New Sign-Up Method

Previously, we have been conducting tournament sign-ups over e-mail, but we are now working on a new system which will not require you to do this. We are doing this for a few reasons:

  1. We have currently been having problems with our e-mail client, so there is a small risk of your e-mail not being received.
  2. It is much eaiser and safer to use a form for submission rather than e-mail.
  3. It will encourage those, who are too shy to send an e-mail to enter, as they will not need to write anything, rather than the required information needed for the tournament.
  4. Those, who do not have an e-mail address can enter.
  5. Your inbox will not receive any constant un-nessessary auto-reply messages, but simply messages essential to participating in the tournament (though an e-mail address is no longer required to enter)

However, despite these problems, we do still have a few submissions for our Metroid Prime Hunters Tournament, which are listed below. If you are not on the list, please re-enter the tournament, by sending an e-mail to: Tournaments@GamersCastPodCast.com (our form method described above is coming soon). So, here are the current friend codes we have on file:

3866-1463-7305 (John Slater*)

0687-8820-9299 (El Rey)

*names marked with asterisk indicates, that the person's actual name is being used.

As you can see, when a few hundred people download a podcast to sign-up for a video game tournament, and only two sign-up, then you know that something is wrong, which is the biggest reason we are making the change in the sign-up system. A new post will be made here once the system is ready.
