For managers:
  • Contact your spinners and tell them they have been selected. Get to know them better, and know their skill level.
  • I will create two subforums: one for each team. Each subforum will be password protected. Please give the password to your team and make sure they can access the area
  • Give your team a name. PM your choice of name.
For spinners:
  • Contact your manager, or wait for him to contact you. If he doesn't contact you by Monday, send him a message.
  • Make sure you can access the private forum for your team.
  • Get to know your teammates.
  • Read up on the rules if you want to understand the game better. This is not necessary, as only managers require a deep understanding of the rules.
For the general audience:
  • Use this thread to discuss the game, predict results, etc...
  • Ask questions for the managers or the referee about any aspect of the game.
  • Enjoy the battle!

Hello everybody!

The first round of matching is almost here!

For those who are unfamiliar with the rules, it is my hope that you understand how the system works by the end of this battle.

Matching rounds is basically a process where the two managers decide on the player lineups. In other words, we determine who faces who in what match for the battle. Once the matching period is over, the lineups are final and cannot be changed, barring exceptional circumstances.

The first round of matching begins Monday at 8AM and ends at 8PM.

I will be hosting a special event at the end of round 1: Monday March 5th, 8PM EST (-5 GMT) in the chatroom. Be there!

You can access the chatroom via the UCPSB chat client, located on the main page.

During this event, I will reveal the teams names, the managers' cards choice (more on that later), and also the teams' captain and assistant captain.

There will be daily events organised in the chatroom, stay tuned!

All the cool kids will be there :D :D

what? no way lol that's tomorrow.

I don't know if your manager told you, but you submit videos only at the end of the month basically...

Zombo - March 6, 2007 02:00 AM (GMT)
Round 1 summary:

Here's a summary of what happened during the chatroom event:

-Team names were revealed:

[doHTML]<font color=FF0000><b>Sage Cows</b></font>[/doHTML] (acronym of team members' names) is strat1227's team. Abbreviation is [SC].

[doHTML]<font color="dodgerblue"><b>Azzurro</b></font>[/doHTML] is Gizzardsmack's team. Abbreviation is AZRO.

-Team cards were revealed:

Both [SC] and AZRO will use 2 swaps, 1 freeze.

-Team captains and assistants were revealed:

Sage Cows assistant: Gunnies.
Azzurro assistant: Blackhero.

Sage cows captain: Eriror.
Azzurro captain: Flip.

All information has been updated on first post.

Please stay tuned for Round 2, where managers will reveal their lineup for the matches. Remember that there are 2 doubles and 3 singles matches, and the managers have to insert their 7 spinners into those matches. They may also apply a freeze card on any of those match to lock the spinners in the targeted match.

I will be hosting a special event at the end of round 2: Tuesday March 6th, 5:30PM EST (-5 GMT) in the chatroom. This time is tentative and may be subject to change! Confirmation will be given later!

You can access the chatroom via the UCPSB chat client, located on the main page.

During this event, I will reveal the teams' lineups and any card that is applied.

There will be daily events organised in the chatroom, stay tuned!

Zombo - March 6, 2007 03:09 AM (GMT)
I have moved tomorrow's chatroom event up. It is now 5:30PM EST not 8:00PM! 2 hours 30 minutes earlier! This should be beneficial to Europeans!

firebird - March 6, 2007 03:47 AM (GMT)
Wow. Someone finally managed to spell "you're" properly. Now all you have to do is stick the apostrophe in.

Rorix - March 6, 2007 05:16 AM (GMT)
Argh.

Not again. :banghead:

blackhero - March 6, 2007 09:49 PM (GMT)
ahhh i'm at school at both times
(8:00 est and 5:30 est..lol )

Zombo - March 7, 2007 12:12 AM (GMT)
Round 2 summary:

As you may know, there are 5 matches. All 5 matches will be played simultaneously, and judged at the same time. Each match is numbered. For even-numbered matches, a win gives 3 points. For odd-numbered matches, a win gives 2 points. Ties are worth 1 point. S means singles 1vs1 match, D means doubles 2vs2 match.

Lineups have been announced:

Sage cows:

D1: Worldmacker, Aug-H
D2: Gunnies, Oxygene
S3: Sathon
S4: Eriror
S5: CPC

Azzurro:

D1: Azaka, shuffle
D2: Blackhero, vicgotgame
S3: FallenSeraph
S4: flip
S5: Fitzgeraldhimself

In addition, both managers have selected to play a freeze on the match D2. Only 1 freeze was necessary to freeze the match, but since both played it at the same time, both their cards will be consumed.

Those lineups are not final; managers may use their swap cards to switch things around, except of course for match D2, which has been frozen.

Each manager now have 2 cards left: each have 2 swaps.

No chatroom event has been scheduled for round 3 due to lack of participation and lack of information, since the round could possibly be uneventful.

During round 3, managers may choose to play their cards. At the end of the round 3, we will reveal those actions.

Round 3 is scheduled to end March 7th at 8PM EST (GMT -5).

Round 3 summary:

Both managers submitted early so I am ending the round earlier too.

Basically, nothing happened :P. No changes made.

Sage Cows still have 2 swaps left.
Azzurro still have 2 swaps left.

We will now begin Round 4, which will end March 8th, 8:00 PM EST (GMT -5).

This will be the last matching round, final lineups will be posted after that. Spinners will be able to begin spinning too.

FallenSeraph - March 9, 2007 02:34 AM (GMT)
do we need a number or something?

Zombo - March 24, 2007 11:26 PM (GMT)
