You know the drill, Bracketball fans! It's that time of year, where the iconic Bracketball three-sided field is finally reopened to the public.

You can thank the Gnome Colony for that; after the absolute wrecker of a last season, no one thought we were going to get the Bracketball field back into sporting shape, but here it is. And boy, it looks great. Our teams are chomping at the bit to get this season started.

Not only are our teams excited, but you haven't met a group of people as raring to go as a Bracketball fanbase! Just last week, we announced our Fall 2026 season lineup and fans have already started filling out their brackets. You have filled out your bracket, haven't you?

You haven't? Well, make sure you head over to bracketball, the official Tumblr account of the Bracketball League, and get yours! Fill it out and tag the good folks at @bracketball, and I'm sure they'll reblog it. Get your friends involved, because we all know the old adage of Bracketball: when you're here, you're Gnome Colony!

Hahaha, that reminds me: the Bookkeepers have asked me to make an important announcement, which I will do as your humble ANNOUNCER. Bracketball games in the Fall 2026 season will be held on Thursdays at the request of the Ratking. Seeing as he's one of our significant backers and he has made the appropriate blood sacrifice, the Bookkeepers have decided to honor this request.

Oh, man, the Ratking -- love that guy. You gotta watch your tail around him, and he's really too easy to offend, but Bracketball just wouldn't be the same game without him. I know Grave Operational really enjoys his support and patronage.

But you don't care about any of that -- you're just here for the Bracketball, right? And who am I to keep you waiting? It's time to play Bracketball!
