We will have Labor Day Weekend off from gravball, and return to start the playoffs on September 12th. The Bagman semi-finals will take place on the 12th, and the Bagman finals and BOTR finals will be on the 19th. The schedule will be posted shortly.

PM Beelzebub. There's plenty of players who surf this website daily yet don't participate in IGBL. Shake off the old gravboots and help SPC reclaim glory.

please see public forum post - it's stickied.

for Independence day. IGBL will resume with Week 3 on July 11th.

Is posted!

Don't forget to predict! IGBL will start next weekend!

Visit the forum thread for full details and match times!. Winner of the tournament receives bragging rights and a post-season tiebreaker.

Regular season starts the sunday after!

Preseason starts this coming sunday! All squads will be required to play 2 games during preseason to demonstrate that they have the ability to show to matches. Preseason will be three weeks long, so there is no need for squads to schedule a match this week if they choose not to. This will give some more time to new squads who are still filling out their roster.

Please see the public forums to schedule match times.

Dads beats etc. in 6 games to win BagMan Cup.

crimson has mentioned in the forums that the site will be going down at some point this week for maintenance. Expect it to be down for "several hours". There is no exact timeframe for when this will be occurring.

While I have your attention, I'd like to also mention that crimson has had the website up and running quite smoothly with very, very little downtime and has also contributed his time to code and update the website when requested. If you have some spare change and haven't yet donated to at least offset the costs of running the site, please think about donating to the IGBL website. The PayPal donate button can be found on the bottom-left of the website. Thank you.

Alex was a great member of this community and we have been diminished by his death.

You will be remembered and missed, Dain.

Rest in peace.

1. runclock is 3:30. This is a runclock NOT a shotclock. Runclock turns off when the ball enters the white box inside the nme goal.
2. runclock from the previous team is cancelled after an opponent steals it and completes one safe pass. If the opponent is past their own 30, their runclock will start then, otherwise it will start when they pass it.
3. if a runclock expires, the opposing team will be awarded the ball and must be allowed to pick it up 1st and complete a pass.

SPC and Godsend will be playing at 7pm EST now
etc and Hooligans will be playing at 8:30pm EST now

Just a reminder that USA has Daylight savings time on sunday, so we lose one hour. This will make the games an hour "earlier". Make sure you are on time!

From Military Police

"Infantry Evolved seems like a fitting title as the third installment in our news series with Continuity and Reloaded, heh. I'd like to announce news that players have been keenly awaiting. Satori and I have been pushing for this for quite some time and we're now expecting the implementation of the patch very soon. It'll be great to have games characterized by equal competition again and no hacker crashes. I'd like to thank Jeff Petersen for taking time out of his schedule to work on this patch. I'm not sure if you'll see him in the game at all, but if you do, please extend to him the appreciation that he deserves. Thanks to the community for being patient."

Some teams have switched times, and other matches have been rescheduled for the following weeks.

This week's games are as follows:

7:00 Legendary vs Ubernauts
7:00 D-Generation X vs Dads
8:30 Godsend vs Legendary
10:00 etc vs Samurai Pizza Cats


EDIT** - Rare's matches were moved to the weeks that correspond w/ the date they are going to be played. The times were incorrect also, but have now been fixed.

Everyone will be watching the super bowl. Matches are slated to start next sunday (feb 14th). A schedule will be posted by Cruel shortly. The format will be the same as last season - it will start with a round robin followed by skill divisions.

We will try again next week.

The current plan is to continue the matches tonight as scheduled. As most of you know, there has been continuous issues this weekend with the infantry servers crashing due to a hacker. If the servers are not up, or are in SAM mode when the first games start at 7pm EST, we will postpone all of this week's matches. Also, if the servers do go down at some point during the matches, we will also stop play there and postpone any remaining games.

We figure this way that at least people won't have to be waiting around all night if it looks like the games will not be able to be played.

... Is canceled for the remainder of the season.

Go here to arrange/confirm matches.

Award voting is up. If you voted last night (Sunday 20th) please re-vote for Atlas award again at bottom of poll page. Nominations were msicounted.

The regular season of GBPL will start next Sunday, December 27th. I know this is close to Christmas and some people may not be able to make it. But it's only one week, so we'll see how it goes. If there are forfeits we'll allow rescheduling to a midweek game.

THIS Sunday we'll have a sort of pre-season. There are no set matches between squads because I though it was too short notice. But if you show up with your GBPL squad we'll get a match going. If not it'll just be scrims. Show up around 7:00 PM EST and we'll see what we can get going.

The updated JvO map won't be up until Monday, so we won't get to use that. You can at least see the pic here:
