New Casters?Remains to be seen how my sanity holds up being part of administration, but casting (not enough internets to stream) would be fun. I'm willing to take a crack at it either of the next 2 Sundays, and possibly again at some point in the future. No experience whatsoever. No guarantees. Probably best in color commentating, not play by play. :D

(Note, I have no plans of casting for the HC league. Don't worry about that)
sarcilege might not be able to make it this week but will try would rather later then earlyer as that is 6 in the morning
15 min match times seem way to quik having a look over some casted events in the passed the avg match time seems to be 20 to 40 mins
here's a question for everyone:
Should any rule, eg. a predetermined "picking order" (one team has to finalise their loadout before the other) be implemented to shorten lobby times and avoid "standoffs" where teams scramble around trying to counter each other's counter builds?
I'm speaking with Overwatch about entering but if we sign up it'll be right before the cut off time.ok. we can be flexible about the deadline, especially considering it's the event's first run.
I'm sorta interested in casting. I understand the game enough to speak about it I think. But, whether I do that in an interesting way on a commentary stream? I have no idea.
Hello, I would like to sign-up my team for our first competitive event.
Team name : 404 Clan Not Found
Skype contact: scorpioneinvolo
I'd like to sign up [R?] - Rhinos and a yet to be announced partner.If you want I'd be happy to join up with you.. all our NA members are unavailable for sunday and would need to find replacements anyway!
preview bracket
http://goiocommunity.challonge.com/sundayskirmish1 (http://goiocommunity.challonge.com/sundayskirmish1)
will be finalised & map rolls added tomorrow morning.
btw... I keep looking at that logo. rest assured it'll be replaced by something less obscenely bad before next Sunday. xD
as I said to you already... I don't think it's my place or right to interfere and decide who should fight who. I think deviating from policy to use authority "fix" a complicated situation is often a mistake and definitely a slippery slope. So unless there's a strong consensus that the event should take steps towards manual seeding, random seeding will remain king.preview bracket

Is it now tradition that every new team must face the Thralls constantly! We faced them at our first 2 rumbles AND they were in our sky league group! Give 404 a break and let them face us.. for fairness sake! (Just my opinion that Rhinos Vs. Thralls or Hatters would make for a more enjoyable game than the probable face-roll of Rhinos Vs. us and 404 Vs. GwTh! But of course randomly generated is randomly generated and if the teams want these brackets, feel free to keep them!)
I realise! Just a request, not a complaint! I'd written that post before remembering I had skype to contact you! Anyway, GLHF all for tomorrow!as I said to you already...

I'm affraid Rydrs will not be able to make it this Sunday, Sundays are generally a bit iffy for our team atm but we will try to participate later on and like the idea (we really missed the rumble).
here's a question for everyone:
Should any rule, eg. a predetermined "picking order" (one team has to finalise their loadout before the other) be implemented to shorten lobby times and avoid "standoffs" where teams scramble around trying to counter each other's counter builds?
I just want to point out that a time limit or some thing like that might be a bit more fair to both teams. Counter picking can play a big part in wining and forcing one team to pick ships without knowing what the other team will bring and then allowing the other team to pick after will give a huge advantage to the second team I feel. Say you where up against Rydrs and you pick first, then you take something to counter our Pyramidion due (or most commonly used ships) but then we are free to pick something completely different to counter your counter. Or even worse that you are up against a team that don't always fly the same ship then what do you pick in order to have a good game?
Maybe something like a 1 minute time limit from that all pilots join could work in order not to drag it out?
