How is everyone doing today? Awww, come on it can't be that bad, can it? Maybe it'll cheer you hear about a scaled down Uwe Boll? Oh you mean you willingly saw that, I'm sorry. Well did you hear that the former City of Heroes developers might handle Star Trek Online? Still nothing, eh? Well if Nick's crack game journalism doesn't do it, I give up.

TF2 Tournament Update

All the captains have accepted. Right on.
We're meeting on Friday to go over how the draft will work, and to set a time everyone can be available for the draft. Once the draft is done, the first matches will be scheduled.

ALL PLAYERS IN THE TOURNAMENT

BEFORE THE DRAFT - UPDATE YOUR PROFILES

Please add the following info to your steam community profile pages:

1. Time Zone
2. Availability - Days and Time
3. Primary Class
4. Classes you will not play

This will help the captains draft a balanced team. (or unbalanced if thats their style).

ALSO,
Check out your ping to this server:
8.12.68.50:27015

I need to know if this is a good server for everyone (or at least most people).

FINALLY,
If you still want to sign up to play in the tournament, YOU STILL CAN!
Just reply with a link to your steam profile page!

Thank you, and please drive through.
third time's a charm
