Sorry this is so late, guys... all the last minute stuff before con is crazy.
I promised you the teams this week, and the middle of the week sounds about right. So, without further ado...
... the teams this year are....
... not Good vs Evil 
We were close again, guys, but just fell short. We did have an amazing selection to choose from, and it took us a while to narrow it down to what we thought were the best of the bunch. So instead of a themed chess battle, we once again have a random field of players, ordered as they amuse us

If you submitted a form, but don't see your name here, you have been placed on the alternates list. If one of the assigned pieces is unable to participate, you may be chosen to replace them. If you submitted as a special attack, and your person is on the list, then you have been accepted also.
As a reminder,
all players must attend the mandatory pre-meeting at 10:00am Monday morning unless you have made prior arrangements with me. If you are not there by 10:15, you will be replaced on the board. If you have special attacks, they must be present as well.
Remember, if your cosplay is not complete, you may be replaced.
If you are not on the list, and would like to help out by being a stage ninja/special attack during the game, then come to the pre-meet and we can chat.
There are no guarantees that you will be participating. Due to some of the issues we have had in the past, I will more strict on who/how many extras will be allowed.
I will be emailing notifications out sometime tomorrow. If you have any questions, or decide you no longer wish/can participate, please let me know via e-mail or PM, or you can talk to me at con (someone is bound to know where I am).
And now... let the trash talk begin!
See you guys this weekend!
