Triple Hix event is coming: Remember that Consti will be using ELOs for ranking! Boost your elos with officials!

Macsforme (formerly Constitution) has been working on updating the old doubles site... this is what it looks like now: http://fairserve.net/~josh/bzflag/doubles/dummy/?event=2
He is inquiring whether there would be interest in having another event soon? I know at least a few people (myself & OP that I know of) have approached him about it recently.

If you are interested in such events, please pm macsforme on the forums (http://forums.bzflag.org). If enough respond, he will schedule one (and possibly more if this proves successful.)
Ball is in the players' court now. You snooze, you lose the opportunity for fun.

Just to clarify regarding mixed officials:

1. In a mixed official, once the match begins, players cannot change colors unless EVERYONE agrees to balance teams. Teams should be decided beforehand to avoid issues.

2. To avoid misunderstandings & conflicts from those too 'hot to trot' for mixed officials, communication must be CLEAR that it's a mixed official. Players be sure to check the chat and countdown timer message. It will state whether it's fm or official. Stands to reason if it's a mixed official and you don't want that, go obs!
