Thank you, looking forward to the season!

Avatar of CzarPc

It would be good in this 2026 season for the League to see the possibility of awarding personalized trophies to division champions

Avatar of Kookaburrra

That would be nice!

Avatar of RainPiper

If someone prepares trophies, we can hand them out.

Good luck all

Thank you for your posts regarding the issuing of trophies to the Divisional Champion.

I can confirm that we will be posting and distributing personalised trophies starting with the 2025 season. The cut-off for the final standings is December 31st. Until then, results can still change because of account closures. All Divisional winners will be announced and trophies distributed at the beginning of 2026.
