IVery few really know why, and for those do know, they always have a home at the place with the rubber lined rooms and the long sleeved jackets.

To the best of my knowledge the practice game went without a hitch.  No problems were brought to my attention, no changes will be made.  I'll be closing down the practice game (K) Friday morning.
Game will be banged as Game A: B.O.T.E. Tournament and will open for play at 1pm EST.  Game will be closed until the appointed time, after which you can enter the game as normal.  I will not be closing this game unless all players are in game, and I'm asked to do so.  I ask that if you're not in the tournament, please do not enter game. 
If you're team is not a full team at start time, partial teams are permitted,but there will be no subs once the game is started.
The game details and logs will be available at http://runawayproton.com:88/twws/twstats.cgi?twa
My site is at telnet://runawayproton.com:23 and the website is at http://www.runawayproton.com  I'd also like to utilize my new website for tournaments at http://www.tradewarstournaments.com if we can.  I've set up a thread there and hope it can be used for this and all tournaments.
Any and all questions can be directed to me via email runawayproton@gmail.com or icq of 343-491-078
I hope for a clean game.  I plan to run without interuptions (phone company line refreshes excluded) but if I do have to shut down the game for any reason, I'll give a 5 minute warning, and bring the game back up on the nearest quarter hour after things are fixed.
I may enter game as an observer.  I will stay in fed if I do.  I'm only there to observe Fed Chatter and such. I will not do ANY tedits during game. No problems were brought to my attention in practice game so I'm assuming all agree edits are fine as is. Have fun, and good luck to all.

OK, Maintenance is complete.  My TWGS will not shut down unless emergency till after BOTE is over.
Remember, if there is a problem resulting in the TWGS going down.  I'll bring it back up on the nearest quarter hour ( :00 :15 :30 :45 ) I hope not to have to do so, but you can never predict a perfect game nor do I wish to do so and jinks it.
By my count we have 6 corps ready to play.  Sites represented sofar will be:
UTW
Ice9
Vulcan
Rev
MyTradewars
Traherns's Tavern
Good luck to all and may the best team win.

THis time the move worked, laff. Go figure.
