Team Heroes games will run every third day at Wit's End (

Any players that are members of exisitng FunTrivia teams may represent those teams.

As nutty as it seems, you really do have to register for every private/public tourney you play in. And, it is vital that you log out first, or it gives you that invalid message. It's frustrating, but true, and I forget it every time I add a new tournament. So log out, "create" your name and password and follow all the "creation" instructions, and you should then be good to go. And until Kyle gets back, I'm sure we can all help each other in here with any other login questions. Happy Birthday, Kyle! Reply #81. Feb 01 13, 12:52 AM |

Feb 01 13, 7:51 AM ====================== Papo, Kyle, our faithful organizer of this event, is away for the weekend, and that's why you aren't receiving answers from him. I can answer part of this question for you. Just like the Heroes tournament here in Fun Trivia, "Wit's End" is a private tourney with the same hours as Heroes in Fun Trivia, so you have 24 hours to play. If you are in the PST timezone, you have until 10 p.m. your time before that game and topic for that day ends. And also, the site shuts down every night for 30 minutes for site maintenance, to include that private tourney, and for you if PST is your timezone, that 30 minutes is from 1 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. every night. If you're registered in the Wit's End tournament right now, you could play just to practice, and then see how it all works. This special tournament hasn't officially started yet. Kyle is the only person with access to the list of players registered from your team, so if you need to know who they are before he returns, maybe you could ask your teammates on your Team MB to let you know who is registered and plans to play. If you read above, Kyle left a long note reiterating everything, and that's where he also talks about being away for the weekend for his birthday. I hope this helps you. ~Elle Reply #83.

Hi, Black Dress - we have another Thunder Chicken member signed up - he is KingCheese. Does he have to sign up elsewhere? I guess you can add him to our new team, do you know the name yet? Glad you're helping out! Reply #84. Feb 01 13, 10:32 AM |

Hate to trouble you so near the commencement, but I know we have a couple of late entries to "Scotland the Brains" team and I wonder if you could let me know our qualifying players (I understand there must be a cut off point) Many thanks, Steve Reply #93. Feb 02 13, 12:41 PM |

I am just back, and sorry to be away, it couldn't be avoided, but I think we've just come up with the name for our combined team! I know there is a race now to the deadline, but rest assured, we're working on this and it's going to be SO much fun! TAR_fan and I will let you know, probably in FT Mail, the name of our team, and our teammates, and of course, we'll let Kyle know, too, so he can pull us all together. This is such a great merger! ~Elle Reply #97. Feb 02 13, 10:31 PM |
