From the BL main news:
Welcome to season XIV!
The ladders are the same as last season, however there are some changes under the hood:
No Superfinals will be played this season. Instead there is a farewell tourney(see below).
The Raven Shield Advanced ladder has now a minimum of 3vs3. You can still do 2vs2 cbs for the CQB ladder.
Ghost Recon stays at 3vs3 however there will be a season XIV update pack with new gametypes and improved spawnpoints released within the next days. Unfortunaly it isn't ready yet, but the final testing should be done soon. Stay tuned.
The winner of the FFA ladder will also get an entry into the Hall of Fame(previous winners may also be added) if at least 30FFA cbs have been played.
Beside these smaller changes a midseason farewell tourney will be played. You can find the dates in the rules and at your right. Please don't forget that you need to sign up at the tourney AND Advanced ladder if you wanna participate. The 2 top ranked and two most active clans from the Advanced ladders will qualify. So even if you don't win all cbs you still have a good chance to make it into the tourney, when you cb as much as possible.
Probably the biggest addition for season XIV is the challenge system for all clan ladders. The challenge system replaces the weekend schedules we had last season. So you have more freedom to plan your cbs. For more details take a look at the rules and the *DBL Challenge board you should visit regulary during the entire season:

That's it. Good luck to you all and let the cbs start!
