And here I am, frantically trying to put together a list of our merged teammates, and I find it all so neatly listed in this thread! Thank you so much, Kyle! I think we have one more teammate from Tesla Coil: hm3Buzz expressed interest, but I don't see him registered, so let me see if I can catch him to make certain he still wants to play. Personally, I love our Team Name, although I thought it was "50 Tesla Chicken Calculators"! I know once we all hunker down to play, it will all become crystal clear. Thanks for doing this Kyle, and I hope your birthday was the best ever! ~Elle Reply #101. Feb 03 13, 12:50 AM |

"so a separate registration from the main funtrivia site registration is required" I have never played in a private tournament before so don't understand what to do! Reply #105. Feb 03 13, 5:33 AM |

Follow the link to the tournament. It's still part of funtrivia but it's "invitation only" so you will need to register separately -- underneath the line od red writing that tells us not to research the answers, click on the link that says "Create a Free Trivia Account (instantly!)". You will be asked for a user name (you can use the one you already have) and an email address (you can use the one you've already used to register for funtrivia) and you'll be required to set a password -- the account will be set up straightaway. Go back to the tournament link, sign in. You only have to do this once. Reply #106. Feb 03 13, 6:42 AM |

But gilyz? All the steps Chavs gave you are correct. The biggest thing is that you log out, just in case it says you are logged in to private tournaments, then complete the log in process as described, or the registration process just explained to you won't work. Very frustrating! If you still can't figure it out, ask and one of us will be happy to take you through the process. Once you do it once, it does make sense. Just remember you have to go through this process with any new tournament you register with. Reply #107. Feb 03 13, 7:27 AM |

I played. Now how do I check in? Are we supposed to check in before we play? Reply #110. Feb 03 13, 9:16 AM |

Kysus, if you're a Calculator, you're playing with our merged teams! I think you did just regiser by letting Kyle know, right here, who you are, that you are registered in the tournament and are playing, and who you are affiliated with. To make it more formal, maybe send him a note via FT Mail to let him know you registerd with the tournament, you played, you're from the team Calculus, so that puts you with "50 Tesla Chicken Calculators!" And if you are playing with any name other than Kysus, he will need to know that. Reply #111. Feb 03 13, 9:48 AM |

No idea. I'll post the list on my team board, and ask if these belong to anyone :-) Reply #115. Feb 03 13, 1:37 PM |

The only name I remember playing this week was imallshukup, but that was the first sighting. Just punch the names into the box on a profile and you can get their teams and send messages from there. Reply #116. Feb 03 13, 8:34 PM |

cowboybob uses a different player name for regular fun trivia - he says he doesn't think he's going to play, so we won't ask him to make any changes to be counted with Faithful and True Reply #120. Feb 04 13, 8:44 AM |
