Is the beggining for each round going to be announced each time, or does it start on the same day each month, I'm asking because I see that in some months we need to start 2 rounds, thanks

@Serj01  You send and accept challenges according to when it suites to you and your opponents. :-)

However, your opponents are not forced to start games earlier than scheduled.

And teams are recommended stick to schedule and official reminders will be announced about games that not yet have started in previous rounds till they've started. Repeadetly delays or obstacles in starting up games can lead to warnings, and finally to disqualifications.

Best practises to tageting for lock roosters in matches according to schedule, before the end of each month before next round starts. 
In months where two matches starts, may send a challenge for the first one in the begin of the month, and the next one in the mid of the month.

In EL is it possible to count WL-games as EL-games, as you must agree upon with your opponents in forehand, and then you stick to the WL-schedules for these games.
