End of Summer Season 1 cancelled
Due to a severe lack of players these past couple of weeks, it has been decided that the end of Summer Season 1 will be cancelled - and instead focus will be put on getting Summer Season 2 going.
The half-points Construct results will be made official and will count towards the overall Summer Season 1 standings, but will not count towards the All-Time standings.
Summer Season 2 will start the 3rd of August and run for 8 weeks, ending September 21st. After that there will be a one week break before the start of the 2008 Autumn Season, spanning 10 weeks from October 5th to December 7th, and will take place at 5pm EST, rather than at 8pm EST.
Summer Season 2 will also begin using the new scoring system for matches. More information can be found on those changes here.
Further details regarding Summer Season 2 will be announced shortly.

Season 2 score changes
After taking a look at the current scoring system, and seeing the scoring trends that take place during gameweeks, it has been decided to change the position points scoring system, effective Season 2 for regular season, and immediately for the all-time rankings.
The new scores keep the inherent “bonus” for winning the game, but also tighten it up for the midfield and lower finishers. It also vastly increases the total score for the lower-finishers, meaning that a single bad game doesn’t mean losing a lot of ground in the championship.
The new scoring system:
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th | 11th | 12th-16th | DNQ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 45 | 43 | 41 | 39 | 37 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 | 31 | 30 | 25 |
These changes equate to:
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th | 11th | 12th-16th | DNQ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Same | +5 | +8 | +11 | +12 | +13 | +14 | +16 | +17 | +18 | +19 | +20 | +15 |
The all-time rankings table will be updated and posted later today.

We’ve moved!
Things were starting to get a little cluttered, and a little too integrated with my own site, so I’ve split the Rumble Pit World Series onto it’s own sub-domain. 
And if things get popular enough and my credit card bill can take it, it’ll be on it’s own domain!
