The Battle for Reach will begin....

We had 40 Bitmob members sign up for our Halo: Reach tournament. That’s a great turnout, and we’ve assigned each registrant to one of 10 teams.

The teams are split into two divisions of five each. In the first round, each team will play every other team in best two-out-of-three Team Slayer matches (50 points to win). The top two teams in each division after the first round will advance to the semi-finals to battle it out for four copies of the Halo: Reach Legendary Edition!

The first round will begin at 6:00 p.m. PST, Friday, October 15. The semi-finals and finals will occur next week on Friday, October 22.

If you missed the deadline, leave a comment -- we may need alternates should any participants fail to show up.

Below are the assigned teams and their respective divisions. If you haven’t check the email account you used to sign up with Bitmob.com, please do, as further instructions will be found there!

Don’t forget: Each team needs a team captain! Once you have selected one, send me an email at andrew.hiscock@bitmob.com.

Teams can set aside any amount of time to practice prior to their matches, but this is totally optional.

Teams can also change their name. Please confer with your team captain!
