“an 18 game season which is coming real soon.”
OPEN THE ORIGINAL POST ↗

What we’re scoring

A future league-format assertion, but timing is unbounded. Keep public wording and ambiguity rather than fabricating a 2026 adoption deadline.

The ruling

Real soon does not identify a deadline. No correct or incorrect result can be assigned from an arbitrary elapsed period. The listed date is only a review checkpoint.
