Last saturday the second round of the Raven Shield Advanced ladder was played.

First I really would like to thank DrK, 3ID, and Virus for showing up on time. Unfortunaly most of their opponents didn't show up without notification. Please drop us a mail or post in the BL forum until thursday that you won't appear, so noboday has to wait and hope that you appear. You also save your clan a few warning points. It doesn't take much time to inform us, so please do it next time.

Let's continue with the more pleasent things: we have seen a few exciting cbs. Virus is now leading with a clear margin, but Animals, DrK, cO and 3ID are still following and have all chances to win the main season. The rest still has chances to qualify for the SuperFinals.

The next round may already decide who will make the race.

Good luck and this saturday we are going to continue with the Ghost Recon Advanced Ladder Round 3!

The password for the second round of the Raven Shield Advanced ladder is: rvs2

Please don't forget to leave an open spot for an admin when you open your room, so we can stop your cb if you exceed the time deadline.

Last but least please be in GameRanger on time!

Some important things for the next Raven Shield round tomorrow:

All countries worldwide have now daylight saving time. So the schedule times are again as posted in the rules.

You and your clan needs to be online in GameRanger at 7:00pm CEST = 1PM EST(New York) = 10:00AM (Los Angeles). Join the *DBL administration room so we know you are there.

The first time slot starts 15minutes later. Of course if your clan and your opponents are coming already earlier you can start earlier to cb and may have more time to finish the cb.

At all we have to abort each time slot after one hour according to the *DBL rules. Of course we always add some tolerance time, but be aware that if you don't finish the cb on time we have to abort it and the current score counts. We have to do this to avoid that all following schedules are getting messed up.

As it is written in the *DBL rules: if you and your clan doesn't show up on time, you receive a forfeit loss, or if not all of your members are online you maybe have to play shorthanded. So in your own interest be there on time and also remind your clan mates to do so.

There are many schedules planned for tomorrow. So please be on time!

For your schedules just click on the schedules on your right or take a look at the *DBL rules.

Good luck everyone,

*DAMN Mauti and the *DBL administration

Tomorrow the second Raven Shield Advanced round gonna start.

Time to look at the recently most active ladders:

The Raven Shield CQB ladder is going to be very exciting, right now Virus and :we: fight for the top position. c| is already a few points behind and then comes the rest. If you take a look at the matchlist you gonna see a lot of activity. Btw we are aware that the ranking is screwed in the table. The scorings are correct, we are working on the problem, which seems to be a strange index issue in our database.

Last weekend the second Ghost Recon Advanced round took place and we have seen a lot of exciting cbs. Unfortunaly we had to abort a few cbs due the time deadlines after an hour of action, if schedules follow behind. Nevertheless nothing has been decided yet and this week a few non-scheduled cbs were fought. So let's take a look at the rankings:

After -sP and 3ID pulled out last weekend some wins for Po)|, TRIBE and animals needed to be nullified. Further Po)| lost some cbs. But they didn't gave up and with some recent wins versus :cO:. and {E} they are back in the role of the leader.

Very close behind is a bunch of clans, namely *, [a], and -7in, all are 1 win behind Po)|. Another win behind are popular clans like :cO:. and {E}. Then comes TRIBE, where we unfortunaly had to abort some cbs, that went overtime. We regret this but to all clans on scheduled weekends we have to abort a cb after an hour, to not all sequenced cbs become a mess.

Although only outsider chances :s:. and ~W~ still have chances to get into the top 4 clans and qualify for the SuperFinals. There non-scheduled cbs and the next round is probably deciding.

So as you can read, nothing has been decided yet. Almost all clans have chances to win the Mainseason or proceed to the SuperFinals, which will be played as best of 3 cbs series taking place on saturday and sunday. Dates can be found on the right side.

What's next? Tomorrow the second Raven Shield Advanced round gonna start and similiar to the Ghost Recon Advanced ladder all clans are still very close together. Right now Virus is defending his top position but already tomorrow everything can be upside down. So more about the outcome of the second RvS round on sunday after all games have been played.

Today round 2 of the Ghost Recon Advanced ladder will be hold.

All clans please use as password for your games: ghr2
So admins can inform you when the time limit is over and you have to quit gaming. Further don't forget to leave an open spot so an admin can join at all.

Animals and *, as well as * and {E}, already preplayed their scheduled and on-scheduled round. As a consequence their matches for today are already done.

As it looks right now -sP- is pulling out and they probably won't appear to any schedules tonight. If they completely pull out all done matches will be voided.

All european clans don't forget that you have to come one hour later than usual for, and only for, the second round due the fact that not all countries have switched to daylight summer time yet.

Good luck,

Mauti and the *DBL Administration
