From a PM
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I have a question about the time.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Sunday, July 29th is the start of the PS3 League. Both leagues events will start ~ 8 PM(your local time but can be +/- one hour from the stated time based on who registered for the event). </div></div>

I'm curious, how can it start at 8PM for everyone's local time? I mean, if it's 8PM for my brother in XXX, it's 6PM for me in XXX. Kinda confused about it, and I don't wanna miss the event by logging on at 8PM only to find the event happened an hour ago!

Thanks. </div></div>

Before the event, there will be another post / group PM to those participating (in PDF there is a 1 page outline of how the season will proceed and how each individual event will be done). Each "event" is basically numerous small tournaments with people grouped together in a similar geographic area. Thus, you will be playing with people in the same time zone as you (your local time of 8 PM). Thus, your tournament start time will be 2 hours after your brother tournament start time. The +/- one hour is just in case there are too few people within your timezone participating in the event; thus, there is a chance you will be playing with people in a different time zone. Hope this clarifies what I wrote earlier.

If enough people in your time zone is participating - 8 PM your local time. If not enough people in your time zone is participating...you live in Europe...so possibly 9 PM your local time. This will not be known until the registration deadline for this weekend event. I will be posting a countdown timer hopefully after work.

I do not have exact numbers off my head, but the 360 League had more iirc (the email I sent to everyone before this news headline had some numbers). I will make an update after work.

Please check the second post of this news thread for the information.

Yes, to make this run efficiently I would like to have these events start at the time stated with little delay as possible.

Second post updated with countdown timer for registration deadline of this weekend's round robin event.

A mass email was sent to everyone registered for the VF Circuit (as of today). If you do not received it tomorrow (check your spam and junk mail also), let me know.

The second post is updated again with the most up-to-date player list. In addition I made two more files, 360 and PS3 league. If you already told me that you will be participating this weekend, a colored box should be in the "round robin" column in the same row as your name. If you signed up and you are not shown to participate in the round robin events, please let me know as soon as possible.

Also I started VF Circuit Blog to organize information related to these online events.

Thanks.

A PM will be sent with detailed information before the tourney start time (challonge brackets will also be used). We will be using the room match mode. I will be present on VFDC to coordinate things while people are playing.

Oh I forgot to list the statistics:

Currently we have 148 people signed up for the Season (note: this is not the number of people participating this weekend).

83 People in the PS3 League
96 People in the 360 League

110 People are from North America
35 People from Europe
3 People from Japan
