I'm just going to leave this teaser trailer here as well as in the forum; applications will open Monday night, Sep. 5 for the Online Welsh Open. There will also be all of the usual rulespack, news articles and general bumping. Get those cards marked, we kick off on Sep. 12!

With the Spike! Magazine Showdown coming to a close (grats to Jokaero on his win!), we should start talking about our next Online NAF tournament.
This time, we are moving from Canada to Wales and partnering with the Welsh Open! Full details will be available on Mon Sep. 5, and you'll be able to make a team and apply to the group at that point (I'll also be bothering all of your news outlets as much as I can). Those of you that have joined us before for Online NAF events will know the drill, but in summary (and this is subject to change between now and the rulespack being published) to whet your whistle:
