SNF5 First Quali Trny Nov.2-3 Q&A

All commanders are allowed right now. This is a non-issue, please stop talking about it, kthx? The rules are perfectly explicit and fine the way they are. The commanders won't change throughout the season, so that list is final.

it said i had to few numbers in my id 2 days ago, which i fixed but still it has not been updated by you guys so what is going on?Steam Alias: utmost
Steam ID#: 76561198012191216

Your Steam ID is too short. Please adjust it, or your sign-up will not be valid.

Did you PM somebody to make them aware that you made the change? We're not mind-readers, you know? Anyway, I'll update you now.

thank you mr. mind reader, lighten up

We're not gonna forbid the use of it. But we're not gonna explain to people on how to use it. Using the screenshotter (V3) is at your own risk. If a player can't provide a stream or set of screenshots we will DQ them.

I do not see a link to screenshotter (V3) in the official rules, and the Google search for "screenshotter (V3)" doesn't give an obvious result for which download link is the correct one. Could you please provide a link so there is no ambiguity / confusion?

You can download the screenshotter from here.

So, this is gonna be fun. The clocks already changed in Europe, so England is on GMT and Europe is back on CET (GMT+1). But! North America hasn't changed their clocks yet! In fact, North America changes on the night of November 2nd. Ready for some timezone confusion this weekend? Good grief.

Players in North America are going to have to be extra careful about knowing when the check-in period actually starts and ends, and when the tournament starts. Because for you guys, the tournament will start at one time on Saturday, but an hour EARLIER on Sunday, and both with be at 1600h GMT. Fun, huh?

Let me see if I can wrap my head around this.

On November 2, 1600h GMT = 4pm in London, 5pm in Europe (CET), and 12 noon in New York. (wtf, this has got to be the only two weeks in the year when New York is only 5 hours behind Berlin, instead of the usual 6 hours). This means the the check-in period in New York will be between 10am and 11:30am EDT (Eastern Daylight Time).

Now on Sunday, November 3rd (if you make it that far), the games will start once again at 1600h GMT, which will once again be 4pm in London, and 5pm in Europe, BUT, it will now be 11am EST (Eastern Standard Time) in New York. GOT IT?

Yeah that's fine for RIGHT NOW, but it doesn't help you plan for the weekend unless you are aware of the changes... and aware of the fact that Europe will NOT change, and North America will.

There's enough time zone confusion when we're not in some funny window. I can guarantee you that this will throw plenty of players for a loop.

Dum dums don't deserve special dispensation

Just change the current clock you have to when people should sign-in on the site after sign-ups have expired, solves all time problems, as people only have to look at one countdown clock. Simple, easy, effective.

The awesome new ticker (coded by Inverse and yours truly) is already set to change to various stages, including check-ins open, check-ins close, day 1 tourney starts, and day 2 tourney starts.

this is truly good thing MVGame

Unfortunately I cannot make the first qualifier this weekend as I have been unable to get it off from work which is not usually the case. Hopefully I can participate in the next qualifier and I wish everyone the best of luck. Many apologies.

Could someone please link me a nice tutorial how to get coh 2 running with twitch, i messed around yesterday with xsplit free and managed to get my desktop showing. Coh 2 however was blackscreen.

I saw that i needed to add screen region with it in windowed mode but i dont want to play coh2 in windowed mode.

Does anyone know?
