Season 1 will officially begin May 30th with preseason commencing. There will be three preseason weeks for teams to prepare themselves for the regular season which will begin June 20th. Please note that the Week One matches are not required to be played on June 20th, but during the week of June 20th.

#9 himmel 2010-05-14 14:51 @Hawkeye Now that it's possible to craft those weapons (and pretty easily, too), I don't see any reason to have them banned. Just my $0.02.

How will players get used to the unlocks if they can't use them? Please allow all of the unlocks in preseason. I don't see banning weapons because they are random drops as a proper reason to ban them. I believe that drops should only be banned if they are game breaking, and the only one that I can see being that is the buff banner.

Outside of an XPL match they can use them all they want, it's more a question about ensure all players have access to receive and craft them.

The following weapons are considered illegal in XPLeague matches and should not be equipped.

The Sandman

Dalokoh’s Bar

Homewrecker

The Pain Train

Crit-a-Cola
…
that seems a bit harsh to me… no pain train?

They are random drops so I want to make sure all teams not only have them but had time to play with them and know what to expect.

#5 Grimm 2010-05-14 02:19 I'm sure the new weapons will be allowed once the other major leagues allow them and the community gets used to them.

#3 chipbuster 2010-05-13 17:31 same here. My old one fell apart due to other commitments (school), but after May 30 shouldn't be a problem at all…

We'd get stomped, of course xD

#2 SealClubber 2010-05-13 15:12 I might actually consider making a new team to play in this league.

#1 Wolfy 2010-05-13 14:28 Excellent. Really looking forward to this.
Thankfully it starts during the summer, so I can actually commit to a team
