Petio,
That'd be far too laggy. This particular event is limited to residents of the United States and Canada (excluding Quebec).
My team ahas never played in online turny just lans ect. i'm unsure how to report wins and set up matchs
Can anyone elaborate on what maps are going to be played? I'm not asking for sepcific maps, but different game types do matter quite a bit when building teams.
tl;dr Is this an arena, CTF, KOTH, CP or PL?or some type I have forgotten?
Once the event starts, you'll be able to setup and report matches through the site. Just make sure you have the Match Network Client downloaded.
All the event specifics, including the maps and schedule, are on the micro-site at

nitro,
All the details are at http://www.alienwarearena.com/event/killeredge, and you'll be able to manage your matches through your control panel (when you login) once the event begins.
Everyone -
A quick update: we've pushed the whole schedule back a full week so as not to conflict with Thanksgiving week. Hopefully this will help ensure you don't have any problems scheduling your matches.
how many servers are you guys gonna host for this? i heard you guys are gonna set up some servers for the people who can't host dedicated servers.
VinnyD
ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh yea
[FaF]TriggaVince,
We'll most likely have around 12 servers.
So Can you have Your matches planned for the weekend Prior to the Deadline?
God of Failure,
Yes.
Thanks... =D But what if the Opposing team does not want to or cant? And When are the brackets going to be posted? Dieing to see them =P And... (Yeah i know "OMG SHUT UP"...) ...Are the servers going to be password protected so that nobody but the competitors can join? Just curious... Will the servers provide the downloads for the maps when you join, So we don't have to do it? (in case some people don't know how to do it on their own... *Cough*)
can you have more than 6 people on your team? i know that only 6 players can be playing at a time on a map. also does one of the two teams playing have to run the server or are there servers available? thanx
God of Failure,
a. You need to negotiate a time with your opponents to play.
b. Brackets will be posted once registration has closed.
c. Servers are password protected, yes. Our servers are pre-configured with everything that's needed.
--
BundD,
a. Yes, you can have more than 6 players on your team roster. There is no roster limit.
b. We prefer if you use your own servers, however we have a few of our own that you can request just before match time.
"use your own server" does it mean a dedicated one?
are your servers free? and how long before match time?
also whats the difference between 'Captain' and 'A-Captain'?
thanx
