Hi folks, apologies for my silence last couple of days. Just been busy trying to get a volunteer project finished (not quite done, but soon...)
Current team pools:
USA (14): Wesdogg75, natemakesaholein, devonnnnn, KyRock75, Iconian, deedles77, ColumbusStorm, bhoese, Woodoworkery, JimBech, Cygnus3000, SilentOmegaWolf, dougsda, dakotarov
ROW (12): Corwyn, Daskino, GladstoneScrewer, LOLserver, jsweetcr, TallAcePaul, Dazza501, johehejo & Fairwayruepel68 (last 2 via PM), fmagnets, SteveReilly, WigerToods2010
Kurtsbuford is willing to be a US alternate, while dakotarov's signup took the US 'pool' to 14 already. oneeyedjohn also signed up (but as ROW's 13th player...)

I have been in communication with several players regarding captaincies, and we should have news soon.
I'm hoping to move things along speedily towards a start to this tourney next week if possible, and running late-January into mid-February. (This is earlier than first anticipated as we are no longer doing any qualification period, but instead running it as self-selected volunteer teams. Please post here if this earlier timeframe will be affect your participation).
Please look out for Friend Requests coming your way, and also watch this thread for our official Sign-Up form (coming in the next day or two), on which you will indicate your preferred teammate for the Worst-Ball and Best-Ball series, and most important, your Time Availability. This is going to be the crucial part of making the tourney work. We will play our games against people who have stated they CAN play at that given time. The bane of all multiplayer tournies is trying to get people from different time zones together. We'll overcome that by sorting out availability at the beginning, and defining matches based on that. Anyone who's been a part of our Tough-It-Out and other UEL tournies will know how helpful this system is.
We can still take provisional signups here in the thread, but please note that you will likely be an alternate at this point.
Thanks, Corwyn
