Weekly Cup #2: Signups
Welcome to the 2nd edition of the Weekly Cup series.
After a meeting with my team mates regarding last Week's Cup experience, we have come to an acknowledge on some points. First of all, we have decided that breaking the event into two straight days will ease the day for all of us, this means that from now on Weekly Cups are played on both Saturday and Sunday. Also, it was agreed that weekly money prize is from now on declined to $45, as before, sponsored by Coppenst and D2B. We also thought that we should give a try to the YouTube streaming tool for this week's Cup (probably for the future ones too).
There is actually something more lads. Weekly Cup #1 was the last cup for Cypek as he decided to retire from the adminship. Thanks for your effort mate, not only you put into this Cup but all the uncountable in past.
Weekly Cup #2 signups are open now, as earlier, first 16 to apply in comments go straight in list. But please, make sure that you have enough time to give to it as it's now taking 2 straight days to play. Also, make sure that you have read the rules, they have also been updated.
