Title: Back to Basics!! 3.3
Post by: KitKatKitty on March 14, 2016, 07:11:25 pm

Back to Basics 3.3 Sign-Ups!!

Time: Sunday March 20th at 2:00pm EDT (MUSE TIME)(6:00pm UTC)

This event is for teams of all sizes and compilations. 8-player teams, 4-player teams, a team made of clan members, a team made of just friends, a team made from mix clans, new or old...you are all welcome to join. This event is truly for practice! We want teams to have a place to practice, try new things, swap tips, strategies, and tactics. A place for 4-player teams to find other 4-player teams they may work well with if they'd like to participate in an 8-player team event, such as the SCS. We would like this to be as stress free as possible so teams can work on their skills and learn from their time at Back to Basics!! and from the other teams/players who are also participating.

Casting this supernacular event will be Solidusbucket! He will be casting HERE! (http://Twitch.Tv/Solidusbucket)

This post says sunday but the 19th is a saturday.

If it is on the 19th then you need to omit the part about matches being complete before scs.

ED: I've been requested to withdraw the Ryder team for balance reasons. My apologies to anyone that was unhappy with their experiences the past couple weeks, and hope everyone enjoys this week's event.

I'm sorry to see you and your team has decided to withdraw from the matches but this was not a request that either organizer of Back to Basics made.

This is super confusing.... in game it says next event is this one but coming to the thread it looks like it already passed??

is there an event coming up or not? Also why send people to a forum page for a sign up, send them to a single page web form, even a google form would be better than this.

This is a terrible way to handle sign ups for an event.

Unsure on when the next event is, but to answer about external site or Google docs sign ups..
Official forums are always the first place to check for community and developer run events and thus the easiest place for people to sign up, adding an additional site for sign ups adds additional work for organisers beyond what they already have to do and often adds an additional hurdle sometimes additional registrations many people would not be willing to do.

Kamoba pretty much answered why we don't have external sign-ups. The link simply was not updated in the game since last week was Easter and this weekend (April 10th) I will be out of town so will not be able to run the event. There will be a Back to Basics!! on May 17th. As soon as I put up the link the guys at Muse will update the in game link.

Hi there,

We went ahead and removed the banner until a definitive update to this event is posted by the organizers.
