Hello,

From the Arena Pass ToU:

The Arena Pass Service shall last for approximately nine (9) weeks, and will commence on June 25, 2013 at approximately 10:00 AM, Pacific Daylight Time (7:00 PM CEST)(subject to 'Server Maintenance' to be performed by Blizzard), and end on August 27, 2013 at 1:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time (August 27, 2013, 10:00 AM CEST, subject to 'Server Maintenance' to be performed by Blizzard). The first five weeks of the Ladder Phase of the Arena Pass Service will be a "practice" period, and during this time Arena Pass participants may switch from one team to another without that Arena Team being penalized. After the "Practice Period," all Arena Rating points will be set to 0, and Arena Teams shall compete to earn an Arena Rating based on their participation in 3 vs. 3 matches held in the "Arena Player vs. Player Battlegrounds" on the Arena Pass Realms.

Since the first five weeks is the practice phase, the rated phase likely starts the week of July 30th.
