Re: 2009 Tempest 'N Tampa
 

Out of curiosity, what's the upper limit for number of teams this year?

Re: 2009 Tempest 'N Tampa
 

We would like to have between 20-30 this year, but there could be enough room for up to 40, you never know

Re: 2009 Tempest 'N Tampa
 

Tech tigers #1251 will be there in full force ;) to play some lunacy. I'm sure our twin brother 1902 will be around as well. Can't wait. Ohh btw if Brian needs me to Ref again I'd be glad too, he knows the email haha.

TNT is two weeks from tomorrow and we have some final things to say to the team members attending. First, the LAN party will be back, bring your Xbox, Playstaion, TVs and games. There will be routers available. Also, remember that it gets cold at night, bring a blanket or sweat shirt. If you have any more questions please feel free to post them here.
