Hello Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share the latest developments as we trek into Season 56. We have solidified a format, schedule and Maps as we initiate the start of the season and transition into the Playoffs. This Season we have had a HUGE influx of squads form during the offseason; we are sitting at 8 active squads as we round out the finish line to our upcoming season. These are some exciting times for both the staff and community alike. Thank you to each of you from player to captain to staff; nothing is possible without your involvement.

During our active discussion(s) with the captains and elected officials within our roundtable we have been able to discuss, create and implement important details that will shape our upcoming season. The upcoming season will have each squad playing each other Once as opposed to twice. The reason for the change is due to the length of our season. If we would have gone for each squad playing each other twice we would have a 14-18 week season when you account for playoffs and/or Holidays. We would be lurking into August/September timeframe for completion. The captains and staff discussed and we came to the agreement on playing each other once.

Here is the following Season 56 schedule: Please note the Schedule and the maps were RnG'd for the fairest outcome. The captains were provided video(s) of the map and schedule randomizers.

Season Start Date: April 26th, 2026.

* Side selection will be decided based off coinflip as there is no bias utilizing that form of side selection.

Playoff format and BotR:

Given that there are 8 active squads this season we will be re-introducing BotR to the community. Our goal has always been to cultivate a community of competition and this season will be no different. We will maximize each squad's strengths and allow everyone the opportunity to win; in playoffs and/or BotR.

The top 4 squads will be eligible for official Season 56 playoff contention.
#1 squad vs #4 squad
#2 squad vs #3 squad

Winner of Game A will face Winner of Game B in the Season 56 championship.

For BotR the remaining 4 squads will compete for the other award and in similar fashion
#5 squad vs #8 squad
#6 squad vs #7 squad

Winner game A will face Winner of Game B in the BotR Finals.

Good luck to each and every one of you as we move forward to our most competitive and active season yet!
