The third season starts at Gen Con the first weekend of August (well, truthfully July 28 I believe), so thus the note about the length of the season in the document.   Greg Marks DnDAL Associate Resource Manager

But, since players are going to be making new characters for the new AL season anyway, having a majority of play be entry-level, low-tier play makes sense, with occasional opportunities for higher-tier characters to get in some play as well.   -- Pauper
