This will be held at JR BBQ, JR Pub, Sin Bin and Bulldog. Sign ups will be at JR BBQ from 3pm and play will begin at 4pm.

Summer/Fall 2015 Season Schedule
The new season's schedule has just been formulated and will be posted online shortly.
This year's schedule has proved very difficult to generate. We are down to 24 teams and 10 bars across Itaewon are hosting 2 teams. It proved impossible for us to generate a schedule whereby we can play 20 different teams across the season. The executive committee took the decision to play teams home and away in each division (in other words you will play 5 teams twice in one season) and then a further 10 randomly generated matches. We made this decision as we feel most teams would want to play as many matches as possible in a season and also it would provide more revenue for the bars who support us throughout the year. Mike Osenton, who generates our schedule every year, has posted a message in the forum explaining the difficulties and clarifying why we needed to implement this change to our regular setup.
The first week of matches are as follows:
3 Alley Seoul Misfits @ Sin Bin Tomato
Bull & Barrel Rising Stars @ Seoul Pub Futa
Bulldog Estyle @ Bull & Barrel Ballistics
Dolce Vita Sweet Life @ Dolce Vita Angry Birds
Friend's the Pain @ Scrooge Pub Phoenix
Hollywood Al Korea @ Shenanigans
JR BBQ Source @ 3 Alley Seoul
JR Pub The Ace @ JR BBQ Breakers
King Bar @ JR Pub The Victory
Scrooge Pub Wonky Triangles @ Bulldog Miss.Q
Shenanigans Boomtown Rats @ Hollywood Scandal
Sin Bin Potato @ Phillie's Pheasants
I hope you understand and feel we made the decision in the best interests of the league.

Website server
Our website is hosted on a Linux server here in Korea. The previous server OS version was released in April 2010, and security updates are not available anymore, which triggered the need to update to a current server OS platform. My plan to upgrade the server without a clean reinstall did not work, that's why it took me until now to get the site online again. The site runs now on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS server edition, which will be supported until April 2019.
Please let me know if you experience any differences or difficulties in using the site. Thanks.
