It says on battlenet the season ends on 9/1, does that mean it is currently locked? Or it will be locked come 9/1? And if thats the case does anyone know when the new season will start? Kinda baffled that I haven't seen this information posted here or anywhere else for that matter... thanks in advance!

season ends 1/9/12, lock starts usually 1 or 2 weeks before so its currently locked.

I believe the Bonus Pool stops growing in a lock, so it shouldn't be too hard to see :-)

If that's the case then it's not locked, I've had bonus pools go to 0 and then go up to 7 or 8 over the past few days.

I don't think it's locked and Blizzard never made a post on Battle net forums about it not sure why it's not locked yet.

It locks 9/1 and should begin anew on a following Tuesday. 9/1 is a Saturday, so I'm not sure which Tuesday it will be.

Maint was today, if I had to bet, I would say that its going to be locked today. Plus monday is a holiday here in the states, Im guessing that tues will be the start of next season instead of 9/1

This is really weird, it said season lock starts at 25/8 or 26/8 (don't remember exactly). However I'm still getting bonus pool. I wonder what's going on with this season.

Are you sure there even will be a new season on 1st? Maybe this date is just a placeholder or a bug, usually blizz announces a new season.

Exactly, season lock on August 25 and it's still not locked. Typical blizzard, it should have been:

Season Lock: Soon™.

So no post on battlenet and someone got promoted yesterday really sounds like that the ladder is not locked, although there is an exact date on the game client. I am confused.
It is difficulties which give birth to miracles.
