OK Champs, here's the deal.

8pm -> 8:59 = [BBH]
9pm -> Late = [BUD]

Both are keen to have a friendly, [BUD] were so keen in fact that they wanted to play after our [BBH] match, so you're in for sin on Thumpin Thursday:

Double Whammerz:

Shouldn't really need a sign-up for this, anyone who's putting themselves in for the match must be available for the practices.

We have sufficient top quality players now that we shouldn't have to scrape together a team for the week's fixtures.

So please, if you can't make Thursday's friendlies, don't sign up for Sundays match (or at least put your name down as a reserve).

I agree with Jarrod. Put your name down for the game, if the SL choose you then you automatically have signed up for the prac.

I hate Paul.

After a lot of trials and tribulations, all versions of the game client has now completed QA successfully.

Lee, why don't we move the prelim, internal, dry run, strategic discussion (whatever you call fooling around on the server testing stuff out and learning the proposed strategy) to Wednesday night instead of tonight, in which case we could actually test this on the server in a "semi-controlled" environment before our game on Thursday.
