Unfortunately, excello.net will not be able to support our tournament, and even though when the tournament was initially conceived it could, as the admins attempted to create a system that allowed for the great chance of success it became clear that their website would not allow for the specifications we required. I apologize to everyone that made an account. All team information has been transferred over and teams do not have to do anything!

Please note we will NO LONGER be using the excello.net website, changes must be made by contacting administrators via IRC or email (below)

The new website can be found @ https://sites.google.com/site/blackouttdm/

Nothing bad, I promise! Firstly, we have split teams into divisions, instead of have one large conference. Teams will play their division rivals at least once during the season, and be paired with teams from other divisions as well.

The two top ranked teams from each division will advance to the single-elimination playoffs. As there are three divisions, the final two playoff spots will be determined by a wild card race. The next best three teams, that did not qualify for the playoffs (determined by points), will enter in a round robin, playing the other two teams once. The two teams with the best records will capture the final playoff spots. Teams in the wild card race will have one week, immediately after the sixth week of matches, to play both of their wildcard games.
