Just want to add to this ruling with some context that is worrying people about running out of players.
Last season of Tier 5 had many many promotions.. but only a few into diamond and only about 2-3 players made it from Gold to Diamond in the season. So if it is BSG sign up then I doubt there will be any problems with teams running out of players because they all got promoted to Diamond.

Proposal for scheduling of games
Allow team managers to schedule their own games - knowing the match ups weeks in advance and putting the task of scheduling to the managers (Admins available on set play date - that will act as a default if teams can not come to an agreement on play time) but matches to be scheduled by managers then confirmed with Admins. Allowing flexibility for all teams and players to find a time that suits. We are mostly in a very similar time zone - so finding a good schedule should be easy for most.
Thoughts?

It is HUGELY easier to just know it's on a particular set time each week so people can clear an hour or two for that, than to have it a different time each week. And just the time delay when each manager gets a proposed time from their opponent and needs to go find out if they can indeed field enough players at that time really draws these things out so much that a week can easily go by without getting anything sorted.

Just set a time and day, and save reschedules for actual unforeseen circumstances (imo give each team a set number of reschedules so they can't abuse it) and just make life easy for the players/admins who then don't have to worry about not knowing when their next match may be.

with chadman's proposal teams would have the option of saying 'no we are not rescheduling at all we play at the default time every week'...

i see no benefits to denying teams the option of rescheduling if both agree.

only hole in chad's system i see is a clear resolution if the default day passes and then the teams struggle to agree
