As many of you are well aware, Sunday brings with it Magic-League's Invitational. While only a limited number of invites are given out, there's always the opportunity to participate in coverage.

Currently, feedback has been strong from my announcement on Magic-League. There have been a number of people who have expressed an interest in writing coverage for the invitational. At this stage, the details we know are:

• EarthPunk, myself and neosystems will all be present to coordinate coverage for the Invitational
• Coverage will begin the 36 hours before the beginning of the invitational, at the beginning of the Grinders.
• Feature match and miscellaneous text coverage will be the focus

If anyone has any suggestions for other forms of coverage that we can set up for this invitational, please give an admin a heads up in #coverage or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

For those of you who want to write coverage, please idle in #coverage in addition to #magic-league :)

Cheers,

Roo

Greetings,

As some of you may be aware, coverage of late has been...less than substantial. This is due to a number of things:

• The admin team (myself, neosystems and EarthPunk) have all been unavailable for intensive coverage development. neosystems and myself are both busy with college, and EarthPunk is minus a working computer.
• Of the several people that have contacted me interested in writing regular columns, there has only been one that has managed to submit an article. That column has subsequently become inactive because of its writer's access difficulties (EarthPunk).
• The four people currently with the ability to lead tournament coverage (the administrators + Truth) aren't able to be present for a range of reasons, including unfriendly tournament times and personal issues. There is also a lack of people willing to write tournament coverage, which makes it difficult to produce coverage even when people are available to lead. Without people willing to write and people who have proven themselves to be capable to lead tournament coverage, it effectively halts our ability to produce it.

In essence, the issue lies with a lack of manpower. Without people available for different elements of coverage (both writing and implementation of features) coverage will essentially remain inactive. As coverage director, I cannot run the entire department alone - coverage needs a team of people working together in order to make it work. As always, you can contact me either at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or through an admin in #coverage. Although we may not respond immediately, we will respond as soon as we see it.
