Hi gang,

I thought I'd risk another blog bump, since the first was over Easter and we're now back in the swing of real life, it may reach more people. I promise the spam won't get too heavy as the week continues. ;)

6 days of signups to go, and we already have 10 teams declared for the NTC. Strong stuff! Of course, you can apply as a lone wolf, but to look for a team, see the below reproduction for all of the important information.

If you sign up before the weekend, the chances are (no guarantees) that I'll have chance to check your submission and let you know if there is a problem. You'd be surprised how many issues I catch, so it's always worth getting in early to get a second pair of eyes looking over your work.

Get applying, can't wait!

Cheers!

Phil / Goo.

Hi gang.

I've no doubt that you can't miss the forum architecture (/spam...) for the NAF Team Challenge, but I thought I'd bother your blog space with all of the details as well.

Applications are now open, and we kick off on the 4th of April. Find some teammates, get stuck in, and compete for team glory!

See you there!

Phil / Goo.

NAF Team Challenge

The second Online NAF tournament of 2016 will be our first fully team-centric event! The World Cup Warm up featured a team challenge element, and it proved to be so popular that this time, teamwork will be the star of the show.

The structure of the tournament will be similar to past online NAF events - 5 rounds of Swiss will be played in (approximately) 30 team groups individually. The teams with the best combined scores will then advance into team v team playoffs.

Looking for a team? Check out our matchmaking thread. Teams should consist of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 coaches. A team captain should be nominated, and he / she needs to follow the instructions in the scoring thread.

In the event you'd like to participate in the NTC as a lone wolf, you're of course more than welcome!
