffs
Intermediate Divisional PlayoffsC - Open Division Format

- The format of the games will mirror that of the round robin groups
Disconnections
- Matches will be played in a Best of 9 format
- The list of game types of each round will be released every Sunday 6pm EST
- If new maps are released during the season, they will be included after having been in the ranked battle rotations for 2 weeks.
- If new weapons are released during a season, they are allowed to be used from the moment of their release
- In case of a match dispute, the disputing team must provide an image of the score in order to contest the reported score
- Teams that fail to report their scores will count as a loss and will result in a strike for both teams
- When a DC occurs on one side, everyone remaining in the match is expected to play the game out as they normally would
- The disconnected player must capture an image or a screenshot of the DC screen, and immediately report the following in order to request a replay
- In the case none of the following is reported, then a replay cannot be requested and the game result should be recorded
- If the match is replayed, each team must use the same loadout and members
- Each team may be allowed one free replay without a dispute if the previous steps were completed and confirmed
- For subsequent disconnections in the same match, the opposing team may refuse the replay
Each team will have a match once a week - with the rotation of the map releasing Sunday 6pm EST every week. As there is a week long span between each match period, teams will have the opportunity to contact their opponent and schedule their match to take place any time during the week with the use of a scheduling form, which must be submitted by both teams
If teams cannot come to an agreement for a scheduled date, or do not reach out to each other at all, the match must take place during the default time of Sunday 3pm EST. Teams that fail to play or confirm their match results will receive a strike. Both teams must report their scores using the submission forms. The deadline for reporting match results is Sunday 5pm EST
To summarize:
- Sunday 6pm EST - Map rotations released
- Teams may schedule matches by submitting a form
- Sunday 3pm EST - Default match time
- Sunday 5pm EST - Deadline for reporting scores
The leagues website will be open and available with plenty of resources in around 2 weeks time. We still need time to prepare, so thank you for waiting

Wasn't exactly sure where the best place to let you know guys know that I've been drafted from free agents, so I'm doing it here considering it isn't incredibly busy and there's a good chance you'll see it.
