The event will be on the AIM chatroom TTownFootballGame. If you miss your game, you are welcome to come on and haunt someone else's game. You're also welcome to come on and watch, but don't say anything if you're not involved in the event!

I have ways of dealing with the stiuation if people don't show up. You have a 15 minute window after the offical game time to show up and not be considered 'late'. If people don't show up, I have ways of compensating for this.

Hope to see you around then,
Bar-Ohki
