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.

Signups are now open for Season 6 of the HBANZ League.

You may sign up to play here.

A provisional calendar for the league can be found here.

The draft will be held on Sunday, January the 12th at 8:30pm AEDT. Details of the draft and retains will be figured out and posted within the next week or two.

The servers are on their way to being upgraded. There isn't an exact time for this, it will be up to however quick the web host connects with the domain.

Once the upgrades are complete, users will experience less error messages and the forums will become quicker and easier to navigate through.

Thank you for your patience in the meantime.
