All of the information is here.

Yes we are playing this weekend. Saturday 3pm ET

I already requested team forums last night and PunkUser received the message so hopefully those will be up shortly.

I strongly suggest making EVERY CTF game 14 min to hopefully avoid ties.

[Asmodian]

I purposely put Calvary CTF + Barb CTF at 12 mins for a reason. I can up the time of "A day at the beach" CTF to 14 mins

[adrenaline]

ok, so explain your reasoning.

Team forums are created.

For next time though...
1) Please don't plan it so tight that you have to have them created within 24 hours. That's not always possible.
2) For the love of god you need to start using people's forum names. I realize that some people are better known as their pre-Gjol/GoS names, but the reality is if they are going to keep playing as their new name, that's the one we need to use in tournament organization/team lists. It's a pain to keep a translation matrix in my head and it makes creating the relevant permissions really slow and potentially imperfect.

Let me know if anyone is missing access, but I think I got everyone.

Calvary is a small map. The only thing adding 2 minutes will do is add 2 minutes of camping time if teams decide to play it passive. If you put 14 mins on Barb Valley it eliminates the possibility of a few strats, the obvious one being the thrall rush because if the 2 teams swapped flags (which happens often with this strat) the team that went more arty heavy in a 14 mins game is going to win with all that time to pick off thrall walking across the map 2 full times.

1) si

I do not know a easy way to figure this out. I don't see an option that list which members have access to the team forums.

Add the account "Chohan" to our team forum, that is the forum account that Cruniac uses. Everything else looks good, thanks for the work!
