Website Updates
General News by Ace on June 29, 2003 at 10:51 PM

The WarRoom now has a link at the top up there as well as the other link over there on the left there where I'm pointing, see? It's kinda like the Subrealm was so feel free to register and then post those highly stylized flames and opinions that you've been tweaking for the last 7 years or less concerning Shanky's gerbils, Demishadow's abuse of ?sheep (btw thx for kicking my butt on this dem), or Apriori's 8 game 0-3 streak. Vorbis and a few others have been lighting it up for AML (not to mention some good rankings and such), but iml and pro is slacking off and not living up to their reputations.

Also, I just updated the Squad Websites section, feel free to check out all the active websites. Looks some some have received some excellent redesigns. If your squad isn't listed please send me an email with the correct info.

The WarRoom and Stuff
General News by Ace on June 22, 2003 at 01:31 PM

I've made a few minor adjustments to the WarRoom and added the link on the left side over there. Since MR now handles extended predictions I've set up WarRoom to handle Squad Rankings, Pilot Rankings, and any other extended commentary people care to add. Head over there and sign up to contribute!

In other news, the first preseason match of this season just wrapped up with a resounding 12-0 win by Birds of Prey over Arwing. Comment of the day:

Plutorus> I think arwing had this one until the 12 deaths

New season upon us
General News by Wolfperson on June 21, 2003 at 01:58 AM

Just looking at this webpage helps outline that things this season have changed. We have plenty of new staff in new positions, new tools, and new refs. With so much turnaround in people/tools it will cause hickups for a while. So, if your game is called late, or your ref is a bit rusty on the rules, or the bot spews out some binary at you... well, its preseason and this is a big reason why we have it ;)

Anyhow, patience for these things will be welcome. Also, please give opinions on what could be done better.... before we hit the actual inseason games.

(Ohh and take some time to thank those who helped make all this possible!)

Wolfperson.

Premier Preseason Round 1
General News by Shanky on June 20, 2003 at 11:00 AM

To the right you will see the schedule has it's own part. That will be updated from now on with a small news post here saying it was updated. This first time, I will post the schedule in the news also (along with the General Forum). The masterrater also has its own game time thigny there, I will leave it up to the league admins to input the times there (but I will do it this first week).

Next seasons rulebook
General News by Wolfperson on June 18, 2003 at 10:18 PM

As next season is quickly approaching some work has been done on the rulebook.

Please visit: New Rules Draft and then post your comments or suggestions at our Rules Discussion Forum, thanks!

Once round 1 starts the rulebook will be frozen (minus any vital changes if they are needed).

Wolf.

Preseason
General News by Ace on June 16, 2003 at 08:59 PM

The staff of Premier league would like to welcome everyone to a new season! There haven't been a ton of obvious changes, but the foundation has been relaid for a much stronger league for the foreseeable future. Expect plenty of new features added to bots and stats as the season progresses thanks to the Premdev team.

One important note: preseason starts this weekend and the staff would like to stress the importance of the preseason. Starting the season on your best foot may have a big impact, expecially since overall season stats can play a big role in seeding during the post season. Good luck to all 67+ squads this season!

Scheduling
General News by Shanky on June 15, 2003 at 11:28 PM

All three leagues have their preseason matches open for scheduling. Please make sure your squad has your match scheduled for the Preseason Round 1 on Sunday June 22nd.

Season Status
General News by Shanky on June 04, 2003 at 02:16 PM

In a lengthy discussion, the official start date for Premier League has been announced. The preseason will have its first matches on June 22nd for all three leagues.

There will be three preseason rounds (including the weekend with July4th). Then regular season will begin on July 13th for all of Premier League.

Breakdown:
Weekend of June 7/8: Captains should have started entering in their rosters.
Weekend of June 14/15: Preseason matches will be announced and can start to be scheduled for the upcoming matches.
Weekend of June 21/22: Preseason matches - week1
Weekend of June 28/29: Preseason matches - week2
Weekend of July 5/6: Final Preseason matches - week3 (will be no holiday for July4th, but the reason behind another preseason week)
Weekend of July 12/13: Regular Season Starts - Round 1

The season will end in November. League operators will deicide exactly how many rounds, but will be between 18 and 20 rounds INCLUDING playoffs.

Bot information:
Underlord and Dueling zone have created a 4v4bot, located in ?go 4v4dz. Feel free to use the bot and make comments to Underlord on what could be improved or changed. We are still looking into a bot created by Apriori (MasterRater) as a less resource intensive bot with the same features including a direct link to the MasterRater system. Premier League has these few bot options and will not make a final decision until we can be certain the bots are working correctly and reliably.
