Doubles/Triples tourney

December 12, 2017

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.

Update on Mixed Officials

October 27, 2017

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!

Leagues United event

October 19, 2017

All Inclusive Event......rather than All Stars!

What: Best 2 out of 3 - 30minute matches. One on Ducati, one on hix. If 3rd is needed, captain & co-captain from team with most caps chooses which LU map for the tie breaker. Here is the signup link to schedule which day works out for the most players. https://doodle.com/poll/ru8fzxmguxm6r2ks

All players are encouraged to signup. The goal is for everyone to play! Looks like the popular day is Nov 5th.

Poll closes soon. Captains have been chosen! Msg me here or on forums if you can't log onto poll link.

This is not a Riker's/Chesval wannabe. Teams will be irrespective of geographic location.
