-If all goes to plan, Season 1 will begin in early September with signups (first dibs for prior users, then open to public) opening well before then

-Priority No. 1 is ensuring the best possible user experience, even if the wait is longer than expected (it will be worth it!)

Some developments as testing/buildout continues:

-There will be 3 postseason tournaments: Tournament (64 teams), Invitational (32 teams) and Legacy (78 teams); exactly half (174/348) of all teams will reach postseason and all reg. season conference champs will make postseason

-Working on a resolution to have game results filter in multiple times per day in smaller batches, rather than one massive batch per day or every X days

-Currently planning around a season-per-month timeline
