The question is like Skeldark stated: Can you use the bonus points you have gained after 25th? E.g. If you had used all your bonus points at 25th, have you been awarded bonus points when winning according to the match result screen after 25th (and do the points shown in the match history match the score screen points if bonus points were awarded)? Or is it just a display bug that Blizzard often has when seasons are locked. Before this season Blizzard always locked ladder during weekly maintenances (exception: end of May & beginning of June 2011 when they had ladder locked several weeks due to some GM promotion bug. It was a mid season lock that they only admitted after some weeks when the community noticed). Locking the ladder on a weekend seems little odd timing. One Bnet interface improvement that I would like to see is that it would show a big text "Ladder is locked" on top of the ladder lists when ladder is locked. | ||

Blue post about a minute ago "The 2012 Season 3 ladder has been locked since August 25, and 2012 Season 4 will begin on September 1. More information surrounding the season transition and map pool details will be released in an upcoming blog, so stay tuned for more info!"

Season 3 2012 will end on September 5 and Season 4 2012 will start on September 12 Yup it changed on NA to locking on the 4th and the new season beginning on the 11th. Completely contradictory to the blue post in the thread I linked. Nice! | ||

" Cloaken Community Manager Greetings, everyone. We wanted to inform you that Season 3 of 2012 will lock this coming Tuesday, September 4, 2012. We are aware that this date is different from the one previously projected and displayed in the StarCraft II client and for that we apologize. The original expectation was for the season lock to occur on August 25, however the new tools implemented in patch 1.5.0 for handling upcoming season rolls did not function as we had anticipated. That being said, this season will now officially lock on September 4 and come to a conclusion on September 11 with the start of Season 4. Thanks for your patience. If you’re on the cusp of reaching your goals for this season, we encourage you to get after it! You still have a few more days to make a final push."

I noticed on Eu it magically changed from locking on 25th aug to sept 5th (season ending sept 13th) and was hunting for the official word. Looks like there is just enough time to get that double promotion after all. Thanks for the update <3 | ||

Seasons end at the most annoying times T.T, first for most of the season but rarely finish 1st. locked on the 5th, over on the 12th september? If that is true it is the first change blizzard made that I am happy with in a long time =D. 1500pt masters 2v2r inc! | ||

Webserver and Bnet was out of sync for some days. Looks like different teams had different days for the lock and did not communicate with each other. Data of the last days of my tool: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=334561 can be wrong. Dont know yet if all server are affected. | ||

I think it's possible to play vs any league even if it's locked, It's just impossible to get promoted/demoted. Sometimes it messes up and you play vs opponents that are way better, remember those GM/master vs bronze screenshots on reddit 2 weeks ago? | ||

The started the lock at parts of the system but not on others. After they notice they postponed. Or they postponed and forgot to cancel it at all places. NA is fixed. EU is still in the 50/50 mode. | ||
