COM/AD Proton reporting for the Emperor's Hammer flagship, the SSSD Sovereign, on 9-9-04:

SOVEREIGN LEAGUE

-- The COM's office has dispatched several squadrons of Imperial stormtroopers to locate and detain the coordinators of the Sovereign League divisions, so we can get the Finals under way. I will do my best to keep everyone posted, and I appreciate your patience.

Here are the pairings:

TIE:
Omega Squadron vs. Praetorian Squadron for first place.
Sin Squadron vs. Kappa Squadron for third place.

XWA:
Praetorian Squadron vs. Omega Squadron for first place.
Hunter Squadron already has secured third place.

XvT:
Praetorian Squadron vs. Hunter Squadron for first place.
Due to a file submission matter the judges are looking into, Phoenix, Epsilon and possibly Krayt squadrons remain in consideration for a possible playoff for third place.

-- Reminding, as an incentive for Sovereign pilots to get involved in IA, I am opening a screenshot contest. Send me a screenshot of your experience inside IA and you could win an IS-GR. Deadline is Sept. 30.
For this and more information about IA, check the IA message board:

-- I have changed my e-mail address to hullbreach@gmail.com. Cantina Comments this week is abbreviated because I am no longer receiving mail from the wings I and II lists. Admins, I guess you can invite me back onto those lists if you would like.

-- Jump to Lightspeed has gone to beta. GN Compton and VA Ky Terrak are in the beta group, and hopefully some other EHers will get in. Cyric, Compy, Ky and I are working on a plan to integrate JTL flight operations into the TC. If anyone has any ideas about this, I would appreciate your sending them in to me asap!
