morbo (or whomever is trying to take ownership of the jacks) needs to send one as well. It will get processed quicker that way.

Will be done, but I'm still worried about how I'm going to get my ownership back. This situation really sucks, it's up to Bort & co, I just hope they realize how silly it is for them to take the team away from paying customers. I mean, it's supposed to be that owners who want to continue to own are allowed to do so, it's just that this did not happen because of their (retarded imo) policy. I realize it's my fault for not knowing how long I had ownership, but pointing to the warning they gave is ridiculous. I just hope Bort & co understands that this whole thing is crazy and gives me my team back.

morbo, I am as much for you getting the team back and the WooJacks coming back into WEPL as anyone, but to blame Bort and company for something that is clearly your own fault does harldy seem to be the right way to do it. They did not take the team away from you, you apparently let it expire, as will have happened to many teams that intended to do so. You'll have my full support for the swap with the Vikings, but please don't put the blame where it does not belong. Amongst other things that surely won't be beneficial to sort out this situation in your interest.

The only way I know of to see how much time you have left on your team ownership is to go into the Team Sale options [besides a greasemonkey script] which seems counter intuitive to me.

Looking forward to meet the Meatballs, Longnecks, Ballers n Dynasty on the field of battle again, and to measuring ourselves against new opposition.

ZZ just gave me a huge diplomatic hard on.

I feel dirty now ...

At least it seems as if step 1 is done, morbo owns the Lumberjacks once more, hopefully step 2 can be sorted out as well and they can get back into WEPL.

There we go.

The team "Woodridge Lumberjacks" was improperly removed from the league, while my team "Valhalla Vikings" was left in the league, I am requesting that a swap is made, sending Valhalla to the lower league and letting Woodridge stay in the Pros.

- Helluin

Now the Jacks just need to get their ownership straightened out and everything will be good with the world.

Welcome back Jacks. =)

Now that Valhalla is in an A league, I've dropped my ownership. Hopefully see you guys again next season!

7 new teams in Zeta, that really looks like almost a complete overhaul.

Gone are Rohrheim Stampede, Frankfurt HEAT, Blind RAGE, Oslo Berserkers, MA Trolls, Copenhagen Cowboys, Valencia Billy Goats.

In Alpha it's just one folded team, gone from last season are Blackpool Mountain Lions, Woodridge Lumberjacks and Richmond Renegades.

Surprisingly still present is Valhalla, while the deaprture of Woodridge comes as quite a surprise to me.

Welcome to the Pros to Black Watch, Dinas Mawddwy Red Bandits, London Minotaurs, Antwerp Annihilators, Berlin Ballers, Sevilla Naranjas, Lyon Dynasty, A Team of Ice and Fire, UK Patriots, Black Forest Mercenaries.

This gives us:
- 2 teams from Paris, one to each conference
- 2 teams from Berlin, one to each conference
- 2 teams from London, both in Alpha
- 2 teams nicknamed Mercenaries, one to each conference

In terms of European countries, as far as I can tell with some teams:
- France: 3
- UK: 6 (incl. Black Watch)
- Germany: 6 (incl. Black Forest)
- Portugal: 1
- Spain: 2
- Netherlands: 1
- Iceland: 1
- Belgium: 1
- Sweden: 1
- Africa: 1
- USA: 2

The rest is either not easy to determine or outside my graps of geography.

By the way Ice and Fire are mainly Irish along with an Irishman living in France, a Frenchman and a tame American.

How did we all get here then? Let's have a look, shall we? (Hope I haven't made any mistakes, I'm quite wasted right now!!)

NEW IN ALPHA
Black Watch: 15-1 in AAA#2 Alpha, #1 seed in playoffs, AAA#2 RUNNERS-UP
Dinas Mawddwy Red Bandits: 14-2 in AAA#1 Alpha, #1 seed in playoffs
London Minotaurs: 14-2 in AAA#1 Alpha, #3 seed in playoffs, AAA#1 RUNNERS-UP

NEW IN ZETA
Antwerp Annihilators: 15-1 in AAA#2 Zeta, #1 seed in playoffs, AAA#2 CHAMPIONS
Berlin Ballers: 15-1 in AAA#1 Zeta, #1 seed in playoffs, AAA#1 CHAMPIONS
Sevilla Naranjas: 15-1 in AAA#2 Alpha, #2 seed in the playoffs
Lyon Dynasty: 14-2 in AAA#1 Zeta, #2 seed in playoffs
A Team Of Ice & Fire: 13-3 in AAA#1 Zeta, #3 seed in playoffs
UK Patriots: 11-5 in AAA#2 Zeta, #6 seed in playoffs
Black Forest Mercenaries: 11-5 in AAA#2 Alpha, #4 seed in playoffs

If you base it on last year's records alone, Zeta just got a whole lot harder than Alpha.

but you cant base it on last year's records. a lot of the teams that folded would definitely be championship teams in lesser leagues. i have no doubt that the MA Trolls or the Frankfurt HEAT would have easily won an AAA title.

Hell, both were in constant contention for the Pro ones...
