• If you are able to, we ask that you use a wired connection while participating. This will help with optimizing your playing experience.

• This website is designed to be user friendly for reporting your own matches, but should you have any questions please feel free to contact an admin.

Please note that times and events may be subject to change.

Use of any offensive or derogatory username or team name will result in an automatic disqualification from the event.
