Update on CAL's Acquisition
As previously announced, CAL was sold to the newly formed CPL Holdings Group, LTD., of the United Arab Emirates.
A few weeks ago the acquisition was finalized and this weekend we have commenced the process of transferring CAL to new host servers in the United Kingdom. While we are hoping for minimum interruption to CAL operations, it is likely that you will experience downtime while trying to access the CAL website.
Please bear with us as we complete the transfer process to the new owners.

That is the info I have found, reading through it they say it will continue to be free to play. They also mention please give time for the switch. I took it as they are just switching owners and they will be continuing the season... Week 4 has disappeared off the schedule. Team standings are still there, Match comms are still there, but It looks like week 4 has been cancelled. This is pretty much my take of what I am seeing from cal's website.
