Member Registration Temporarily Suspended

Jan 10, 2016

Due to an abnormally large influx of new member applications for our 2016 season, we regret to announce that we have had to temporarily suspend new member applications. Those applicants currently in the queue have already been notified and their applications will be processed before we decide to re-open registration.

As with any gaming league, there are limits to the number of active players we can have in our roster or even in the space we use.
