As October will be an extremely busy month with a lot going on, we'll unfortunately not be running the usually scheduled third quarter classleads round during it. Instead, we're opening classleads today, which will run from now until 0 gmt on the 17th of September (next Saturday). That should allow us to have the submission and commenting phases out of the way by the time October comes around. It's unfortunate that the schedule will be thrown off slightly, but I am more than confident that you'll find October shall make up for the inconvenience.

This will be our last classleads cycle of the year (barring any minor rounds that we may or not run to accommodate mysterious projects that may or may not come to fruition before 2017), so if you have any major issues that you feel need to be addressed before the turn of the year, now is the time to get your voice heard.

For those of you that haven't participated in classleads before (or may simply have forgotten the specifics), here are a few points:
- Classleads are anonymous.
- Each person can submit up to five classlead reports. Please do not utilise alternative characters to bypass this limit: I will be annoyed.
- Your reports should supply reasoning alongside the perceived problem: if something is too strong/weak, you should always state why. Its best to avoid drawing comparisons to other classes, although sometimes this is appropriate. Use your best judgement!
- You should attempt to supply multiple solutions (where applicable - some cases are fairly cut and dry).

There are full details along with command breakdowns under HELP CLASSLEADS and the CLASSLEAD command.

I look forward to reading your reports!
