  • (*)Tournai phoenix gave forfait for the entire 2011 season. The games Tournai played became null and void, as if they were never played.

The match on week 3 in Leopoldsburg (Shotgun's homefield) was suspended due to the absence of an ambulance. In the first quarter a player was driven away to the hospital without a replacement for the leaving ambulance. Rules state that a game cannot continue without an emergency vehicle. The game was rescheduled to March 27.[3]

gollark: Generally with other browsers, unsupported features just don't work. But in Safari, they apparently are half-implemented, but in broken ways which cause horrible problems.
gollark: I suspect apple is trying to deliberately cripple their browsers, to make people use native apps instead.
gollark: This also won't work on Safari or iOS Safari, because apple bad.
gollark: I'm going for just using the new APIs with absolutely no fallback or error message so it'll just mysteriously break.
