Hoping I didn't renew my registration too late....got it in this morning, but it says my status is "provisional (rookie)." Anybody else ever have their stuff expire the day before registration is due? Were you able to get in that season, or no?

It took 24 hours for my renewal to process, so I'd say you're fine. Keep an eye out tomorrow if you're trying to get into a private rundle though. Last season I seem to recall he had the new schedules up very close to the deadline, closer than he usually does.

BigDaddyMatty has been setting it up previously- we would need a Commissioner's Circle member to set it up for this time around.

We might be SOL, then. I'm only at the Premier level myself.

I can step up to the plate, I’ve created a private rundle for jboarders, there are 12 hours to go, registration deadline is midnight Pacific tonight. Whoever wants to join can jump in, if you find yourself the odd person out, feel free to try to find someone to even us up, but I’m fine with whatever number we end up with. Here is the registration info:

Rundle name:
Jboardtodeath

Registration code:
Robbieburns

Thanks Jeff.

I'm the 9th one in - one (or 3 or 5 or...) to have an even number.

We are up to 10! in the private rundle. As always an impressive effort at the deadline! Thanks Jeff for getting this set up!

I've made it 13. I'll check back later and if no one else has joined, I have another one I could possibly switch to

From what I can see we should have a pretty competitive bunch, mostly grouped in the 100-120 tca range, with a few consistently above that number like bomtr and teapot37. I was one of many leaguewide who set a career high in tca last season, hoping the regression to the mean is a gentle one!

If it’s anything like last season it’ll play like an A Rundle. Most days my CAA last season in Rundle in the Jundle matched that in A Continental.

Same. Last season I shattered my previous career high by 17, which, combined with my rundle-leading defense, earned me a promotion to C despite being a borderline D/E player. Prepared to get slaughtered...
