Hello everyone,

We are glad you are enjoying your stay on HBANZ.

Unfortunately the servers that we are hosting on are closing and we have to move to another host. I will try to do this today so there may be some parts of the site that stop working.

You can continue to use chatango here: hbanzorg.chatango.com

There may be some issues along the way, so if you are encountering any problems with the site then post it the bug reporting thread (try provide as much detail as possible): http://www.hbanz.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=10

Hopefully everything will goes smoothly

Note: Any changes on HBANZ from this point onwards will be rolled back to the time of this post.
EDIT 1: Not yet, will post when
EDIT 2: All done!

See you all on the other side,

- Winky

HBANZ is being transferred to a new server - there may be some down time. Everything should be back to normal within 72 hours.

Everybody's ban has been lifted. Take this as a warning, anyone who posts IRL info about other members without their consent will be banned, so don't take any chances.

Thanks to the donation money we've received, we've invested in purchasing our own Teamspeak Server.

Server details:
Address - sydts13.techsmith.com.au:9107
Password - hbanz

You may also click the 'Teamspeak' button located at the lop left of HBANZ to join.

There is a max limit of 15 people at a time. If there's a lot of interest and people use it often then we may raise the limit.

Hopefully everybody enjoys it, and we should try and use it as much as possible because it's quite a lot of fun to play while on Teamspeak.

Cheers.

The HBANZ League Season 8 Draft will be streamed on Sunday the 10th of August at 9:00pm EST on the forum index page of hbanz.org. This will be the league's first attempt at an affiliation based system.

Season 7 of the HBANZ 3v3 League will introduce a two-division league system, with the HBANZ Premier League and the HBANZ Championship.

The HBANZ Premier League will feature intense, high-level, challenging matches every week for older, more skilled players, while the HBANZ Championship will be an opportunity for newer or less-skilled players to take control of their own teams and play every week in a lower-pressure, more level playing field with the goal to eventually gain promotion to the HBANZ Premier League.

The new promotion and relegation element will bring more importance and excitement to every match, and several rule changes including the change to one match a week every Sunday and the removal of app limits should make the league more enjoyable for everyone.

As well as this, the new HBANZ League Cup played during the midweek will be a chance for additional competitive haxball for those who want it, with every team over both divisions competing with each other in an exciting knockout competition separate from the HBANZ Premier League and HBANZ Championship.

You can find more details (rules and format) here: http://hbanz.org/showthread.php?tid=437, and signups for Season 7 are now open here: http://hbanz.org/signup.php. Those who have signed up previously for Season 7 need to sign up again if they want to play.

Looking forward to an exciting and enjoyable season.
