Re: US-International Tournament 2
Also, I should add, the current date and time are extremely provisional. I want feedback from everyone who can or can't make it. The early start is to accommodate any European players. I know the 31st is Halloween and everything, so people might have parties and other such obligations. If you want to compete but can't make the date/time, let me know! Sunday is also an option!

Yeah, I'm thinking Sunday would be better. I just wanted to get it done in October, but I guess it doesn't matter.

I hope I'll have finished my TwinStick for that date.
Oh, I'm French, what does "6 PM Eastern" means in GMT ?

Re: US-International Tournament 2
Since we would both be out of Daylight Savings Time by then (it actually ends on November 1), 6PM Eastern would be 12AM midnight your time.

I didn't got that, is it 12 AM or midnight ?
My twinstick is almost finished, some small things to fix but it works great, so I'll participate to the tourney. I'll train a bit before choosing the VR I'll use.

Re: US-International Tournament 2
Count me out. I'll be out of town that Sunday and I'm not sure what's going on on Halloween yet. Not that missing out on yet another first round loss is that big of a deal.

Re: US-International Tournament 2
3PM Eastern.
Although I'm beginning to wonder about the time. My main reason for having it so early was so the European players could play, but none of them are signing up. Hmm.
