Week 18 of the Bronze League ended on May 7th. But Week 19 of the Bronze League says it ends on May 21st - 2 weeks later! It should end tomorrow (May 14th. )

If a league division starts on or after Friday, it doesn't end until the Sunday a week later.

We've always started on Sunday and ended on the next Sunday. But I didn't play last week. Was there a delay of some sort?

Also, I just got a notice that Bronze League has just started a fresh week. So I suspect there really was an error and it's been fixed. I'm going to go look. If things are still odd, I'll post again.

Thanks for responding!

Your first recent games were on May 12th so you were placed in a division that ends on the 21st, as I mentioned in my last post. You didn't play any games in the previous week's division.

Oh, I'm new to this and didn't realize it worked that way. I thought it was the same for all of us no matter when we started playing. That is, if I started late, I would end up playing fewer days with less time and that would just be my own fault. Is there a place where this Division arrangement is explained?

Basically, if you do not promote in a week, you will not get placed into a new division the next week unless you play a game. Then, if a division you get added to doesn't fill up before Friday of that week, it won't end until the Sunday a full week later.

Ah, thank you. I had noticed the part you described in your first sentence. The second sentence clears up everything else. You are always so helpful! Thank you!
